    1. It does NOT say gas prices "doubled"....it said it went up 50%.
      For the mathematically challenged that means it went up HALF of the price it was then. The price under Trump was $2.20 add 50% (which is $1.10) and you get $3.30....

    2. Here in Lakewood gas IS $4.20, which is DOUBLE.

      Second question -- why is gas $4.20 when all over RT 9, it's $3.20-$3.50?
      Is the hechsher better in Lakewood than on RT 9??

    1. Which products?

      You can't just come here with lashon hara without any backing.

      Delete
    2. This is well publicized with letter from numerous agencies, and far from loshan hara.

      Delete
    3. Chug Chassam Sofer themselves put out a letter to stop using the products.

  6. Cliften 9th is where they should make the next Adirim

  7. He is just enforcing the ideas which were presented years ago at the citi field asifa, It is just that the rest of us have quietly moved away from those ideas since we realized like others have even realized then, That it is completely unrealistic. It's very nice and theory to prohibit internet in most circumstances, Till you realize that your appliance diagnostic and DMV documents ,doctors appointments etc all need the internet.
    It wasn't too bright then for those who saw the future ,and it looks pretty dim now.

    1. Ok but why do children have access to the Internet in the house and out?

      Delete
    2. It's because of people like the Skulener Rebbe that thousands of yungerleit and many balabatim use flip phones. It's because of people like him that the Torah world only uses filtered computers and that TAG is busy day and night advising, coaching and installing filters. Not because of the chachomim who understood that one day everyone will need it.

    3. You just built a strawman and made your argument nobody is saying the internet is kosher or we don't need safeguards The question at the time was how to proceed .to refresh your memory initially the war was about texting..... For example..Many gedolim did not agree. Their foresight shows today. Tag would have been arguably much more effective if they would have approached the subject a bit more pragmatically. Affect that their message kept on changing as time went on did not help the Cause You can argue with this premise but at least let's argue fairly

  8. Rabbi Shimon Ragubi is 100% right about the organizations that have access to doctors, not necessarily having access to the best advice on what medical approach is best.

    Many of the organizations that are linked to doctors are limited that they cannot let you know about other doctor or alternative ideas because it would be disloyal to those very doctors that they have close access to!

    This could end up causing the organization to give bad advice to someone who truly needs the best advice even more than getting that "early appointment to the MRI".

    People should do their own research and not blindly trust yiddishe organizations.

    1. The reason they are managing to cut the lines, is because they are providing revenue to the Dr's and in turn are receiving "donations" from the Dr. It is not always based on medical qualifications. There is a reason that a "top" Dr in a "top" hospital that has a waiting list for a year suddenly agrees to see a patient because the "askan" called. It's not out of admiration or respect.

    2. Ahhh, I get it. So they're corrupt and only pose as decent and caring people. Of course.
      You're the tzaddik and they're corrupt reshaim...

      Delete
    3. Is there nothing in between tzaddik and corrupt reshayim? Yes, they're trying to help, and in many cases they do. But they are also affected by other factors. Doesn't make them reshayim, just means the public should not trust blindly and should verify.
      It's idiots like you that prevent people from trying to help others, and why this town has blindly elected politicians who have helped few. When people spoke out about how Schnall can't deliver on his promises, they too were called reshayim. Yet they were correct.

      Delete
    4. Sorry, Schnall has no place in this conversation. You alleged that they have ulterior motives in guiding people and anyone who guides people in matters of health and isn't 100% truthful is a rasha. So you called them reshaim. It's not difficult to understand.
      And you are a big tzaddik obviously.

      Delete
    5. Not sure why you are so triggered by this. My guess is I hit a raw nerve. I never called anyone a rasha or claimed I'm a tzaddik. I'm telling you of first hand experience. Do with it what you want.

      Delete
    6. I agree with you fully, had similar experiences. These organizations are wonderful, but you still must be your own best advocate and think for yourself. There are lots of other things that are at play when they recommend a doctor, thank them and do your own research too.

      Delete
    7. Triggered? Hardly.
      It's called expressing an opinion and just because it doesn't align with yours, it's still okay. Only a narcissist would view it otherwise.
      Your firsthand experience does not wash away an entire industry. You make very strong allegations against many people based on "your firsthand experience." Your allegations are slanderous. Effectively you're claiming that they don't always act in the best interests of the patient. That's a MAJOR claim to lodge against many sincere and tremendous baalei chessed.
      That's the only point I made. Please don't act like you didn't say anything too major.

  9. If the Skulener Rebbe doesn't hold of live streaming, then he should NOT have attended period as it was a live stream event even if they were going to stop the live stream while he was there!!?

    1. Does he ever fly how does he book a ticket? Does he ever go to a doctor how does he receive his medical records? Does he file taxes how does he file? Just the fact that he's lucky enough to have someone else do it for him does not mean it's not necessary so for him to ban any sort of use is hypocritical. He is obviously banning every sort of use because live streaming can be filtered and that's not good enough for him

      Delete
    2. "so for him to ban any sort of use is hypocritical'"

      I strongly suggest you relax and reconsider how you speak about a person of his character. He is a kadosh and a Tzaddik. You may or may not personally agree with him, but that does not give you license to call a person like him a disparaging name (or anyone else for that matter, but this is even worse.).

      This is not difficult folks. You can disagree and even wonder, but you can't disrespect. It's הלכה מפורשת.
