“At least NJ is winning at something”
Wasn’t it Trump who said you would be winning so much that you would get tired of winning? Don’t worry, everything will be fine so long as you keep sending your kids to college in New England and make sure you give them a credit card for “emergencies”. I see an awful lot of emergencies at liquor stores Thursday-Saturday during the school year.

“I see an awful lot of emergencies at liquor stores Thursday-Saturday during the school year.”
Back in prehistoric times my university ID was uniquely also a “UniversityCard” through which on campus expenses could be paid. The drinking age was 18, and the university dining hall served ‘dimies’ which were tiny cups of beer for a dime.
More than once on receiving my statement my mother commented on how much I ‘ate’ on Fridays, especially for being on a meal plan.
