And they were cheering after 9/11, right?

No, you are wrong. My neighbor plus other I know told me this not now but when it happened. There is a difference between some one now giving a story or someone who mentioned this on or a few days after 9/11. They are first persons witnesses to an event. The fact remains different people are calling in various radio shows saying the same thing. I think Trump exaggerated the numbers but not the fact. The blind sheik's followers are in JC and their mosque is still in Journal Square. So why wouldn't they celebrate?

Your first person reports are always second hand. Even Trump has backed away from the lie, and yet you still repeat it. I guess that say all that need be said.

For the record, a moderator/administrater changed the thread title.

My original thread was titled:

"Gentrifiers are the real world villains featured in the all-new ?Ms. Marvel? from Jersey City"

Shame on the moderation on this place.

I had a severe argument with the Pakistanis who own the store on Grace street & Summit ave. as they were elated with what was happening when I walked in. I asked them what was so funny ?
They didn't answer but I reacted anyway and the cops came. His brother got in my face, and I pushed him on to some shelves and every thing came down. Cops showed up and they denied every thing. America a great country, they looked like they were ready to cry. Phonies.

They were watching it on TV, and laughing when I walked in.

15% of the restaurant's sales plus 50% of the pretax profit remaining. In other words, Chick-Fil-A takes 65% of your profit.

That's some really shitty math, but the article is interesting.

Considering you need $5,000 to get started, 65% is reasonable.

The first thing a developer does when the abatement has expired, he goes to tax court, file an appeal based on the fact they are at 100% and other properties are not. So then JC floats bonds to pay their winning tax appeals. The small homeowner is being hurt with the winning tax appeals by developers and their tax abatements.

Voters also opposed by 56 percent to 33 percent any deal in which the gas tax is increased in exchange for a reduction in the state's tax on estates worth at least $675,000.

"Organic" is a meaningless buzz word. About the only thing it means is you will be paying a lot more.

It is far from a buzz word, it has very strict standards to be certified as organic at least in the US (usda). Veggies/fruits must be grown on soils not containing the banned chemicals for at least 3 years. Animals has also strict food and movement requirements, cows/beef for example can only be usda organic if previous 2 generations are raised as organic, on top of the current one that is being certified. Not to mention no gmo.

You are what you eat, and it makes a big difference over time. In other countries like china organic doesnt mean as much because the standard is very loose and it's a buzzword. Not in the US.

Sorry, the term "organic" is largely a buzz word in the U.S.

"Many consumers who "fork over a little more" believe that the foods themselves are more nutritious, safer, and tastier. But the USDA proposal itself noted that, "No distinctions should be made between organically and non-organically produced products in terms of quality, appearance, or safety." In other words, no claim should be made that the foods themselves are better?or even different!"

Also, I challenge you to find any chains which serve "organic" meat.

Like I said, people are going to "healthy" Chipolte and getting E. coli, while I've never heard of this happening at a Chik Fil A.

The dead and non-existed people did vote in Hoboken.

How many dead people are still on the voter's list? Someone mentioned to me that the late Glen Cunningham is still on the voter's list. I don't know if that is true but I always make sure I contact the board of election when a family member dies, I would not want them to vote again. Also, Cubans who were not citizens also voted by saying they were Puerto Ricans who are recognized as American citizens. Hoboken know to how to bend the rules.

This may be the first JC bar with no TVs, perhaps a new day has dawned. Any decent beer choices, or is it mostly cocktails and wine?

Disappointed with the "new' ACME. Very minor changes and updates from A&P. Meat still expires in one or two days. Produce still below average. Overall, no significant changes at all. Layout remained exactly the same. I'm hoping that the management will be better, but that remains to be seen.

I voted in favor of the referendum to move the elections, but feel that with such a low turnout, and a relatively close vote, I'm not comfortable with this happening. Yes, people can and should show up to vote (I've never missed an election since I turned 18 in 1979!) so they don't deserve to have their apathy catered to, but it is hardly a mandate.

I was asked for my drivers license when I voted this morning. Luckily, I had it with me. Even though it's illegal to request ID, play it safe and make sure to have it on you when you vote. My polling station is in Ward E, but who knows what is happening elsewhere.

Maybe you looked like you were going to vote Republican?

Seriously though, they weren't asking at GVV this morning that I noticed, but I can tell you from history, it would make things a lot quicker if they did ask for ID, the poll workers seem to have trouble with the alphabet even when you spell your last name for them.

In all the years I have lived and voted here, I have NEVER been mailed a sample ballot....

Seriously? Both DH and I each receive one before every single election.

Yes, seriously, NEVER. And I haven't received one for this election either.

Actually, it's very serious - speaks to the inability of City and County Government (or is it unwillingness...?) to oversee a fair and unbiased electoral process. One day, in my wildest dreams the Feds will investigate and the whole mess will be exposed for what it is.

Do you have the proper address on file? Do you live in an apartment building in which others might be getting your mail?

Annoyingly, I still have election ballots coming for people that haven't lived in my house for years.

My voter registration card has all the correct details for me, including my mailing address. I've NEVER received a sample ballot. The idea that somehow every election my sample ballot is delivered to someone else isn't believable - I receive ALL my other mail, and I've lived in the same small, 4-family building the entire time.

It reminds of when I first registered to vote in Jersey City, shortly after moving here. I applied about 6 weeks before the election, yet my voter registration card didn't arrive until about 3 weeks AFTER the election....

I wish I could believe it was plain, simple incompetence. Unfortunately, I can't. I really do hope the Feds take a long, hard look one day....
