Not the MTA trying to justify $30 million staircases in Times Square that no one actually uses 😭

How many billion dollars went into East Side Access?

Says almost same projects in Europe take about 3 Billion worst case. And this costs 7 Billion…

“But the eye-watering price tag means the MTA can’t break ground until it scores $3.4 billion from the Biden administration.”

There we go. Need to justify grabbing as much fed gov’t money as possibly with bullshit and inefficiency.

The mta is an absolute black hole. They can tax everyone on the entire planet and that would still not be enough to fuel one of the most corrupt entities ever created. Just shut it down, seal up the tunnels, and let the chips fall where they may..

It's the other way around: Famous Actors should realize how random strange can be hazardous to their careers; either do not say you are exclusive or stay monogamous. Avoid crazy people (hard for crazy people not to date crazy people, but there you go).

It's better to stay with someone who knew you before you became big then to chase a bunch of starf*ckers and catch a stupid charge or get divorced or what-have-you.

Especially if you have a temper.

Omg, please tell me MTA doesn’t sub out lightbulb changes.

It is surprisingly good for The Post. Still, I wish there was more explanation of the different theories behind why MTA projects are so expensive.

Lol. So you only eat at the office? I can't tell if you're for real or not at this point. You can't seriously have studied economics and not understand things like average income...

Get out of your own head friend, I see no hissy fit in my post but go off :)

I knew someone that worked off Broadway. He said whenever a light blew they changed all the lights. Union rules were such that you had to pay for a large minimum block of time, so they might as well do it all at once. They donated the used bulbs at least.

No, the in-house chefs at work only make like 200k, but I also don't think they could run a large organization.

Why Construction Projects Always Go Over Budget

TLDW:

• It's complicated
• Management always wants an easy round number to work with and engineers might throw out a number with caveats but the caveats fall on deaf ears
• Sometimes a rough number is used at the requirements gathering stage that isn't meant to be the final number, but that number gets leaked to the press, and now every cost analysis is framed around that number
• Construction projects are complex. You can do your best to analyze all facets like ground conditions, but you can never get the entire picture and so the chances of running into on-the-ground issues are fairly high
• Scammers exists at all stages, eg. some man-in-the-middle might have swapped out your supplies with shoddier quality. Of course you can always test all of the supplies/equipment you receive, but that comes with added cost and time.

Cool story bro, you have time to tell it again?

Do you buy food or coffee in the city? You think the people who sell it to you are making 500k?

You seem pretty dumb to making so much money.

I make 1.3m and am the poorest of my 20 something friends

I mean, there are some. I wouldn't say most. There's a pot of people here making minimum wage at 25 lol.

Btw, every time they change a lightbulb, it’s $700. For one bulb.

Well a lot of ex MTA workers (mostly retired managers) also work for those consultant firms. One example is the MTA brought in consultants about the rails you have an entire track department why the hell do you need outside help

Nah fuck the bronx

Those women who date male celebrities are so stupid. Those men are never faithful. They need to accept non-monogamy for the lifestyle or get a job like the rest of us.

Design-build is an issue too. Its outsourcing government work to private sector

Perhaps North Carolina lets landlords that can't handle it simply fail instead of letting them discriminate against applicants. No one has a right to a successful business, you have to work for it. If you want a successful NYC real estate business guess what; you're going to work for it.
