Uh Oh AC? From AMNY:
Hudson Yards West project with proposed casino moves closer to approval; will plans help give MTA a financial boost?
The bidding war for a NYC metro area casino license is heating up as the Hudson Yards West project received a green light from the City Planning Commission (CPC) on Wednesday, moving it one step closer to an approved reality.
Related Companies/Oxford Properties Group and Wynn Resorts, the developers and gaming gurus behind the project, said the commission “overwhelmingly voted” to support modifications required to revitalize the existing Western Railyards with a gaming resort, housing and green park space.
In its vote, the CPC approved modifying the application for zoning changes at the Western Rail Yards site, between 11th and 12th Avenues and 30th and 33rd Streets near the High Line, a public park.
The application is distinct from the more involved state approval process for gaming facility licenses.
“While this is a significant proposal before us this morning, the scope of what we’re actually voting on is much narrower,” CPC Chair Dan Garodnick said. “Our vote is on land use actions to allow for this site to compete with other regional applications for a gaming license, and in the alternative, to ensure a site plan that delivers for the public.”

With the X pick in the College Draft Fabius Jr, picks Fordham (Lincoln Center) for 4 years of life in the city.
Now I just have some finances I need to readjust.
When are the bathhouses opening up in Colts Neck?

Interesting the swing from positive to negative about the Slate truck project.
First off, those guys don’t even have a factory being built out yet, so a lot of hype up front, for a company that doesn’t even have a realistic timeline to production. Always skeptical when you see a product pushed so hard, pre-production, makes me think it’s a money grab.
Second though, I feel like it fills a niche. We need cheaper cars. Any new car is now in eyewatering territory, and that’s pre-tariff. We joke around about the 90s hatchback civics, but they were crazy solid, crazy reliable, crazy fuel efficient.
Alternatively, it would be positive for the US to roll back some of the issues that prohibit bringing some of the more interesting vehicles from Japan and other places (doesn’t even need to include China). Good example, Toyota Hilux Champ pickup, badass no-frills pickup that sells for under $15k. Hell, even a diesel option. Rugged/brutalist design looks better than a cybertruck.
Congrats Fab. I hope there is a 529 to make it easy on your purse.
I found out yesterday that one can only withdraw the college allocated COA (cost of attendance) amount from a 529 – and not actual costs if they are higher. Which sucks if you overfunded the 529 and don’t want to take he 10% penalty on amounts over the coa (for that college).
Lars Moravy the Tesla engineering VP said they will have their cheap Tesla rolling off the production lines this year. One has been spotted in the parking lot at the Fremont plant it looks to be a crossover design.
They have lots of room to pivot they can covert the existing production lines quickly and should not have supply chain issues. 75% of the parts are made in the US or Canada. The imported components come from Mexico. Tesla’s final assembly, engine, and battery production are all based in the United States. Telsa is even increasing it’s lithium production in the US.
I don’t think the other car companies in the electric car space can compete here, and now thanks to the Joe Biden tariffs the cheap Chinese electric cars won’t be sold here either.
There was zero chance Chinese EVs would be sold here, under any administration.
You can pull $10,000 penalty free from the 529 to pay off a student loan. Not much I know but better than nothing.
Grim only if you cannot afford to import one you mean. You can get one now you just need to be rich.

I don’t see how Tesla is going to leverage the Model 3 to make a less expensive Model 3.
It’s not like this thing is chock-full-of-frills. Yeah the finishes are nice, but it’s already wildly spartan.
Smaller motor, check. Single motor, check. Smaller battery, check. Cheaper wheels and tires, check. Remove the glass roof? Ok a few bucks there. Cheaper interior? Ok, sure. I still don’t see how they are cutting $20k off the top here. Even to the point of putting in a smaller screen, what are you realistically saving, outside of the drivetrain, you are at best talking about a few dollars here and there
The model is to make money on cheap cars?
I thought all those cheap cars from every manufacturer was a loss leader?
Rentlord
You can’t withdraw the cost of a campus parking permit from a 529 either.
Another thing about electrics…..There are costs…..Coworker of mine is driving a Rivian for the last few years…Biggest expense so far is tires. Had to change them several times already. Truck weighs 7,000 lbs without people and cargo. The tires wear out way too quickly. He found out the only way to get to 30,000 miles on a set of tires is to drive the truck in front wheel drive mode only. It costs about $2,000 a set to replace them…
Slate is just an anagram for Tesla.
Hehe.
Small dick and lead foot=increased tire wear.
Rear wheel drive + American driving skill= loads of accidents.
Hope that thing has some real good traction control on it.
If the brain has to be in the computer of the car so be it. RWD requires brains in slippery weather, best to let the expert piece of silicon do the job, while the dolt driving is busy texting.

Those pesants make an impressive car.
I can’t wait to see the ones our peasants make after having a liquid lunch and a visit to the vape shop.
Just going to point this out again about reducing electric car are really any car costs really comes down to supply chain as well as requirements to get the tax credit and the new battery tariffs. Tesla is making their batteries here. Sourcing of the all important Lithium and a local lithium refinery in Texas and for manufacturing the 4680 cell factory at Gigafactory Nevada.
What other car company is doing that here? As much as Tampon Tim and others on the left want this American car company to fail they aren’t going anywhere soon.
peasants.
Oopsy.
Slate is just an anagram for Tesla.
If that’s the case, brilliant
“Tim Walz is a weird radical liberal,” the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. “What could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys’ bathrooms?”
Turns out tampons make good hemostatic agents so can be very useful during school shootings while the PoPo hangs around outside waiting for your kid to bleed out.
Better than nothing when you ain’t got no combat gauze.
Hold 8:30, Did not know that.. Parking is a big deal.
I am going to Pittsburgh this weekend to check out housing with the kid. The rents average $1500/month or higher. But the COA for grad school housing is only about $1100. So even though we have an overfunded 529, can’t use it for the full housing expense. The kid will get paid about 40k/ yr but we want to withdraw from the 529 as much as possible.
Tesla has shared their strategy from day 1.
You start at the top, the most expensive, halo vehicles, and move downmarket. Never, ever the other way around.
In terms of a cheaper model 3, I could see this being sold as a loss leader to be able to drive greater economies of scale in battery manufacturing. Assembling batteries is trivial, making cells profitably is a scale game. If you are going to build a lithium refinery, you need to make sure you have enough downstream consumption.
I don’t think this plays out as cost savings across every part. However, given the battery is the single biggest cost item in an EV, 30-40%, every penny you bring that down absolutely translates. Win the battery war, win the EV war?
Bezos can make that car for 12 grand. It’s stripped with minimal range.
Charges 27k when the China car is only 10k.
Taxpayer not buying one subsidizes the one who buys it, socialist tax pitting one American vs the other, and putting the cash in his pocket.
And if it does weigh over 6k lbs, non purchasing tax payer gets raped even harder as dickrocket guy gets richer. Trump eliminated the competion for him to azzrape American citizens.
Fab: Congrats. All the best to your son. Don’t you have another son who sat for the FDNY test?
I was at the soccer fields all weekend and the supermarkets. Lots and lots moms around here driving large expensive SUVs. The dads not so much…
Here is what I see daily around here.
Mercedes-Benz GLE
BMW X1 (they tried to steal my neighbor’s one recently)
Lincoln Nautilus
Lincoln Aviator
Cadillac Escalade
Lexus TX
Chevy Tahoe
Rivian
Telsa Cybertruck
GMC Yukon
Probably a few other brands like that large Volvo.
Seriously none of these moms have any kind of need for a large gas guzzling SUV. Most have maybe one or two kids and they do not haul anything around other than some groceries, yet they drive tanks…
Bezos is just one of the investors, not sure it’s his idea, it’s certainly not his baby.
Though, I’m sure if they nail it, Amazon trucks are going to be make by Slate, and not Rivian anymore.
Toyota Hilux would be great. It’s terrorist tested. Just mount your machine gun on the back and go, great for those left lane campers that annoy you.
Alternatively, it would be positive for the US to roll back some of the issues that prohibit bringing some of the more interesting vehicles from Japan and other places (doesn’t even need to include China). Good example, Toyota Hilux Champ pickup, badass no-frills pickup that sells for under $15k.
Not sure why I never played the 179 game with my company, for sure I could easily swing justifying an F250 or a Tundra. Maybe it’s because every time I look at the sticker price, I want to vomit.

For sure we got our money’s worth out of the 6/7 seater Subaru Ascent. Heck even this weekend we drove around with 6 people. We don’t have buses here in haughty Wayne (buses are so… eww), so my other half drives a car full of girls to middle school in the morning.
Feel like it’s not so different from the Ford LTD Wagon my dad drove. Pretty sure there were at least 8 or 9 of us that would pile into that thing to get down to the shore on the weekend. 3 up front on the bench seat, 3 in the middle row, at least 2 or 3 kids in the flip-up seats in the way-back along with a cooler, umbrella, and all the other shit we’d lug down the hot sand.
Remember driving down to Disney in the early 80s in that thing, yeah we were all piled in there driving down as well. We’d caravan down with cousins, and every rest stop we’d switch up who was in what car. Friends of the family had a “conversion van” (what the serious f*ck were we thinking as a society) – so yeah, the trend for huge vehicles, that’s not a recent thing. We haven’t even revisited having a kitchenette and sink in the back of SUVs yet (though the Rivian pickup comes close).
Pretty sure that faux-wood paneled wagon was 40 feet long, and when we were rolling with an 8-track playing in the dash, that baby ruled the road.
Grim if you wanted a Tundra you should have bought it 4 years ago.
Probably sells used for what you would have paid for it new.
The latest ones are turds thanks to BirdBrainBiden types that squawk random crap expecting impossible things from vehicles with no physics or science backgrounds.
Impossible to get more juice out a car and keep it reliable and have a reasonable cost.

3 US Citizen Children, Including 4-Year-Old Cancer Patient, Deported To Honduras
Immigration officials deported three US citizen children — ages 2, 4, and 7 — along with their mothers late last week, according to multiple reports. The 4-year-old is battling stage four cancer, and they were deported without medication or access to their doctors. One of the mothers is also pregnant, reports said.
Expensive SUV was used to mow down those people in Vancouver. Kai-Ji Adam Lo was driving an Audi Q7.
Perhaps in the future with AI driving and controlling the vehicle these kind of incidents of terror and murder can be stopped automatically by the AI.
Temu just started adding an “import total” charge to it’s total at checkout. Lots of posts about it online showing supposed charges.
Starting next month it will be a 120% duty or $100 on all of the air freight packages that used to qualify for the de minimus exemption. That starts now and is supposed to increase next month again.
Naw, AI will just take your job.

1975s Oldsmobile 98… My friend inherited and Olds 98… We would load it up and head into the city. He would regularly scrap the sides of other cars and trucks parked in the corners while driving in the narrow streets in the city, usually while making a turn. He just kept on driving…

I rented an 8 seater ford expedition xl so we all could ride in the same car when we toured Yellowstone last summer. Plenty of room and everyone was seated comfortably.
Often I find the issue with the 3 seaters is the people in the 3rd row get cramped in there. Not so with the expedition. Plenty of room.
Plenty of power too and gas mileage honestly wasn’t too bad considering we basically had 8 adults (the kids are all teens or in their 20’s).
I thought for sure it had a V8 but when I popped the hood to check it had a twin turbo v6.

It’s not the volts that will kill you. It’s the amperage. I still don’t get this whole 20-45 minute wait to fill up. Seems like such a deterrent to EV use. I think the sweetspot is really going to be the part gas/part battery cars, even if they are twice as likely to break due to the two systems. Even my Mazda CX-90 has a small hybrid which juices the MPG from 24 to about 28 highway.
Speaking of fitting nine in a car, we regularly did it in the station weekend and we didn’t have those back facing death seats in the rear. The three smallest would lie down in the back. I shit you not. And we suffered this mode of transport all through the 70s and early 80s on many a trip from East Brunswick out to Lynbrook, which on holidays, could easily take three hours. Those in the rear would grimace in pain on the bumps on the Belt Parkway. Being the youngest of 7 kids, I pretty much lived in the back of the station wagon. Even came up with games to play back there involving large marbles and the seams in the carpeting. It was like playing Labyrinth, without the knobs for controls. I dreaded holidays to say the least.
Fabs, congrats on Fordham. My biological dad graduated from there. 60 years ago, it was where the rich dads sent their underperforming, hope they become business students that couldn’t get into the Ivies. I know that’s harsh, but it was the truth. I hope it’s better today. My dad could never outgrow his upbringing where he was given everything and maintained his asshole, selfish status to his grave. May your son do much better. If he wants to transfer, let him. You do know, Fordham is where Trump spent four years chasing women? I hope your kid kicks ass.
Our older son is back home after semester four. Looks like another semester, and the toughest one by far, with a straight A performance. Kid absolutely works his ass off. He started his Summer RBT gig today. Didn’t even take a day off. As half the kids are still finishing up in UF and studying for finals, he is already working his Summer job within his profession. One more year and then off to graduate school. Still has nearly 30K in the 529 that was funded with his money and Upromise contributions. Not bad for my little man. Only negative (or positive) is that he is pretty much living the 4B life. No dating, no drugs, little alcohol, not enough fun. Though, he is still playing club hockey and attends a ton of sporting events. He is moving in with three frat boys in one of those fancy apartment buildings near campus. I am willing to pay the extra money because he earned it through his performance, plus I haven’t had to pay for his college yet besides transportation costs, which are mostly picked up through credit card promotions. It will be interesting to see how he does in a building with hot tubs, a rooftop pool, a balcony, a gym and his own parking spot, plus three partying roommates. I fear the worst, but he always proves me wrong.
As someone who worked that function for AT&T, you can be assured that Anat Ashkenazi and Ruth Porat at minimum are looking for market based pricing for internal cost of capital discipline.

I hope they have attendants with training and rubber suits plugging in those cars and a massive fire suppression system for any kind of cascading thermal runaway event with the battery system.
Honda Odyssey has more space and cup holders in the third row, not to mention phone chargers than any SUV.
I almost forgot about the totally over the top $32B Wiz aquisition. I suspected that it was all because the founder of Wiz had some secret intel because of his career at Mossad.
Rent – Not everything is a conspiracy. The dude got rich over a decade ago selling his Cloud Security company to Microsoft for $300 million. After his noncompete expired he left Microsoft and did it again. Rinse and Repeat.
No conspiracy actually. Working with Israeli intelligence adds a lot of gravitas. I ‘m sure Wiz has a great product and customer base.. but that kind of money for a product is insane and you need more than a good product or customers.
$32B is vast – bigger than the GDP of Iceland, worth as much as Marriott Hotels, and enough to fund NASA for a year. It could give $100K to 320,000 people. In short: $32B is country-level money, not just startup money.
Rent- The valuation magic math of Silicon Valley….. they don’t use standard valuation methods like discounted cash flow analysis or comparable company analysis. Their factors are usually based upon an unobtainable potential and lots and lots of market hype.
Wiz has a good product. Will it translate well into the Google ecosystem? This might just be akin to Google buying Motorola or Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia. Both of those acquisitions are pretty much irrelevant today.
BYW Googles ARR for Cloud Hosting was $13 billion last year a fraction of AWS or Microsoft. It won’t take much for Microsoft and AWS to gimp the APIs used by Wiz and others. Without those APIs the product becomes obsolete.

The Trump administration has been moving at a breakneck speed, with a flurry of executive orders and actions in the first 100 days, including on energy, education, and diversity efforts.
The rapid pace has allowed Trump to make progress on his priorities, but has also led to economic and political peril, including uncertainty among trading partners and in financial markets.
His tariff policies have increased the odds of a US recession, economists say, a potentially devastating blow to credibility for a president who reclaimed the White House on the promise of taming price increases and delivering prosperity.
Already, a flurry of polls shows that voters perceive Trump to be falling short on his core campaign promise to strengthen the economy. A CNN poll released Sunday showed that just 39% of Americans approve of his economic management, the lowest of his two terms in the White House.
Meetings with constituents have emerged as flashpoints for grass-roots anger over Trump’s policies, so much so that House Republican leaders have advised their members not to schedule town halls in order to avoid spectacles such as the boos, shouts and insults which greeted GOP lawmaker Mike Lawler on Sunday.
3b my eldest is in Community College studying 3D manufacturing. Not everyone gets too be an astronaut. He sat the FDNY test and is still waiting for results. He got course credit for passing NJ Fire school. Lib he’s a lot like your kid without the straight A’s as he works hard and doesn’t drink or smoke. He just started a part time job at Costco, so he’s heading in the right direction.
This is middle daughter who is the super smart one. Nailed a 5 in AP English. She’ll be in the City at Lincoln center so will not be really doing the Bronx party scene. Again another clean living kid that doesn’t smoke or drink.
My youngest is the one I have to worry about. Started talking about Alabama. That’s scary.
Juice 12:58 – Precisely the point.
There is more to this corporate story than we know – like with a lot of other M&As.
And it’s not like Google does not know that $32B is a lot. Of course they do.. and increased the bid from $24B just a year ago.
Like the story of Autonomy’s founder Mike Lynch.
Dude sold his company to HP for $12B.
A year later, HP under new CEO says it is fraud and writes off $8B.
The fraud trial goes on for 10 years with UK extradition rules and all..
Dude finally gets extradited and goes to court in California – where the judge says it’s not his fault.
Dude gets on a yacht with his lawyers and (also) daughter to celebrate his win… and anchors the yact in a crowded Sicilian waters (with other yacts).
A freak storm in the middle of the night drowns his yacht.. but leaves every other boat in the vicinity in tact.
The dude’s CFO is biking in some mountains and gets run over by a car in an “accident”.

Great to see everyone’s kids thriving. Not surprised, but gratifying nonetheless.
Gluteus,
Your kids sound great. Do them a favor and don’t let them grow up to be Gooners.
Watch out for mercury.
For really good poke, find an authentic Hawaiian joint. If it has more than seaweed, nuts, onions, green onions, tuna, plus soy sauce, sesame oil, then it’s not the real thing. Over white rice is fine. Buy sushi grade tuna from Restaurant Depot and make it yourself. Super easy. Ten pound Saku block is $108. That’s enough for 30 to 40 bowls. Though you’ll need a band saw to cut the frozen block into pound sections so you don’t have to use it all at once. This is the AAA filet mignon of tuna. Tuna is parasitic-free btw. Any other fish, and you are risking tapeworm and other gross parasites if eaten raw or even acid cooked as when ceviched.
1:34,
More importantly why don’t you come out of the closet. You said “Twink”. That is a very inside the Gay World word. Is used as” South Carolina Senator’s aides are all twinks”
Most people in here would have to look up the word. Just come out. I know you are 70+. But you can still get a prostate massager that those 2 jobs for you.

It’s okay to come out of the closet.
My friend Jill who is 74 transitioned in her 40s and even has grandkids. She says she has never been happier because of her transition.
The problem with hyper fast charging and wickedly high discharge in batteries is that the chemistry becomes indistinguishable from an explosive. Doesn’t take much to trigger thermal runaway, high heat, gas generation. Kaboom.

Followed by a searing explosion from Albany, NY to Union Beach, NJ.
Lib – re: “Tuna is parasitic-free btw.”
Not on your life. The worms infect everything in the ocean including dolphins and whales.
Why do you think they freeze it and store it at -31°F? Yes it keeps longer. It’s to also ensure parasite inactivation.
The only Tuna you are going to get that hasn’t been frozen for a long time is if you cast your reel off a boat or beach yourself and catch one or buy one fresh from a local fisherman.
Freezing is also the reason why we don’t need to take worm pills like Ivermectin in this country.
Sounds like my last physical…….

None has had a major component break. Not one. Just routine maintenance. Did have to do the struts, tie rods and ends on the 9 last year.
Fab: Not everyone gets to be an astronaut or wants to be. What is important is that your kids find the way that works for them. I know quite a few young people who have went the FDNY route, some college grads, and some not. They are all happy with their choice.
Congrats to both of your children as they move forward in life.
I hope everyone has stocked up on things you use from China. Our warehouses are about to get emptied in a few weeks and for lots of items there is no alternative supplier

Not only is this Christmas season going to be chaotic, but 2026 could be as well. Buyers have to put in their orders for toys and holiday merchandise by end of June or July for 2026 Christmas.

I wonder if we’re going to see Mike Rowe enter politics in a bigger way:

Yeah, this was from the CPAC 2025 convention, but I think Rowe speaks the truth..
Looking at the coming AI jobs apocalypse, we better be listening to Rowe, it’s not bad advice. When I think of connecting with people across America, Rowe is who comes to mind as someone who has done it the best. Guy is the Bill Nye of labor economics.
Speaking of the apocalypse, management consulting will die a quick death.

Hey Mike Rowe
Bring unions back. Just like the one the guy who was interviewing you had. Pensions and job security you will fill those positions.
I’ll gladly give you a dollar tomorrow for a hamburger today.

Dropped some of the kids clothes off at Goodwill in Pequannock on Saturday.
Had the kids with me, figured we could go inside and have a peek around, who knows. Parking lot was crazy full, but we found a spot after dropping off some bags.
Holy crap was that place packed. The line to checkout stretched halfway into the store.
Now, I have no benchmark at all for how crazy that place is on any other normal Saturday, but it shocked the hell out of me. We stopped in Target up the highway mid-day on Sunday and for sure there were less people in Target.
Somebody should be publishing a weekly analysis of satellite footage of second hand store parking lots.
For sale: Salvage title F16.
70M new. All options including advanced radar and missile tracking.
Some water damage from falling off an aircraft carrier.
1M or best offer.
6:05 deservingly so
6:31 GenZ loves thrifting.
Grim: I have heard that Goodwill can be quite expensive, equal to and sometimes more then prices in retail stores like Target and Kohls
Watch for the blank billboards.
Goodwill is pricey. The independent thrift stores run by a local church or animal shelter have the best prices. There’s a great thrift store in Essex fells run by a church. Had high end clothes for Pennie’s of what they cost new. We would do the kids clothes shopping there when they were little and outgrowing their clothes each season.
Clothing drop off bins by us had a remote camera with a solar panel for power to watch for dumpster diving. Did not take them too long to steal the camera. When I used to drop off clothes in Jersey City women would stand by the bins and ask for the clothing before I could put it in the bin. Some kind of clothing racket they had going, they were there literally all day on the weekends.
Damn woman. WTF

Lol kid who pranked Sanders went to our school. Jets def ensice coordinator. When they were drafting a few years back, he leaked the draft pick to all his friends so they could cash in on bets online. Daddy needs to put a password on his work laptop.
I don’t understand why they don’t take kids toys. They used to a while back, but there may have been a hazard of some sort, but all donation places have stopped accepting the one thing that would really help us fight China – toys recycling.
Now that I say it, maybe there is a business opportunity here!
So the point of enforcing English speaking drivers?
https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15744222/trump-executive-order-demands-truck-drivers-speak-english
Is this because trucking is going to collapse and they don’t want immigrants to keep their jobs?
That simple?
I mean, this could have easily been done in the first term, or even earlier this year.
Why now?
Lib, no offense taken. I’m grateful they are who they are at this point in their life.
Up in this part of Bergen you get a lot of Straight A trainwrecks. Kids with access to money and parents that will enable them. From the kid that for their 18th birthday, got a b00b job and off the waitlist for UMiami, to the kid that will be lucky to graduate from the rehab center they are currently checked into on the other side of the country.
The parents are worse with their own booze and pills issues. One mom trying to be the cool mom for her kid threw a kegger party at her house. One kid passed out and was assaulted. Instead of calling 911, she called her sister, a lawyer who told her to get the kid out of the house and off the property. The kids friends made the call from the next street. Police showed up, but could not get access to the house. It was one of those where the High School principal sent out a “you have 48hrs to delete the photos off your phone if you have them.”
So AI takes away massive amounts of jobs, so all the young people should rush into the trades, but since AI eliminated so many white collar/ non-trade jobs no one has any money to hire plumbers, carpenters, electricians, became so many other jobs have been eliminated. Just saying.
“high end clothes for Pennie’s of what they cost new”
Back in the day we did a lot of clothes shopping for the kids off the Lord and Taylor clearance racks in Short Hills Mall. You have to love the fact that the rich don’t shop clearance.
8:06, how is this legal?
And does that mean amazon’s EV automated trucks should now be able to “speak” in English?
If not, do machines have more rights than humans?
So many questions!
Grim, I smell desperation here. Fascists need to keep finding new things to divide and “conquer”.
Nordstrom Rack is a good spot, but can be hit or miss, and also Marshalls.
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
