What about price caps on Turkish taleisim and esrogim from Calabria??

UJM: Your application for EITHER model would likely trigger immediate legal filings by CR posters under Article 63-A of the NYS Civil Practice Laws and Rules (“Red Flag Law”) setting forth the facts and circumstances justifying the issuance of a temporary extreme risk protection order by a State Court when there is “probable cause to believe the respondent is likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to himself, herself, or others, as defined in paragraph one or two of subdivision (a) of section 9.39 of the mental hygiene law.” Yesterday’s SCOTUS decision had no effect on such laws.

Ask your LRP for a suggestion regarding some individual ben torah who is on the cusp of having to leave kollel for economic reasons. Assuming you are dealing with a modest sum, spreading it out over multiple mosdos is unlikely to yield a visible outcome.

The little saychel I occasionally summon is far from “common”

And whats wrong with pineapple chicken on Shabbos versus some fatty overcooked red meat with beans that threatens both gastronomical norms and global warming.

Seems something about bathroom humor really attracts you and Mr. Saychel. You aren’t the same person are you?

Shalom, v’livracha. Have you tried “Emes Social”. No limit on multiple dysfunctional personas.

Even if you disagree with R’ Tendler on many issues, perhaps still show some respect by referencing him as “Rav” (an omission that I’ve been guilty of on occasion as well). On many issues where his views are not widely accepted, I’d still give his analysis greater weight given his vastly greater intellectual understanding of the underlying science relative to most of his peers.

Singular Satmar: Was that a joke? Cricket IS AT&T network.

” I did not have the right hashgacha..

First, kol hakovod to you and much hatzlacha in your efforts. 1a2b3c is right on point with respect to the support from Rebeeim such as R’ Nota Schiller and R’Mendel Weinbach at Ohr Samayach and other baalei tshuvah yeshivos and mosdos offering extensive support networks.
P.S. I think you mean “hashkafah” so don’t be surprised if someone inadvertently refers you to the Badatz Eidah Chareidit

“I expect the naviim who post here will have a definitive answer”.

We do. Economists define a “recession” as a decline in industrial activity using the standard measure of the value added created through the production of goods and services (GDP) in two successive quarters. Currently, such a decline in GDP appears likely for Q4 2022 and Q1 2023 based on multiple forecasts but reverting back to positive growth by Q2 or Q3 2023. Thus, we are likely to have a recession, but relatively short-lived within an overall secular growth trend.

Not everyone holds by the hashkafah of the publishers of a social media site, even a frum site. Check with your LRP.

With the exception of a relatively smalll (35K b/d) refinery west-Texas refinery built in 2019, there hasn’t been a major new refinery built in the U.S. in nearly 50 years spanning both Democratic and Republican administrations. Existing refineries are running near 100 percent capacity so even if we had additional crude imports, they couldn’t be processed in the near term. The combination of a post-covid surge in demand and the loss of Russian distilled product are the primary cause of recent price spikes and it has little to do with Biden. In the longer term, however, when demand levels return to normal and Russian product is back on the market, Biden’s policies could keep prices at above market levels since his “excess profit” rhetoric and constraints on new pipelines will limit incentives for expanding U.S. refining capacity. Refiners don’t want to invest in new capacity unless they are assured of reasonable returns and those assurances are sorely lacking.

a m Condensate splitters are distillation units that process condensate, which is lighter than crude oil. Splitter capacity is included as atmospheric distillation units in U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data.

However, the newest refinery with significant downstream unit capacity is Marathon’s facility in Garyville, Louisiana. That facility came online in 1977 with an initial atmospheric distillation unit capacity of 200,000 b/cd, and as of January 1, 2021, it had a capacity of 578,000 b/cd.

Whatever one may choose to believe with respect to the Ebeshter’s “long-term plan” for the the olam he created, there are frequently immediate adverse environmental effects of human actions ( or shorter-term cumulative effects) that pose risks of pikuach nefesh and/or material property loss that make it insanity to rely upon some abstract notion of “shomer pesayim Hashem” to inoculate them from those effects. Nor are we permitted to “dump our garbage” on the goyim and simply ignore the adverse consequences we impose on others.

“He’s apparently a very picky cat, and if I serve him anything other than fresh salmon he flies into a tantrum”…

Well, he is really going to freak out since R’ Gavornlik, shlita, just paskined that the tolayim present in virtually all salmon are totallly asur in accordance with the holding of the Shulchan Aruch in Yoreh Deah (84:16). Recent studies have shown that in salmon, the tolayim migrate from the viscera to the flesh and skin. There are still some excellent varieties of dried kitty- kibble with outstanding chassideshe hashgacha that he may learn to love over time versus a painful death from hunger.

Provax: Because??
…while caution is always prudent, your comment is totally inappropriate and w/o any basis

On a serious note, the incidents of cheating among students in Yeshivos is relatively rare and isolated. The majority of these cases, as reported in the media, are among computer savy public school students who get access to exams which have been distributed to some schools prior to the test date. Even then its more difficult since the sequencing of questions is frequently changed and some entirely new items dropped in.
Over the longer term, these standardized exams are being used less frequently, especially those like the SAT, LSAT etc. which historically were a primary tool for college and grad school admissions. Other tests like the Regents exams which are designed to measure proficiency in certain subject areas for advancement or graduation will probably continue, but even those are being refocused in the name of “equity”.

There are over 100 Israelis whose surname is “Gadol”listed in the Bezeq directory. Call first before showing up for your baracha.

As UJM advised, when in doubt, cheat. It has apparently worked well for him so perhaps a winning strategy if your long-term objective is to grow up to become a troll on frum social media.

Not clear why the concept of “extinction” of certain species is not compatible with a belief in a dynamic evolution of the world with all occurring in accordance to bio-physical principles promulgated by the Ebeshter. New species evolve over time as old ones go extinct. New technologies allow for reintroduction of biological clones of what are believed to be extinct species. Its not apikorsus to believe in some overall plan for these dynamics.

Too many gadolim on this board…getting very confused as to what I didn’t say, what I didn’t know and when I didn’t know it.

” Everything is just peachy creamy in the American kollel system and there is nothing that can be improved.

Rocky, your sarcasm notwithstanding, there are obviously aspects of EVERY element of Jewish life that always can be improved. However, you seem determined to focus on the fewer negatives rather than the much greater number of positives.

Unlikely he would be Tweeting or posting in the CR about the so called “evils” you enumerate. The BMG velt is unlike anything that the Rav Z’L or anyone for that matter could ever have imagined 60 years ago in terms of the resurgence of yiddishkeit in the U.S. You could have asked the same question about the gadolei yisroel in the Alte Heim during the late 1800s looking ahead.

AAQ: The likely “Mister Speaker” post 2022 midterm elections spoke clearly and unequivocally in the week following 1/6 clearly blaming Trump for unleashing the rioters and failing to act in response to his rantic telephone messages to the Chief of Staff and others begging for help from the military. Weeks later he was flying down to Mar a Lago edited and begging for mechilah for what he had said. Even now, he lives in mortal fear that Trump and the right-wing crazies in the Freedom Caucus will push for a more MAGA candidate for speaker. I’ll take Nancy anytime with her stupid giggling, cosmetic surgery and inebriated husband.

Syag: Rural life has its benefits. More time to shave the cat, count the salmon at the Bonneville Dam fish ladder, climb the Redwoods, toivel in natural mikvahs and most importantly, read the House organizing resolution (H. Res 503) for the 1/6 Committee and objectives of the public hearings, including, inter alia:

“investigate and inform the public regarding the facts, circumstances, and causes relating to the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol…”

A gutten shabbos.
