That is either fake news or someone who has had way too many kids. The starting salary is higher than 60,000 and you need to have at least 5 kids to qualify for WIC at that income level.

I got caught behind that caravan too! I wondered also if maybe it was a delivery for the MTA because they also buy from Kawasaki, who as others have mentioned, finishes manufacturing train cars in Yonkers.

There are teachers who qualify for WIC… those fatcats.

Wish we could get teacher shortages. Way too many bloated salaries. We have a high cost of living because of high taxes! Cut the bloat!

Yup.

Also PA is supposed to start refurbishing existing cars. Don’t know if they started that yet or not. But at some point in the near future all existing cars are supposed to cycle out for a while to get refurbished.

Next years budget will again see a pretty sizable hike. Inflation is still relatively high (but slowing), tax revenue for the state is expected to decline due to the economy, and Abbott dollars subsidizing JCBOE will continue to disappear as planned.

Not to mention high cost of living means JC like NYC needs to seriously consider raises for its employees if they don’t want to have staffing shortages due to people leaving for better paying jobs. Recruiters actively target city employees in NYC right now, and I don’t think an ordinance is going to slow that down.

Thank you do that correct assumption. I just don't know who does the work, or if the post office has any control. I myself am responsible for getting it done. I'm asking about process. Appreciate that!

Also, a ROTH 401K is not the same as a ROTH IRA. You can walk into any wealth management office (Merrill Lynch, Fidelity, TDA) and they will set one up for you for free.

The spicy miso ramen is perfection for a cold!

Not for smaller buildings

Fidelity - you can do it online with them. Make sure you're fully aware of the income limits etc.

There’s a league that seems to play in Lincoln Park during the non-winter months. I don’t know for sure that it’s a league but they have uniforms.

Homemade: make your own

The PATH is really unpredictable. Even in the middle of Route 1-9, rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 600-ft fully loaded PA5, heading east out of the low-lying lands of the Great Swamp NWR, will be right on your ass the next moment.

I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw 3rd rail underneath and heard “This is the train to….World Trade Center. The next stop is…Exchange Place.”

Deafening closing-door tones. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was an 8-car PATH, headed east towards the tunnel to the WTC Station. Majestic as hell: 55 mph, 51 feet (16 m) long by 9.2 feet (2.8 m) wide, a smaller loading gauge compared to similar vehicles in the US, due to the restricted structure gauge through the tunnels under the Hudson River. Whole house shook!

Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a PATH train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those trails?

A big hole in homeland security is subway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a PATH train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.

During rush hour, this is how they reposition trains and cars between Harrison and WTC.

Not a cricket player but I’ve seen a group play pretty consistently in Washington Park in the heights. Though with the weather turning, probably not as much

 PATH’s $1B improvement plan, set to deliver longer trains, new cars, tap and go fare payment

Before the pandemic turned commuting upside down, PATH embarked on a $1 billion improvement program in June 2019. This year, riders will start to see the results, starting with longer platforms to ease overcrowding by allowing use of longer nine-car trains.. 

The end of 2022 will see the arrival of the first of 72 brand new railcars and in 2023, the rest of those cars will be delivered. PATH will embark on a pilot after that to test a new tap-and-go fare system to pay by chip embedded credit or debit card or smartphone. 

To get it done, PATH general manager Clarelle DeGraffe turned to Damian McShane, PATH assistant director of capital improvements, who worked with her on rebuilding the World Trade Center site before coming to the railroad.

 “Today, the nine car program is alive, it is well and it is advancing. We’re looking to see limited nine-car train operation by the end of this year, by end of December,” said DeGraffe. “A lot of work had gone in to preparing for that and Damian has led the team in that effort.”

Poke n' Ramen 360 has a really solid tonkatsu ramen.

sounds like it’s probably delivery of new cars.

A whole PATH train can runs hundreds, possibly even over 1,000 ft in length. Do you mean a train car?

Random guess, but it may be being delivered to PATH from the factory. I think there's actually a Kawasaki factory in Yonkers of all places that manufactures them. So it kind of makes sense that it'd be delivered by road from Yonkers given the dearth of rail connections that would allow freight on that stretch of the Hudson.

I think they did a 50% off discount today. Between that and the bad weather they're probably overwhelmed.

A photo of this would be gold

The lentil soup at Ibby's is excellent. So is their chicken soup, when they have it
