Hey @DEWALT and @StanleyBlkDeckr — I bought a DEWALT compressor with a DEWALT warranty. When it failed, support pushed me to the manufacturer (FNA) who doesn’t answer phones or emails. Ticket #14875028 has been sitting unresolved. Can someone at DEWALT actually help?
Yo RAM, your whole “lashon hara = murder, end of story” take is cute but misses half the sefer.
Chafetz Chaim straight-up says apikorsim don’t get the “amitecha” protection—calling them out publicly is literally a mitzvah to keep people safe from their garbage. Plenty of sources already say Neturei Karta crossed that line by posing with guys who fund rockets at Jewish kids and scream death to Israel.
Even without the heresy tag, l’toeles is right there: warning Jews about real danger, stopping chilul Hashem from Iran hugs and Haniyeh mourning—that’s not lashon hara, that’s basic achrayus.
You’re screaming halbanat panim like it’s an absolute while skipping every single exception poskim actually use in cases exactly like this.
Maybe save the lecture for the guy giving photo-ops to genocidal regimes instead of the people pointing it out.
That’s the real chillul, not the reply. 😏
Applying the Fenizia and Kirchmaier study—a narrow analysis of a 12% WFH productivity boost for public sector police workers—to DOGE’s and Trump’s push for office returns and private sector productivity is fuzzy logic. The study lacks private sector comparisons, focuses on specific public roles, and ignores differing incentives, making the leap to federal policy imprecise and potentially misguided without broader, sector-spanning data.
