Thank you for whichever uBlock Origin block list removes the comment section on the NY Post!

I can see the resemblance to an older Pam Beesly, but not how Jenna Fischer looks now or probably will probably look at the same age.

Your company was reimbursing you for two $7 midtown tunnel tolls every day ($14/day), and providing you free on-site parking, but $9 for congestion pricing is too much?

As got going through Manhattan to get to NJ, it is one of the defacto routes from LI. The Williamsburg bridge to the Holland Tunnel is like 5 of the busiest blocks through Manhattan that was toll free. For anyone on the north shore off the LIE looking to get to the turnpike, Google will always suggest going through Manhattan. Same goes for getting to Newark airport, even though the Goethals bridge is about the same distance away from the tunnel.

When you were living in Queens and working in Manhattan, were you driving into Manhattan? Even for people who do have a car in the outer boroughs, most take public transportation to get into Manhattan.

If you were driving in, parking in a garage in Manhattan for the day can be like $50. Then there’s the time it takes to go 20 blocks in gridlock because there’s so much traffic. Having a car is expensive, and if programs are put in place to fund and expand public transportation, and discourage car travel that’s wasteful of resources in the most densely populated places in the country, that’s a good thing.

Realistically, the people who this impacts the most are the people from Long Island who use Manhattan as a free alternative to get to NJ, rather than paying for the Verrazano.

Manhattan is unlike almost all cities in the US. Most people don’t own cars, and a lot of people rely on public transportation to get around. Incentivising public transportation and funding that while discouraging car traffic is what the author is talking about.

I’m not sure if that’s true anymore: https://www.osc.ny.gov/press/releases/2024/04/ny-received-more-washington-it-sent-due-federal-relief

From what I read they filed a lawsuit within the hour of receiving the letter and will continue to collect tolls until a judge tells them not to.

I’d imagine he’d withhold all federal highway funds for NYS as long as the congestion pricing is in place.

This is the full letter sent by Duffy. Basically since federal money was used to build the roads, they can’t be tolled without federal approval.

The Federal-Aid Road Act of 1916, Congress has required that roads constructed with Federal-aid highway funds be free from tolls of all kinds, subject to limited exceptions.

In 1991, Congress created a limited exception to the tolling prohibition for “congestion pricing pilot projects” implemented by States, local governments, or public authorities.

The Trump administration is arguing that the tolls are mainly there to benefit the MTA, and there wasn’t a need to controlling congestion, even though that’s what’s happening. Anyone who says there isn’t a need to control congestion has never driven in lower manhattan without a motorcade.

Be petty and withhold sending federal funds which Congress already allocated for this very thing. Republicans in Congress have already shown they’re his bitch, and won’t do anything about him taking away their power of the purse.

If the website only uses two digit years, eventually you’ll hit a time where you don’t need to scroll at all.

Reauthorizing the Patriot Act

Is this summary AI generated, it’s garbage and seems to contradict the linked article, which is about the same length. The way it’s phrased makes it sound like the free tax filing is still offered, only with customer support now, and no online component. The article makes no mention of this.

Regardless of the false claims, how does dwarfism affect the abilities of an FAA ATC? Is this just ableism and he’s saying the quiet part out loud?

People who sat out on voting for Kamela over the Biden handling of Gaza voted for this.

Unfortunately in places where this is a law, the response has been violence towards trans men
