Oomis 1105: “is that the Kollel boy is doing”. in here lies a big problem. he is not a boy, he is a man, who has a wife and maybe kids. he is not being productive. he is being counter productive. the things you mention are destructive, so you can say he is not being destructive, but that does not mean he is being productive. an infant also doesnt do those things, so are you going to now tell me that every 8 month old is a productive part of society.

joseph: you are wrong. the people sitting and learning should not be taking food stamps. we should be paying them more. the only way to do it is to lean out the system. it is way to big and is failing. we did not want to lean it out on our own, so now G-d will do it for us. he is going to make it so that only the people who can afford or really want to learn even through hardship stay. the rest, who are lazy bumsoir mooching off their in-laws, which is alot of them, will leave, since the yeshivos will start paying less (or in-laws will stop supporting), as the economy, and their support crumbles. your comment of

“Heilige Torah!…We need more Yidden learning….We need to encourage yungerleit to sit and learn.” is pure banter. ill agree are 2/3 of this statement. the Torah is heilege and we need more yidden learning Torah. maybe even the third, to encourage yungerleit to actually go to their butei midroshim on time, and not take 1.5-2 hour lunch breaks. but that is not what you meant. you meant we need to get more people in the yeshivos and more people not working. that is a poncy scheme. see, yeshivos do not generate money, they use it. as more people rely on payoffs, more money needs to come in from the top of the pyramid. but.. once the bottom of the pyramid, the yungerleit, overtakes the top, the donors, by too much of a percentile, the pyramid collapses. what we need is more baal habatim being kovei’ah itim.
