    i finally had a chance to look it up!

    it’s in taanis daf yud ches

    it doesnt say it specifically for beis sivan, i extrapolated it for beis sivan and like i said it was days not to fast (or make a eulogy)

    Sam2: Because the litvaks hold that you need to do all the mitzvos and not do aveiros

    that’s not true, i heard a vort that ratzah hkbh lzachos es yisrael lifichach hirbah lahem torah umitzvos means, just do one mitzvah completely

    we also hold yeish konam olamo bshaah achas

    gaw,

    are you saying the chareidim should go blow up shopping centers?

    you really think the israeli arabs don’t take money from the medinah? if the palestinains do it why can’t they?

    3) You do understand that the order of when we read the parshiot is pretty arbitrary, right?

    yes however shelach was what started the mourning of tiisha b’av which the three weeks starts in a month

    i was in a hospital somewhere (not going to say where) because i had severe nausea and thought it was serious so i got to the hospital they took a blood sample, left me there over night as i was wondering why nothing is happening with me, they said i was fine and discharged me (i was feeling better by then) so i get back to where i was staying and i get a phone call to come back, there was bacteria in my blood, so i got back there and was admitted into a room yet they didnt do anything to me medically wise (no IV, heart monitor etc) and i got discharged a few days later with a bill for $2000 and them saying that the bacteria was in the needle

    thats true

    (however my first rayah still fits)

    i took it as “a little rain” meaning if it doesnt rain a lot “never hurt anyone”

    exactly,

    its possible to have a small amount of rain and then not happen again for two months, thereby being a drought

    in other words not often and a little bit at a time

    in reply to: A little rain never hurt anyone #1082813

    lack of sufficient rain is called a drought, and that makes it “a little rain”

    of course it has

    the shul i davened in actually didn’t say tachnun on monday either

    shmuel hanavi’s yahrtzeit

    addtionally the reason we don’t say tachnun on beis sivan is because it’s in between rosh chodesh and shlosha yimei hagbalah

    therefore one shouldn’t say tachnun on erev rosh chodesh, it’s in between yom yerushalayim and rosh chodesh

    git,

    you answered it yourself

    “I was taught at a very young age to always send Thank You cards when one gives you any type of gift or help.”

    they weren’t taught that but they were taught other things (like maybe selflessly helping out, not expecting a thank you in return)

    thank you dy,

    in other words if a company can charge a higher price and the demand stays the same (or drops a little) the group that the company is in is demand inelastic (i learned micro and macro economics) and therefore is a price setter, because demand barely changes (which is what happened with the airline companies)

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    ubepuitin,

    do you remember when the price of oil went up, it gave the airlines a “reason” to charge “baggage fees” yet when the pirce went down again they just keep it because it gives them more money

    the same is done over here,

    if we raise the minimum wage that gives mcdonalds the “excuse” to charge more (hey, the cost of labor went up) however if we lower it it will just mean more profits for them

    ??coffee addict

    dy,

    hard to tell when it’s written instead of spoken

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    wait a minute (i missed this on the first read)

    “and they only deserve 50 cents profit?”

    huh? who’s to decide how much profit a company desrves? the government

    if a company could produce something for a penny and could sell it for 1,000 dollars the government has to take away 99% of it because he only “desrves 10 dollars (9.99 profit)

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    ubequitin,

    that’s great (option 2) now a dollar would get a smaller burger

    3 is also good, they wouldn’t hire more people thereby keeping the unemployment numbers high for the next president

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    ubequitin,

    thats right that the consumer doesnt care about cost only price however the seller does, whereby if the seller doesn’t “break even” he won’t sell the product

    yes your right about your second point because i presume that the PRICE factors in the COST one really has to be an idiot to sell under COST unless he was liquidating his inventory

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    both are yucky?

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    yet again ubequitin,

    you confuse COST and PRICE

    PRICE is based off of supply and demand

    COST isn’t

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    that’s correct ubequitin,

    however i’m talking about a business, not something that flopped and the person wants to sell, albeit at a loss

    a lot of businesses try out how good a product is (free sample) before making a gazillion of that product so they don’t have to lose money on the product

    in reply to: I'm not saying anything #1081600
    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    oh no (rolls eyess)

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    ubequitin,

    “the cost of a product is based on raw materials + direct labor (how much the worker works X wage) + manufacturing overhead, which is computed based off of labor costs (like .25 of labor costs)”

    means COST (like cost of goods sold) whereas

    This is not all there is, what is probably more important is what the public is welling (or has available) to spend on the item

    is talking about price, which is based off of supply and demand, 2 different things

    however everyone agrees the price cannot be less than the cost of the product

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    what i don’t think is understood over here is a corporations drive for “profits”

    it’s what gives bonuses to ceos

    it raises the stock price of a company

    it hires more employees

    even if the company is going to make the same amount of sales (revenues) their expenses go up do to labor costs and viola less “profit” which kills the company at the quarterly report and drives down the stock price

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    ubiquitin,

    see my comment to joe, i understand the laws of supply and demand apply here (as with most other places) however if all restaurants have to pay more money for the labor ($15 dollars an hour!) they would have to charge more to the customer and if they can’t find a medium they go kaput and welcome to higher unemployment

    additionally, if the price of burgers go up (because people have more money to spend on them as you say) then there is inflation where the burger is anyway the same percentage of a persons hourly wage

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    yserbeius,

    did you read my example?

    if mcdonalds (big company) sells a burger for a dollar, if it costs more than a dollar to make they’re going to raise the price

    im specifically bringing mcdonalds in because deblasio wants to raise the minimum wage for restaurants to 15 dollars an hour

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    but joe, my example proves otherwise, unless you’re taking supply and demand into account, and less people would pay 2 dollars more for the salad, but either way the employee would have to raise the price of the salad
