I’m so sick of everyone targeting NJ with jokes. Why can’t they make fun of any other state??! It’s actually really pretty in a lot of parts of nj, it’s not completely gross, freaking seriously people, if it’s not cool to pick on a disabled person who can’t help teh way they are then don’t freaking pick on NJ im so sick of all your stereotypes.

New Jersey is the “Garden State”. But seriously, maybe this explains why civil engineers in New Jersey think that traffic circles are a good thing. I will drive 100 miles out of my way just to avoid one.

Aren’t the rates of autism in New Jersey the highest in the country? Hmmm…

You know the reason New Jersey has all the toxic waste and California has all the lawyers right? It’s because New Jersey got first pick! Thank you thank you, i’ll be here all week, tip your waitress…

I just skimmed the article so I may have missed something. But I wonder why it has so much hazardous waste.
I could see New Mexico and Nevada because of all the Nuclear research and weapons development that happens there. But why New Jersey?
Of course when I think of Hazmat. I think Nuclear & Chemical mostly. But even Gas stations are considered Hazardous sites because of fuel leakage.

Ah, no wonder! You know, it’s the same problem that faces the Campania Region here in Italy (heard about the trash piles in Naples?). Well, guess who obscurely ruled in the waste management market during the last decades in both Campania and New Jersey? Bravo! The Mafia and the Camorra. With the silent approval of politics of course.
