    I say this as a soccer fan, but I hope this world cup is a fucking disaster so blatant that it’s impossible to lie about (because you know Trump will). With Trump it’ll be another first term inaugeration “biggest crowds” ever moment.

    FIFA deserves whatever shit it gets from its blatant cock-stroking. Fuck 'em.

    Surely, even if riders are bearing 100% of the excess costs to the NJ Transit system during the World Cup, it chalks out to less than $100 per train ticket? The bus to Foxborough from Boston is rumored to be $95, which… surely renting buses isn’t that expensive?

    A day earlier, New York Governor Kathy Hochul tweeted: “The World Cup should be as affordable and accessible as possible. Charging over $100 for a short train ride sounds awfully high to me.”
