Why are NJ and other commuters paying for NY trains?? Congestion pricing... How does this make sense?

It’s worse than just saying we have to pay for their train system. At this point, none of the revenue will be given to PATH or NJ Transit, which will be forced to handle more riders. (The only way to argue against that fact would be to say people who drive into nyc will simply not go into the city anymore; cut down on commuters who work in NYC, and we all know that’s not the intent.) So like most tax and spend solutions, the pols will turn a blind eye, then express shock when the “unforeseen” consequences all come to fruition. Massive overcrowding on NJT, delays at NYPenn unlike ever seen before, more calls for a new tunnel, etc etc.

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
