From 42 Freeway:
New Jersey Liquor License Overhaul Signed. Much More To It Than The Press Release
So it’s clear that New Jersey lawmakers are not happy that over 1,500 full alcohol plenary licenses are sitting unused for years, which can be a commercial impact to the townships who would rather see restaurants developed with the licenses.
As I interpret the legislation, an unused full liquor license is allowed to be “inactive” for 2 years, which can be extended to a third by the municipality. Before the final inactive license expiration, the license must be utilized or sold.
For the existing inactive licenses, many of which have been inactive for decades…there are provisions in the new legislation to move them through the process towards expiration. Based on how long a license in inactive, it could have from 1 to 4 years to start utilizing or sell.
If a plenary licenses move to full expired status the license holder loses the license, and the municipality then can offer the license up to sale, typically in a “best price” auction.
…
I also wonder if the requirements of ”use it or lose it” starts bringing down the prices for full liquor licenses in New Jersey, as owners sitting on plenary licenses are effectively forced to sell the license or utilize in a business, in just the next few years.
…
As an example, regarding the traditional plenary (full alcohol) licenses… This new law could have an immediate impact in towns like Harrison Township, where one business (Madison Marquette) has been sitting on FOUR plenary licenses for over 10 years… and the new legislation basically forces a “use it or lose it” set of requirements!
The bigger story here is the licenses, not the craft alcohol changes.
Opening up more licenses for small businesses and new restaurants in downtowns should be a top priority here. The mall licenses provisions reduce some pressure on licenses in mall-heavy towns, and town-to-town regime should see more licenses made available in certain parts of the state. The caps on pocketing are a great way to get people off their asses here. In the short-term, downward pressure on license prices.
For the craft producers, many of us have already operated, to some extent, under the provisions that were finally formalized. Not necessarily new provisions here, just codifying what the intent of the original law was. All this really did was get the ABC out of the subjective rule making process.

So much for women supporting women. Did she not think of the potential downside and optics? Woman CEO of a baby clothing company refuses to let mom who adopted premature baby in NICU to work remotely.
What a vile thing to do.
And she would never be in Twice.

So bizarre that NJ let licenses be dormant for decades. You’d think the politicians would want them active for job creation and tax revenue.
Alcohol consumption is up.
Maga loves cheap lite piss and women drinking more wine.
VSG
What’s your favorite box of wine? Or do you prefer Mad dog 2020 or Thunderbird?
Is it wrong that my wife and I like the BYOB places, where we save $20 per meal on alcohol?
Is Colt 45 and Olde English still around?
Alcohol consumption is up.
Multiple wars
Runaway inflation
Breached borders
Rampant Crime
Resentment and Indignation
Weaponized government agencies
Who wouldn’t want to drink with this administration in charge. The Vegetable’s regime makes Pottersville look like Pleasantville compared to the shape this country is in right now.
Is it wrong that neither my wife and I have no interest in alcohol?
Anyway, NJ is bizzare in how it tries to shape society via force, and ends up actually creating vested interests benefitting from their regulations. Like Indian-owned gas station owners maintaining their racket and advantageous access to cheap labor via self service rules allegedly for public safety, but mostly keeping out more efficient and convenient new entrants. Or liquor license restrictions that probably originally were promoted on social concern reasons, but now again are hoarded to benefit the few that have them. Or a county that makes retail commerce illegal on Sundays, inspired by some religious motive, that’s again turned into something else, like a defense against more efficient 7-day competitors.
What a bunch of corrupt hypocrites running NJ.
Wayfair is laying off another 1650 employees, this is in addition to layoffs last year.
No One: Paramus some years ago held a referendum on allowing Sunday shopping, and residents voted overwhelmingly to keep stores closed on Sunday. It may have been for religious reasons in the past, but now it’s for one day of peace and quiet with no traffic.
“Hope you enjoy your sheriff’s sale profit, now you have a reason to renovate it before you put it up for sale…Andrea Alarcon, 42, is believed to have fatally shot her husband, Ruben Alarcon, 51, and their two juvenile daughters in their home at 1329 Lincrest Terrace in Union…”
He’ll still enjoy the profit, because he’s one of the GOOD liberals, you know.
Remember, as Murphy tried to decelerate these foreclosures the response here was essentially “won’t affect me, a lot of grey areas”.
Yeah, a lot of grey [matter] in that house, all over the walls…

3b,
The majority voted to apply government force to shut down freedom of commerce. Same general principle as the other laws NJ tends to pass.
You’re allowed to drive to the Garden State Plaza to watch a movie, or go to the nearby country club and play golf, but a busy family is only allowed to shop at the Mall’s Macy’s on Saturday, tough luck if that conflicts with your schedule – just kill more polar bears driving to the Short Hills mall!
No One: Not disagreeing , just pointing out the residents did not want it, although with the hundreds of new residents that will be moving in to all the new apartments being built in Paramus there may be a push to revisit the Sunday no shopping issues. In the meantime, it’s Short Hills, Wayne, or Palisades mall in Rockland Co if people in Bergen want to shop on Sunday.
To be clear, it is never a proud or happy day when someone losses a job. That said, it corporate America there is at least 10 dead wood, so these measures are addition by subtraction.

The cuts amount to roughly 2,350 jobs, or about 3.5 percent of the company’s overall work force, which includes employees at the subsidiaries Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury. The layoffs will be achieved by eliminating some roles and consolidating teams, according to memos seen by The New York Times
The Blue Law in Bergen County is an acknowledgment of overwhelming wealth and prestige. Residents use that day to reflect on their privileged life – envied by the more common muppets in other sectors. Yes, you’re free to drive through the parish on Sunday with little traffic and admire the unicorns nestled on the roadside, noshing on herbage and greenery. No preapproval is required. Dine at one of the fine facilities dotted throughout the shire as you yearn to one day, be a homeowner in this exclusive province.

I think these white and black “ farmhouse “ style houses that are popping up all over Bergen Co may be even uglier than the faux brick/ stucco , siding on the sides Mc Mansions. And, many of them on busy streets where backing out of your driveway is perilous.
Fast: It would not be a visit without stopping to admire the majestic and historic Hackensack River, fondly referred to as the mighty Hack.
1987 Condo,
That house is sold. Or, the sellers are just deciding the winner and keeping two additional offers as backups. It goes like this: List the house, let the house guides show it within the next 24 hours, go to lunch, come back and go through the offers.
I think these white and black “ farmhouse “ style houses that are popping up all over Bergen Co may be even uglier…
Agree. I don’t get it either. It goes with everything else that passes off as acceptable in today’s society; along with shitty music, shitty food, shitty clothes, shitty services, shitty attitudes, shitty processes and so on.
Gary, I’m no “house guide”, but perhaps they will wait till the open house and see what kind of bidding war results?

Nikki Haley DID cheat on husband Michael – had affairs with her comms consultant and a MARRIED South Carolina lobbyist before she became governor, sworn affidavits and new witnesses claim
Nikki Haley, 51, denied claims she cheated on her husband Michael before she became South Carolina governor in 2010 saying she was ‘100% faithful’
Now, multiple GOP insiders tell DailyMail that they were intimately aware of Haley’s infidelity at the time, saying: ‘It was totally out in the open’
Communications consultant Will Folks, 49, and lobbyist Larry Marchant, 61, both signed affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a sexual relationship with Haley
Fast: I don’t get it, the white is bland and blinding at the same time, and so many on busy streets, and or small 50×100 lots, and the windows seem to be just placed anywhere, no thought, just windows haphazardly placed.
When the cat’s away…
The former South Carolina governor frequently cites her husband as the reason for her presidential bid and her most recent campaign ad opens with photographs of Michael’s 2013 homecoming from his first deployment to Afghanistan with the National Guard

THEIR job was not in core search, so ENTIRE department was eliminated
yikes..
Chgo: That was an awful way to find out your job had been eliminated.
Very: That is a big assumption on your part. I am sure some will, but for others it may not be as easy. And, for those that do land positions they may in many cases be for less salary/ bonus.
I hope Republicans will join with me and vow never to vote for any candidate who ever cheated on his or her respective spouse.
(Hilarious, I’m sure this Haley attack was out of the Trump camp. What’s good for the gander is not good for the goose.

I got this in my email today:
“Real estate values were largely crushed by record-breaking interest rate hikes. For arguably the first time since 2008, even blue-chip real estate assets are available at what we believe to be a discount. That’s why we plan to aggressively expand our multi-billion dollar private real estate portfolio, aiming to invest hundreds of millions of dollars over the coming year.”
How do people write this with a straight face, and how do people open up their checkbooks in response to sht 30K ft copy like this?
Fundrise is the company. There are a lot of disillusioned investors opening up their fundrise accounts 1-3 years later with little to no appreciation. I haven’t read much into it, but seems like unseasoned operators fleecing new investors.
Can you forward it to Pumps?

Phoenix – Somehwat apropo, my wife read a Harvard Business Review book on leadership and women in the workplace. The book claims, referencing multiple studies, that women in supervisory and managerial roles are overly critical and harsh toward the women whom they supervise/manage, but not so to their male counterparts. Studies showed no similar bias when sexes were reversed (male manger, male employee).

Job market is absolute wreck for educated class. So much that I found out today on management meeting out that our bank did not put any Analyst level (freshers, 2 years exp) on promotion list. They said it was oversight..pure BS. No talk of making it right either. They are f-ing these kids, hoping to keep them low paid in shite market. Hard to believe the corp world right now.

Providers told investigators that they had concerns about the practices, including sending non-eligible persons to military treatment facilities, but feared that if they didn’t provide referrals to high-ranking administration officials, their careers would be affected.
“We feared mostly, you know, for evaluations, for follow‑on assignments, for credibility as a professional in our own branches and specialties,” a staff member told the IG.
As a result of the practice, the Pentagon paid for medical care for those non‑DoD beneficiaries, according to the report.
left: Red have Q’Pac tomorrow night. Probably not the most critical, but certainly the most challenging match the rest of the way. Shocked at how messed up the ECAC standing are, but I guess the intersession caused a big disparity in games played among the teams. I think within a couple of weeks it will sort out, but there is actually quite a bit of parity. I assume that the ECAC is super weak this season. If the conference champion is Q’Pac, they might be the only Frozen Four invitee.
