We all know car insurance in NJ sucks massively. I just got my Geico rates increased yet again with no reason wahtsoever. I also just found out that these assholes helped funding trump and project 2025. Goods unite us only has progressive sort of listed as an alternative option but even Geico shows up blue unless you start clicking around. Please help.

We've been chattering about them a lot this week and finally we'll get the chance to learn more about them. The Democratic gubernatorial candidates for Governor will debate tonight at 7PM.

The Republicans candidates will debate on Tuesday, 2/4.

Planning to buy a multi-family property to rent out all units. How is the renting situation? Can you easily rent them out? Any concerns about crimes? Or shortage of demands before I go into it? I've lived in south jersey for about 10 years but not really familiar with Paterson. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

cozy bookstore/cafes with COMFORTABLE armchairs, sofas, and the like to seat and read away a morning or afternoon? bonus if they also provide snacks and drinks too.

alot of places have hard chairs, or little seating or too bright/loud. Ideally in Central Jersey but can be North or as far south as Burlington County.

What are people's experinces with going from Central NJ to Queens/Brooklyn during peak hours?

Which would you do?

NJ Turnpike, Holland Tunnel, Congestion then come back via Holland Tunnel, NJ Turnpike

or

GSP, Outerbridge, Verrazano then come back via Verrazano, Outerbridge, GSP

This morning, my dad was loading up the car to drop off my sister to her college campus, and he accidentally left the keys inside. I grew up in this neighborhood, and it's hard to believe how much it's declined. If you see a black Camry anywhere, please reach out! It's my mom's only car, and I gave it to her as a gift 5 years ago when I moved out. We are devastated beyond words, any information or sightings would help tremendously.

Most Americans don't realize that Elon Musk has seized unprecedented control of the federal government through the Treasury Department. If this is news to you, here and here and here as well as at New York Times, Fox News, AP News, NY mag, Politico . While the media is not calling enough attention to this, and isn't calling it a coup, Musk now has direct access to control Social Security payments, Medicare disbursements, and sensitive personal data of millions of Americans.

This isn't abstract politics - this is about people's survival money. We need to get this information to regular Americans in a way they'll understand.

We need a national day out.

• We can create simple, clear downloadable flyers explaining what's happening (draft below)
• Coordinate masses of people to distribute these in their communities
• Target high-traffic areas: Laundromats, grocery stores, bus stops, community centers
• Focus on places where people actually gather, not just online

We need boots on the ground sharing facts with our neighbors. We can ask people to hand out fliers at laundromats. supermakets, public transit, etc. We need the average person to understand the risk here. How can we organize this? Does anyone have resources?

🚨 YOUR MONEY & SAFETY AT RISK 🚨

ELON MUSK NOW ILLEGALLY CONTROLS:

• Your Social Security checks
• Your Medicare payments
• Your tax refunds

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

• Not elected by anyone
• No government experience
• Can freeze YOUR money anytime
• He is ignoring the US Constitution

YOUR PRIVATE INFO IN HIS HANDS:

• Social Security numbers
• Home addresses
• Medical records

NO WARNING. NO VOTE. NO OVERSIGHT.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THIS IS NOT DEMOCRATIC. THIS AFFECTS YOUR FAMILY TODAY.

My tax return keeps getting denied because they say i need a 1095-A which I’ve never needed before. I have gotten a 1095-B but thats it.

Got to see a lot of seals today at Sandy Hook down across the the old military officers housing. I wish I had a better camera. It was pretty cool

Hey everyone, my cousin asked me to post this on Reddit:

“Hi! I’ve been visiting my family on Washington ave in Montclair from out of town, and I might stay at their place for a few months. But recently I’ve noticed that parking seems a bit tricky. Do they ticket often for street parking? Are there certain times or areas that are better for parking? I work from home so I’m nervous to leave my car more than one day since it says “no parking during school hours 8am-4pm m-f” Also, would you say it’s generally safe to park overnight? Just trying to get a feel for the area. Thanks!”

Hi,

I’ve been searching for a reliable source for miscellaneous errand running: delivering things, picking things up, shopping for things in store, coordinating with vendors when I’m not home, etc. Nothing large (not looking for a moving service or anything like that), but the person would need a car.

In NYC, I’d normally use Taskrabbit or similar service for requests along these lines. But last I checked, it wasn’t available in NJ.

Most of the requests would occur in Bergen county, with dropoffs or pickups up to an hour away by car.

The requests are not frequent enough for me to hire someone full-time, so I was hoping I could find an owner-operator of a concierge style service, or an agency, whether they charge per occurrence or monthly.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you!

Looking for somewhere fun we can spend the day for my son’s 3rd birthday since it’s on a weekend this year. It’s way too cold to be outside so somewhere inside preferably! TIA!

I could go out and buy 50 rifles with no need to register them with the state or town, but god forbid I don’t register little fifi every single fucking year with the town

Serious question from a New Yorker not trying to troll. When I learned to drive 30 years ago I was obviously told the left lane is the passing lane. I was once camping in the left lane in NJ as a teenager and the driver with me reprimanded me and told me how serious NJ drivers are about this rule and I noticed wow they really are pretty good about this, definitely better than NY.

Left lane driving is one of my biggest pet peaves and I've always credited NJ as being better than NY in this regard. However in recent years I feel like something flipped and every NJ driver I run into is left lane driving. And even worse they try not to even let u pass them on the right and race you to stay in front in the lane.

Did this rule cease to be taught or cared about in NJ? I mean NY sucks but I think you guys are worse now. Really curious what happened or if this whole thing is in my head and I'm just nuts.

Anybody know of any good trail running clubs in Northern NJ? Specifically Morris County or up near Oakland/ NY border.

Hey 👋🏻 if anyone could offer options where they’ve personally had good experiences with long curly hair, especially around Middlesex, I’d really appreciate it.

Central NJ - Hi all, we have all seen the many posts about businesses not to support during this time. However, as someone who wants to protest with their wallet, are there resources on businesses TO support and shop from for day-day items? As well as tips on how to make the most impact? I know for groceries I can shop local farmers markets and shop small but what about larger items I’d normally purchase from Costco? I know Costco is not as controversial and I don’t mind shopping there but I prefer to shop smaller if possible.

Just wondering if there’s a guide or something as this can all be overwhelming. Thank you.

Been seeing this on Bluesky but haven’t seen a specific time mentioned. Anyone else going & when?

I like not having to pump my own gas ⛽️

I live in Fair Lawn, and for like a week I've been hearing some dog howling at really random times, and quite loudly too, so much that my dog was freaking out and family were independently asking me what was going on.

It's like, sometimes really late at night and it's just howling and howling and howling and then this morning it was going for a bit.

Anyone hearing this too? Am I losing it? And if it's someone's dog, who would let their dog howl sooo loudly for so long and at such irregular times?

It doesn't really bother me too much but it started out of nowhere so I can't help be curiously.
