Dear Health,
Whether I read it wrong or you wrote it wrong, I obviously did read your post.
Either way, your point is still caught in the same bind.
Dear Anonymous,
Overall, do you think there will more attempts of election fraud in this year’s presidential election than usual?
Dear Health,
nOmesorah -“Do you seriously think that this protocol is a ‘game changer’?”
What protocol?
HCQ plus zinc.
Dear Health,
The individual vote do not need to be changed.
Here is how it is/(used to be) done. The troublemaker comes to the polling station early. He disables the opposing candidates. Now, all those who did not want to vote for that candidate can’t. This helps the preferred candidate get a a majority. [There is a feature that is supposed to sound an alarm when the machine is tampered with. It is only useful against a bumbling idiot. Even a below average troublemaker does not shy away from an alarm.] Also, people may start randomly selecting candidates, to see if any of them work. They might keep pushing until they select the only one that works. For this reason, newer machines have the option to clear your choices before you submit the vote. (The older machines are still legal. I do not know why.)
Dear Health,
Peaceful demonstrations seem to stay on track toward the original goal in the long run.
Violence could be more effective, when the problem is that nobody is willing to talk for/to you.
The ideology of violence (as far as I can tell) is reserved for when the subjugated, or those who think they are subjugated, understands the oppositions thinking a certain way. And according to that understanding, the opposition would never really give ground, because it undermines their whole sense of self. This is also behind the ideology of war. As well as competitive sports. (The yankees think the red sox would not allow the yankees to win the world series, as that is part of the red sox’ identity.)
Dear Health,
nOmesorah -“Like, how he can solve the racial divide,”
Actually when he came into office, there wasn’t much fighting among the Races.
Obama started right away with “Trayvon could be my son.”
He wanted a Race War!I notice a contradiction. If Obama was starting a race war, you cannot say there was not much fighting.
(The real world exists beyond the headlines that make it to the front page.)
Dear Health,
“control the pandemic, and restart the economy.”
Actually he was partially right. He should have got rid of that Loser in NIH.
HCQ works; but You need to combine it with Zinc.
If he would have Forced the issue – then the economy would Restart.
There are a lot of Docs that use HCQ + Zn for Covid 19.“he was” Trump? Right about what? The pandemic?
“Loser in the NIH” If you say so. (You are the undeniable expert on who should be America’s top health professionals.) Collins? (Trump must have forgotten to consult with you over reconfirming his post. Or maybe he did. And he just values Vladimir Putin’s opinion more.) Fauci? (You may be onto something. Because once you get past all the breakthroughs he pioneered, and all the world leaders that relied on his advice, we are left with this anonymous account. It just proves what a nobody he really is.
In a 2020 analysis of Google Scholar citations, Dr. Fauci ranked as the 41st most highly cited researcher of all time. According to the Web of Science, Dr. Fauci ranked 7th out of more than 1.8 million authors in the field of immunology by total citation count between 1980 and January 2020.
Dr. Fauci has delivered major lectures all over the world and is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest honor given to a civilian by the President of the United States), the National Medal of Science, the George M. Kober Medal of the Association of American Physicians, the Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service, the Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research, the Robert Koch Gold Medal, the Prince Mahidol Award, and the Canada Gairdner Global Health Award. He also has received 45 honorary doctoral degrees from universities in the United States and abroad.
Dr. Fauci is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society, as well as other professional societies including the American College of Physicians, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Association of American Physicians, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Association of Immunologists, and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. He serves on the editorial boards of many scientific journals; as an editor of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine; and as author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,300 scientific publications, including several textbooks.)
Forced what issue? HCQ? You are way to optimistic about this.
Dear Proud,
The fact that certain people recovered from severe cases of coronavirus, proves nothing. The recovery rate is high. Nobody thinks coronavirus is a death sentence.
Dr. Fauci is a government worker. Not an investor. He does not have a vaccine.
The implicated contradiction of your two statements is very strong. It reminds me of your dual single minded support for Trump and hashem.
I endorse Chaim Shulem for party spokesperson.
Dear Reb Eliezer,
For democracy to thrive, there needs to be (at least) two viable options. For a long time, neither party has conceded to the other the ability to represent the people/(right to exist). Though it seems like the Democrats are coming to terms with the idea that it is for their own good to have an opposition party that is representing the same interests. I am not convinced they will stick to it.
Dear Health,
RE -“Trump strives in division whereas Biden advocates unity.”
Just the opposite! The DemonCrats want to put the Black Race on top of the white race. Just to make up for past unequalities!
And this explainer:
I was talking about Race Relations, like the DemonCrats support Affirmative Action!
It leaves me to think of your post as incomprehensible. You may oppose Affirmative action as putting the black race on top of the white race. The supporters of it, do not.
Dear Health,
Do you seriously think that this protocol is a ‘game changer’?
[I understand that it may be eventually effective, and has shown (limited) positive results. But even the best perspectives, portray a negligible impact on the overall state of the pandemic.]
Dear Gadol,
” However, to me, this event has taken on many attributes of a goiyehse type of “new age” festival”
and
“They may be a small percentage ”
It appears that you explicitly stated, that you have no qualms about basing your perspective on what you yourself admit may be the exception.
Dear Takah,
” “True believers” would be going to Yerushalayim, not someplace in the middle of Jew hatred country.”
I do not see the truth to your statement.
It may be worthwhile to recall, that the measels epidemic that recently spread through the jewish community, was found to have spread from Umann over Rosh Hashana 2018. That is what is motivating Gamzu and other Health Officials.
Dear Ben,
Maybe foolish on your part. You are missing the entire context. She is an activist. Not an economic theorist.
Dear Charlie,
Thanks a lot! I’ll (eventually) let you know.
Dear Health,
It takes less than a minute to partially disable a voting machine.
There is a youtube video on how to hack the machine in seven minutes.
How much time is allowed in the booth?
‘Lack of enagement and enthusiasm among the younger generation’ is true of most jewish communities in this country. Could be it is true across the country, not only by yidden. Look at the this presidential race, as well as the last one. I have a hunch, that it is a characteristic of the Boomers to never relinquish the steering wheel.
Since it is a new limud (Kodshim) intelligent boys cannot keep up by cruising through the shiurim , and relying on what they know from high school. If a bochur is keeping up in these yeshivos, you know he is either putting in some real hours, or he was an iluy at a young age. Brisk specifically, has no attraction for bochurim that are not learning. Since space is limited, most of those that get in, only do so with the recommendation of their rosh yeshivah. Which implicates that the rosh yeshivah thought it was worth it for the bochur to go to Brisk.
Dear Health,
One person can go into the machine under the pretense of voting, and disable it. Or if he is very capable, disable one voting option.
Voting places, like just about everywhere else in this country are not as secure as you think.Yes. Why does it matter?
Dear Health,
The din of machteres only applies to a ganev. Because he is not in any way in the midst of attempting to kill anyone, it is inapplicable the regular concept of rodef. It would not apply if someone would be breaking and entering without any intention of theft. For example, someone breaking into a public building to get shelter from a storm (However we know that he is not trying to steal anything.) will not have one din of a rodef. Or if someone takes a shortcut through your property, there is no din of machteres.
If you want, you can keep thumping your bible. Better to open it and examine it under the lens of our sages.
Dear Se,
Nice theory.
Correction:
Trump’s most significant substance is his surface.
Dear Health,
Biden is your average joe senator for the last thirty years. There is no easy knock here. Maybe you can talk up Trump’s attributes. Like, how he can solve the racial divide, control the pandemic, and restart the economy.This is all moot. Trump did a clear political quid pro quo with US governors (!?!*%) over PPE in broad daylight.If you think the man is as honest as they come, you probably reflected long and hard, before reaching such an obvious, unanimous conclusion.
Dear Shimon,
As long as one can see and hear the others it is a minyan. But not a tzibbur.
Dear Syag,
If you wanted the plain old truth it might not have been creative. Maybe the ‘Biden is senile’ narrative, helps Biden more than it hurts him. The plain answer is that Harris never really faced the tough questions yet. Why risk making headlines now? all the regular headlines do not reflect well on Trump. (This is only my guess to what the strategists are thinking.)
Dear Health,
Nobody is in the booth when someone is voting. The machines are sometimes brought to the polling stations a few days in advance.
Dear Gadol,
The pull to Umman is because they make an actual Yom Tov out of Rosh Hashanah. It is not depressing or debased. Fits well with the mood of the day. Try it out yourself. It might suit you.
Dear Health,
I am not a bible thumper. This is not the parshah of the din of rodef. See the latter half of eight perek of sanhedrin.
You can not assume things in life and death matters. [This may be a major earth shattering chiddush to you.] You have to examine the factors carefully.
In many Police departments they do only half of their job. Eventually we should give them better training, or find private alternatives.
Dear Participant,
I read his post and have two thoughts.
That post is tame on Trump. (Compared to his other posts.)
I disagree with your main point. There is much more a president can do with controlling a pandemic, than stopping a terror attack. But I agree that there has to be a concerted effort on the communal level, which is about us regular citizens and not the government alone.
Dear Syag,
I get the feeling that you aremore skeptical then I am, if the shut downs worked.
Dear Health,
“It might be easier, but it’s even easier to catch the wrongdoing!”
How so?
Dear Participant,
Thanks!
Dear CTL,
It is okay. Proud is not much of a Republican either.
Dear Syag,
I feel like we are basically of the same opinion. Just facing in different directions. You think that if this was a deadly outbreak of say, malaria; things would be just as confusing?
I know people that go yearly that are making an extra effort. But not every effort. They did not join the group that went a month ago to Europe. And planned to be in Umman by next week.
Dear Health,
Why would the thief be a rodef as soon as he breaks in? Maybe the house is empty. [As well as a hundred other variables.]
How do you know he was about to drive the car? Maybe he was going to sleep it off. (Among other possibilities.)
I propose the cop should have confirmed that he was the guy who bought the cigarettes. [Maybe he did.] Then ask him where he got the money from. [I am not sure how the best way to ask this question. But something along these lines. Then again, it could be the cop did this too.] The he could have asked him if he needs a ride. [Maybe he did. Maybe something happened here. It is not clear to me.] And then he could have left him alone! [Only one of the millions of Americans that were intoxicated at that moment.]
Dear CTL,
Good catch. Always appreciated.Dear Doing,
As far anybody here knows, Floyd never shot anyone.The joke three weeks ago was that random people being pulled off the streets into unmarked cars was vital to keeping America safe.
FEar will not be the main factor. It is more about logistics. If one has to quarantine two weeks upon arrival, then…
Somebody has to answer to why it is worth forging individual ballots. It would be more efficient to manipulate a voting machine. Or to invalidate hundreds of ballots at the official counting.
Dear Jack,
It seems like your original point is uncontested. Moving the Embassy is not a symbol of his undying love for Jews. Though, it does not hold until Joseph starts giving us his take again.Dear Fein,
Not sure who you are calling ignorant. Trump’s executive order is a reiteration of 2010 guidance issued by the Obama administration aimed at providing a more expansive definition of antisemitism. Our constitutional rights were first recognized long before Trump came to office.Dear Proud,
A majority of NYC did not got the virus. Maybe a fifth. It takes longer than that to get to ten million people. This is not a purely scientific response. It is a mathematical one.
It helped, that there was no setback when the Northeast reopened.
Miami had a second shut down. As well as many other cities and states.
The second shutdowns were not as harsh as the first. There was a lot more knowledge available in June then in March. This allowed for a more focused battle. (Young people partying.) And there was better testing. People could get tested and go about life. But those states are not really past their second curve yet, so let’s wait a bit to see what it proves. (How fast can they reopen.)
I have no idea what you are talking about with everything being opened. Stadiums, festivals, and concerts, are still being cancelled across the country. Viruses are not political. Are you saying that all viruses vote Republican?
Dear Syag,
No, the risk is not based on how I stated it, nor how I understand it. Because that is still just human perspective. If this was an epidemic of a known disease such as typhus or influenza, than we could just follow directives. Because we already have the know how of past experience.
Being that we are dealing with a new disease, there has been a lot of confusion. (We could assume that everybody was wrong about something at some point.) To say that it is behind us, is pure conjecture. There is still at the very least a risk in that we will not know when it is for sure over. To say that we know for a fact that it is behind us, is a boldface lie. We may may not know that it is behind, even when it is. The same way we did not know it was among us, until sometime after.
The guidelines in this country gave a lot of leeway. The problem is that people are taking it as an all or nothing approach. The more precautions we take, the more freedom we eventually retain. (This could be a motto for general life. I am not taking credit for claiming to know something with that one.) In Europe, fans started attending soccer matches in June. And, they were clear to travel anywhere in the world. Do you think that was good for their economy?
Besides the social justice protests, there were stay at home protests. The Governors were unable to do much about it. Why do take that as a leniency? And it did not make it evident to me that the danger is not real. I took it as it is not up to what the Governor decrees. It is/was up to the people to make it work.
“It is indeed hard to talk to the fearful, faithful, and well educated.”
I laughed. Thanks!Or a big Amarone.
Dear Health,
When the drunk is actually starting to drive [while impaired] and there may be people around (Or if there are people with him in the vehicle.) he is a rodef. Not before that.
Breaking into a house is not [yet] a rodef. He is given a lifeless disposition because of two factors. 1) He is in the process of theft. 2) He may become a rodef.
Dear Common,
For a short while everything was falling into a good place. All the zuggers had nothing to say. Shuls were closed. People were not forced to daven anywhere. They could choose how, when and where to learn. The yeshivos were shut. We learned how , when, and what, we wanted. Bein Adam Lamakom was really going somewhere positive. Than we were able to reopen, and we reopened the needless stuff first. Oh, well. Maybe next time.
Dear Proud,
I did not predict anything. Hashem made your existence in such a way, that you can examine what is around you and come up with an understanding of how it works. Please stop insulting His handiwork.
