The $60 million hotel for illegals thing. Congress authorized the money
Today it just came out that someone high up at fema is blaming low level employees for authorizing the payments. Corps has much smaller amounts needing CFO or similar approval

Sometimes I don’t get sql
Simple query with inner join and other conditions but it returns bad data not in the conditions

Early data says NYC congestion pricing is working.
Someone should keep an eye on the MTA toll revenue to see how much it drops. Tolls go to support transit and it looks like it’s working so good that they will lose money on it
