Reply to Amy DeGise must go, but how? | Jersey Journal editorial by rapmasternicky_z

To all those saying an online petition needs to be circulated: that’s not how recalls work. Online petitions for anything related to elections are not valid under NJ law. You would need the real, physical signatures of over 40000 registered Jersey City voters. Anyone who knows anything about the sort of logistics, people, money required to accomplish that knows that no one has those kinds of resources or networks right now.

Should an attempt be made? Yes, because the mere exercise itself will cause people to get involved, sort of “if you build it they will come”.

It’s a lot harder than it looks, if it were easy it would have already been done. However, it’s not impossible and it’s worth it even if such an effort were to fail.

Love the fact that in a plurality Latin county, the only two restaurants in North Hudson are “American” and the only remotely Latin one that’s on the list is a taco shop in Hoboken.

Love being “the most diverse place in America” only when it suits the powerful White people in charge of our local governments.

Miss me with this bougie nonsense.

Reply to Dozens of cars heading towards Liberty State Park on Jersey Ave. What's happening? by eteich1100

“Why won’t these annoying drivers just stay in their designated car lanes and follow the rules? They’re so loud and disruptive with their loud engines hogging up the roads. We need the cops to hand out more tickets, that will certainly solve the problem.”

If this sounds stupid now, it’s no different when the Boomers get on their shit at the neighborhood association and city council meetings to suck car culture cock.

Confidently wrong. It rained and snowed a lot, this is storm water from the Hudson Valley flowing out into the sea. Combined with the tides, that drives up the river level much more than a dip in atmospheric pressure. This isn’t a tropical storm, and that’s not how tropical storms cause storm surge anyway.

No, it cannot. But the Governor wants to throw red meat to the construction unions because he wants to run for President.

Hell no.

Mr. “progressive” Governor who cares so much about climate change when he wants to pander, but can’t seem to find the spine to say no to billions of dollars of spending roads for cars and fossil fuel plants that poison the air.

Yes, I’ve worked in the rail industry. It takes a lot of time and distance to stop the inertia of something as massive as a train. A signal error, or the driver being distracted/stupid/both, are much more likely than the operator not stopping if they had the chance.

You know nothing about what it takes to be an operator on a railroad. Operating a train isn’t like driving a car. They get extensive training, have stringent regulations, and are directly overseen by the federal govt.

I’ll believe it’s a signal problem or that the driver was being a fucking moron, because that’s what happens almost every time a car collides with the Light Rail.
