    @always ask questions “changing gears somewhat” that is a gross understatement, it has zero to do with tipping, start your own topic about this

    @CTlawyer: Jan 21 Joe Biden will raise his right hand and take the oath.
    Jan 1 2021 fifty GOP senators will take the oath as will 213 GOP congressmembers
    most state legislatures are GOP controlled, live goes on with or without DJT

    @Gadol, I was going to use cornish hens but the taste is nothing like squab, I found a goose at the meat market [ btw from Pelleh] and use that instead for Shabbos Chanukah

    Why?”
    because your debate with Reb E about the Rambam has nothing to do with status of pt working boys and shidduchim

    In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts flame wars or intentionally upsets people on the Internet by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] either for the troll’s amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival’s online activities or manipulating a political process.
    Yup you fit the bill

    @Charlie Hall, Really now? NJ redistricting in 2010 was controlled by a ten member bipartisan commission with the 11th member being a democrat, the combined district was Steve Rothman and Scott Garrett, the rest of the state was gerrymander heavy democrat.
    Massachusetts is gerrymandered heavy democrat’s, after all that was the home state of Elbridge Gerry.
    None of the NY state senate districts approach the absurdity of the state assembly districts, when you have 2/3s of the assembly districts south of the Tappan Zee Bridge you know something is messed up

    I am giving my own personal prospective, I was a working boy who was kovah ittim and going to college at night, I married a BY Girl and I am bh a grandfather several times over.

    Fast forward to when my daughter was in the parsha every single boy who worked part time that was redt for her was not on the same page as her haskafawise.
    When she met my Son in law she asked about him about his plans and he said I love learning and want to learn as long as a I can, then she asked him if he wanted to go into business or chinuch like his father he answer I will do whatever is best for my yiras somayim, he has now a successful architectural business.

    @arihalevi, let me guess you are one of the aforementioned bucherim.

    “They continue to learn every day, just curtailing one or two sdarim in order to get a head start when the big bills come along after marriage. How else will these boys be able to afford tuition and Shmura Matza for their future families?”
    Working in a warehouse part time will get you nowhere fast, the money you save will be eaten up in two years, there only way you are going to get ahead in the long term is by getting an education not a part time job.

    you want logic by shidduchim? why does everyone go gaga over “top boys”?, why do people demand 5,10, 20 years of support? why do people want a gelt shidduch? why do heavy girls have a hard time? why this stigma of illness, mental issues, divorced homes? etc.etc.etc.

    GH: you must have been on the wrong website, it was more then likely a distributor of Pelleh products, the farm is located in Bethel NY in Sullivan County and is run by a Frum father and son and only deals with Kosher products.
    Father himself has a very interesting story, grew up secular and live in Montana for a number of years worked as a park ranger, a logger and number of other none typical jobs, became frum and was a talmud muvak of Rav Shlomo Friefeld ZTL, he built up the farm from scratch.

    Third parties in the US don’t have a very good track record, last serious 3rd party attempt was 1992 in Ross Perot with 18.9 % of the vote and not a single vote in electoral collage. The only serious 3rd party was Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 who came in second.
    Conversely why don’t the moderate and blue dog democrats jump ship now that the party has been hijacked by the AOC and alike.

    From the Foward
    “Under President Donald Trump, Orthodox Jews, who have long sought government funding for one of their highest priorities, their schools, loved what they heard from the administration.

    Education Secretary Betsy Devos, a mega-donor to conservative education reform efforts, championed private and religious schools at every turn, and federal lawmakers paid them renewed attention.

    “School choice has been so important to the Orthodox Jewish community, and finally got its due not only among the administration but also in Congress,” said Rabbi Abba Cohen, vice president for government affairs at the umbrella Orthodox group Agudath Israel.

    Now, that’s likely over.

    President-elect Joe Biden expressed skepticism about public charter schools on the campaign trail and is expected to name an education secretary close to the labor movement, which generally opposes charter schools and programs that send public dollars to private schools.”

    @Benny ” Besides Maryland and maybe Illinois, what deep blue gerrymander can compare with Texas, Ohio, or any of the other Republican ones?” Ok How about Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, California, Washington State, BTW Illinois wrote the book on gerrymandering going back to the Richard Daley. If you want to see fine example of NY gerrymandering look up the 98 Assembly District map, it is 60 miles long in meandering in suburban NY.
    “Democrats won the overall house margin by about 3% but still lost a bunch of seats.”
    That’s because the urban voters voted without brains, no matter who is on the GOP line they would not vote for them therefore they win districts 90-10.
    “Also, it’s not just “high tax” states projected to lose representation. Alabama, West Virginia, Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan all might lose a district.”
    Minnesota ranks #5 in tax burden, Ohio #12, WV and Michigan lost population thanks to Obama’s policies that dried up jobs. Of course NYS is proudly number one as the highest tax burden.

    for 90% of the Gedolim they think long and hard before they put a signature to something, in this case being that the letter was in English and went to the President I am sure they weight all the pros and cons, I am sure if Moshe Margetten would have asked them to sign a letter that the federal government should dictate the secular education to be taught in the yeshivas he would have been shown the door.

    @Benny, some of the worse gerrymandering is done in the deep blue state, the health of the democracy survived when the Democrats controlled the map in the the 70s, 80s and 2000, I guess it depends on whos ox is being gored.
    The problem for the dems is there has been a population shift from the high tax states such as New York, California and Illinois to business friendly states such as Texas and Florida , The Democrats hold a 10 vote margin in the house with shift in the new seats its more then likely the the GOP will control the house in 2022.
