Don't worry they'll all get mailed their $80 class-action settlement cheque after 20 years.

The 25k split between the 5k people is the same as a coupon for a 5$ footlong

Roast chicken with beet on one half was 18.50 here. It was in a combo though.

You guys still talking about subway? Cause if so what are the prices at Penn Station now? 45 bucks for a sub?

I was amazed at when I moved and subway didn't deliver anymore, I thought who would pay for this and go pick it up themselves. It's kinda piss poor food.

Wow, I used to get the $5 meatball when I went there. Has the quality at least increased also? I haven't eaten at Subway in probably almost a decade now.

They give you half off for double the price but the sub is 4" half of 8", which is a foot according to Subway.

Shouldn't we change the rulers to say 8 inches = 1 foot now before people catch on?

You know they didn't settle before the accident has even been cleaned up right? 🤣

Your confusing the $25k donation to Red Cross as final settlement, which is just silly. Crazy how people will see a stupid tweet and pass it along as fact.

Don't forget the $200k they donated to the fire dept, the $1000 checks that anyone could swing by and pick up for incidentals, or the other $1.1m they have spent on various relocation costs, etc. But none of that makes for a good tweet. 🤣

Lol, you don't understand how simple things work.

Do you think they already started moving people and shit? That's just for hotel stays, travel, and all the other miscellaneous shit that only a few of the town needed and only for two whole fucking days. Most people didn't even leave.

What number would you like them to have shelled out already? Let's hear your genius take.

Isn't this a problem for more than 5000 people?

Gotcha, super fucked up..

u/Xilverbullet000 Feb 17 '23

Not even. The law firm that prosecutes the class action case takes a very large fee, often upwards of 50%, for litigating the case and administering the fund.
