Perhaps the entire spy industry was just one big doom box as well...

You must acknowledge and regret the mistake and make a concrete plan for the future.

I'm grinding my teeth so hard because this man has a whole tradition going back to the Talmud of the obligation to marry theory with practice and lived experience and story telling and morality and so much more and in the name of the melting pot his people just - junked it.

For me, what's worse is, Klein belongs to a tradition of thousands of years but lacks all knowledge of the history and scholarship and literature of that tradition, which would also have provided him with those tools. Alienation from all things Jewish has not served well.

That part is pretty simple - they just ignored the bureaucrats and courts. We literally watched them do it in building after building with DOGE, and then ICE etc. The ignoring is public. Not sure why they even bother showing up in court. Maybe to send it up to the supremes to rule their way.

I'm even nostalgic for my childhood in caracas, which included a shootout as I was crossing the street and weekend shootings behind our apartment building, and a middle class with live in help, because as you say, I felt protected compared to others.

It's really a sign of changing times - no concerns of doxxing, what would people do with it? There was no internet socials etc to coordinate a hate campaign, each call cost money if not local, so many factors.

Kids of course used it for random prank calls. Legendary.

It's a USA thing too not to show it, and we only have to pay local sales tax which would not be difficult at all to add.

OMG this one post just clarified for me the difference between Jewish bringing Moshiach vs xtian stuff.
We work thru Torah Mitzvos acts of goodness and kindness to bring the era of Moshiach. They are just... this:
