They're basically trash and have been since forever.
Picking some of the JC spots at random, we've got the following:
Fire & Oak - 2- Course Lunch Starting at $29 / 3-Course Dinner Starting at $49 per person. Available Monday through Friday for lunch and Monday through Thursday for Dinner
Looks like it'll save you upwards of five-ten dollars maybe? Hard to tell with no prices and guessing on what they'll serve based on their regular menu
Light Horse Tavern - has a moderately large menu for RW, but no prices and no notation on their page of what sort of deal we're talking about.
Lokal - $45 for 3 Course Prefix (lol at prefix btw). Decent sized menu, appears to be for dinner only and not on Fri/Sat nights.
Again, looks like a $5-10 savings.
If going to mid-priced eateries and saving $5-10 bucks is your thing, go for it. There's nothing wrong with that.
I'll stick to the NYC one. It's also suffered from what it used to be, but there's still interesting stuff. The dinner cruise on the Hudson for $60 seems like a great date night or famous spots like the Russian Tea Room (the $45 lunch is actually a good deal, considering it averages around $70 individually).

Hoss, I've said this three times now, it doesn't mean a fucking thing that it's $33k/per. That puts JC as 36th/44th in the state, depending on whether or not you include special districts.
Your entire premise (JeRsEy CiTy PaYs MoRe ThAn AnYwHeRe ElSe) is bullshit.

I agree, but also, eggs are $5 per dozen in stores now, so not AS crazy as it feels.

Those are the newest figures as released by the state that google showed to me, as the post was made in 2022. You're WELCOME to post actual data from FY22 from the state that contradicts it. Go for it.
I even addressed the issue that if your statement of $33k per was real, it doesn't mean a fucking thing.
<you>
>about 33K dollars per pupil. That’s the highest in the State, among the highest (if not outright highest) in the nation.
<facts>
>Even your guess of "about 33k" would put it at 44th in the state (36th without the services ones).

Outta curiosity, why are we labeling this as "adult use". Is there a kids use, too?

You are a mix of both wrong and confused. While there's obviously tons of waste shipped off to every consultant in the books, that's not limited to JC or even NJ. It's obviously bullshit that places waste so much money, but again, that's a feature of everywhere and not limited to education spending, either.
Now as to where you're flat out wrong. All school spending here in NJ goes basically by size of district. Newark is #1 at $1,118,199,359.9. JC is 2, Union City 3, etc. When you have a large district, you have large spending.
Now on a per student basis, here's where JC falls on the lists of education spending. 168th. $27,225 per student. In fairness, we should eliminate the 8 special services ones, which bumps JC up to 160. Even your guess of "about 33k" would put it at 44th in the state (36th without the services ones).

Until we fund public schools differently than based on property taxes, the schools will be massively underfunded compared to the rest of the state. The state was supplying Jersey City with money to make up the difference. That flow is over. I would rather tax the fuck out of every single condo owner, luxury building developer, etc. etc. than underfund our schools

Because they were already higher than what JC was paying, so a "5% hike" wasn't necessary. Now JC is paying closer to the rates they are now.

Good, gtfo. And go elsewhere in NJ where the property taxes are even higher and you'll understand how low they were here in JC vs the rest of the state

Food poisoning can hit anywhere from 6 to 48+ hours after ingestion. It's very easy to blame the last thing you ate, but it might've also been yesterday's breakfast.

I get it. If I had a chance to legally get a million bucks without having to even work for it, I'd do it, too.
But damn. We all know who caused the accident.
