    @eval, I see the comfort level in places like RBS, Jersualem Estates, Mamilla, Rechiva, Efrat and they put the level of gashmeus in chutz to shame.
    Golus is a state of being not where you at that moment, if I am a tourist for 7 days do I suddenly change my status? Gedolim like Rav YC Sonnenfeld and Rav Dushinsky internalized they were in golus even while living within site of har habis.

    @AAQ, My Degree is in Safety Engineering with my minor being in industrial hygiene, i have done many years of air sampling etc, however when it came to actual plans we brought in a CIH and ME. I also ask my Rov shailos and dont pasken for myself, go to a dentist for fillings and surgeon it get operated on.
    “I read up specifically on airflows [some of the work published last year was fascinating – such as measuring air flows in simulated airplanes] and did some experiments myself in several offices and shuls to measure CO2, particle levels – that are proxies for how much air re-circulates and particle level indicates how much air is filtered and and how much comes from outside ”
    To say that becuase you read up on something makes you a boke in the subject is so absurd like having a crossing guard head the traffic depatment because he/she helped children cross the street

    @ rational “Rav can declare meat treif if it comes from out-of-town and endangers the financial stability of the local kosher butcher” thats a new one for me. as long has the rav feel ok with the butcher it does not matter where the meat supplier is.

    Sophomoric humor is that which is juvenile and puerile. It is a type of comedy that often includes toilet humor and gags that are based on an appeal to a silly sense of immaturity, I tend not to dignify them with a response.

    @AAQ there is a old poem about “suggesting general ideas for consideration”

    There was six men of Indostan to learning much inclined,Who went to see the Elephant
    (Though all of them were blind), That each by observation might satisfy his mind.

    The First approached the Elephant, and happening to fall against his broad and sturdy side,
    At once began to bawl the Elephant is very like a wall

    The Second, feeling of the tusk cried: “Ho!—what have we here so very round and smooth and sharp? To me ‘t is mighty clear this wonder of an Elephant is very like a spear!”

    The Third approached the animaland happening to take the squirming trunk within his hands,
    Thus boldly up and spoke:”I see,” he said “the Elephant is very like a snake!”

    The Fourth reached out his eager hand, and felt about the knee.what most this wondrous beast is like is mighty plain, said he;” its is clear enough the Elephant is very like a tree!”

    The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, he said: “Even the blindest man can tell what this resembles most, no one can deny the fact this marvel of an Elephant is very like a fan!”

    The Sixth no sooner had begun bbout the beast to grope, then, seizing on the swinging tail
    that fell within his scope, “I see,” he said, “the Elephant is very like a rope!”

    So there you have it, my dear AAQ, you can ask question and do your research and act like people above and come up with the wrong answer.

    PS do us all a favor, on sensitive topics like ASD where you have no first hand knowlege please refrain from commenting.

    @1 “FDR was a light communist as well.”
    FDR yemach shemo. was one of the worse anti semites ever to walk the face of the earth, my grandfather was in the Rabbi’s March and heard first hand from him what a piece of garbage that man was. In fact I am sure Stephen Wise, Cordell Hull and FDR get a fresh log daily thown into the fire in the purgatory where they are roasting in for the behavior during the shoah

    In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception. This is typically for the troll’s amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival’s online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all.

    @Jackk
    Outspoken socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez remained silent as of early Tuesday about violent protests erupting in Cuba, while Sen. Bernie Sanders finally spoke out — to blame US sanctions rather than decades of Communist dictatorship.

    “All people have the right to protest and to live in a democratic society,” Sanders tweeted just before midnight Monday of the protests that started Sunday demanding “freedom” and the removal of President Miguel Díaz-Canel.

    but there is a HUGE difference between the golus of Boro Park, Monsey and London and non- golus of Eretz Yisroel.
    Oh Really? was it a non golus prior to 1948? by all mean please explain the difference, People like Rabbi YC Sonnenfeld knew they were living in Yerusalam but were in Golus regardless of where you are.

    @UJM,” And not have a fancy mansion or ostentatious displays of wealth.”
    Prof. Aaron Twerski wrote in this week Hamodia about Anti Semitism, he wrote that alot second and third generation post war have no feel for golus, someone had built a mega mansion and when the father came to visit he was mortified, he said this is not the way we live in golus and never came back to that house and this was a very very wealthy man.
    Yes we are in golus be it in Boro Park, Monsey, London and even in Efrat or the Old City we are in golus,

    @Quay, “I’ve yet to come across someone from a first world country with socialized medicine that would prefer the US system.
    Care is never worse in these countries. There is always the option of private medical insurance(and seemingly for far cheaper than it would cost in the US). But with socialized medicine, it ensures everyone has at least basic medical coverage.”
    I dont know who you have been talking to but I have a brother in the Uk and a son and nephew in Canada and they all say the system there really really really stinks, like waiting for 10 days to see someone for a broken bone, things are so bad in Canada they have a a tip bucket for the RNs
