I worked there almost 40 years ago, and it has sucked EVERY DAY since then.

I have a picture of an amazon truck with Bolsonaro propaganda

Was going to say looks like it’s in Lawrenceville, close to Mrs. Gs (although I think they destroyed that and built a Wawas?)

I understand. We’re essentially forced to drive to get anywhere. When I lived abroad for a while it put my mind into perspective how inferior our infrastructure is

Bolsonaro sounds like another IPA Craft Beer.

So... you're saying this thing has a predictable route?

Really? Damn that sucks.

Edit: also if you want to name and shame any restaurants who do that, so I stop going there...

It's a type of "nose in the air" exclusionism.

Where a lot of immigrants who worked hard, did the paperwork, waited the 7 to 10 years, and gained meaningful employment in the states feel they are being lumped in with people running from poverty and violence in a refugee like condition.

They don't want to acknowledge that they were never seen as equals by a lot of hard conservatives. They truly believe they're accepted by the GOP for who they are, not their money.

Yes, that is a symptom of being reliant on cars, which the OC advocated against

I used to live by this intersection, I hated it.

Public transit is non existent in too many areas or is slow/sucks. 25 min driving or 1 hour on transit (plus waiting for the train, bus, etc on their schedule), I’m taking the former.

Ah, so it is. I saw a link on raceentry.com with the date above, but the Rutgers Unite facebook page said it's dead. Shame, it was a fun race. Ran it in 2019 and was all set to run it in 2020 until Covid cancelled it.

Shut the fuck up bruh. Now have a nice day.

I'd drive across and do a u-e

Yup, this has been one of the absolute worst in the area and has managed to get even worse when they built all the new nonsense on the opposite corner (chik-fil-a etc). For a while it also had an overly aggressive red light camera that ended up costing the town more money in legal wrangling than it brought in (while lining the pockets of the company that administered the violations), but thankfully that has been removed.

This is just poorly designed. I'll take 1 over 287 anyday.

I'll never understand that perspective from a dense population of (largely undocumented, based on my time in 2017-2019 working on the ACS survey for the census bureau) immigrants

The USA annihilated Brazil's sovereignty when the CIA instigated operation car wash. Dems and republicans are indistinguishable besides abortion and gay rights. Lula, while a liberal, fights for indigenous rights, among other important issues. I don't care if someone voted trump because he and his base are incompetent idiots. Bolsonaro's aren't incompetent. They commit political violence with greater frequency than that which happens here. Plenty of people here vote in Brazilian elections against the interest of their loved ones. I have every right to tell them to get fucked if they vote against mine.

That must be the most harrowing 20-30 seconds of your day. How do you get out of bed every morning?

There are 5 people at my job so I can say that no one is republican here. Remember you don't know me or anything about me.

The GOP is overtly against all Americans having equal rights. Why would you support that?

Wow, that's weird. To me anyway.

I thought the Rutgers half was dead? Where did you see this?

There are definitely Republicans where you work. We just don't advertise it because of nutjobs like yourself. We just go and quietly vote.

My fuckin’ in-laws are Jewish expats from Russia. They fled for persecution reasons.

Anti-immigrant and Republican authoritarian. Like wtf?

I remember my wife was completely beleaguered by her father and mother’s comments on immigration. She said, then you guys gotta go. You were immigrants. You don’t want immigrants here. Leave America. They had nothing to say.

I asked, “Why did you leave an authoritarian government for fear of your life only to want another authoritarian government?”

Edit: I’m seeing some conservatives a little unhappy with this post.

To clarify: they came here illegally via fake visa. They are now legal citizens for over 20 years.

They are against ALL immigration. Legal or not. They just want America to themselves (white).

some dude can't get over it. big deal. lodge a noise complaint with the local authority
