That would probably result in the whole agreement being ignored, and would likely result in court cases where Fifa wins a settlement (paid for by tax dollars) if the state doesn’t uphold a contract. Also reputational damage to the state that contracts aren’t honored. IMO this is the only option that doesn’t result in the tax payers to foot the bill, so i commend her on pushing back on Fifa over this.
FTA, the quote from the governor:
“Our administration inherited an agreement where Fifa is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. Zero. That leaves New Jersey Transit with a $48m to safely get 40,000 fans to and from every game. At the same time, Fifa is making $11bn off of this World Cup, and charging fans up to $10,000 for a single ticket for the final. I won’t stick New Jersey commuters for that tab for years to come, that’s not fair. So here’s the bottom line: Fifa should pay for the rides, but if they don’t I’m not going to let New Jersey commuters get taken for one.”
I guess I’m just too familiar with the shape of Virginia? The hole where West Virginia broke off gives it away too.
Didn’t they also have to delay an episode last season because the whole plot was an assassination on the president, which was due to air like a few days after Trump got shot in the ear while campaigning.
Kentucky looks like fried chicken, that’s how I always remember it
Kinda insane timing with the bad AI picture of Trump as Jesus IRL & Homelander / Jesus moment in the show. South Park doesn’t even have that quick turn around time.
I don’t see how it could federate unless the other lemmy instances are on I2P also. This seems more like an isolated/standalone idea for an instance
IMO, you can only be considered a fan if you have one or more blades that are angled in such a way so that they push air in one direction to create a current of air for cooling or ventilation.
Still wish we got Hunter Schafer cast as Zelda.
On the bright side, they’re unlikely to see a penny from it, and have incurred lawyer costs and time.
In terms of command line editors, vim is extremely powerful and relatively easy to get started with, once you know how to get into insert mode and then save/quit. nano/pico are easier to learn but less powerful, and emacs is probably more powerful than vim, and more daunting to learn. Also, vim is installed on almost all systems, so there’s not really any extra work to get started using it.
They don’t even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that’s the final humiliation.
Also picked because he will never sign off on invoking the 25th amendment and will not faithfully oversee the counting of electors in 2029
Just like Michael Jordan said: “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”
that’s why I’m so fucking confused
Another scam stations run is a “cash price.”
FWIW, if you use a debit card and run it as debit (bypassing Visa or Mastarcard or whatever) then you will get the cash price and don’t need to bring physical money. I’m sure some of the scam is to advertise lower prices when most people will use credit, but they’re also charged a 3% fee from the credit card companies, and they’re not going to eat that cost, so it gets passed to the consumer.
How does the car wash price work, why is it cheaper than without? Is the implication that the car wash is a separate charge all together? If so, pretty disingenuous to waste so much space with lower prices than to say "Car wash $20 & save 20¢ per gallon
i could see a situation where a host that only speaks IPv4 would need to add my IP to an allow list, and therefore I would need to check what IPv4 address I appear as, even though I am running IPv6.
My thoughts exactly, can’t weigh an opinion on the quality unless I see it for myself.
