Anyone in NJ get the 600 per week retroactively? Do I have to call in or is that just for reg UI?

Just Shmooze / Re: The Future of Lakewood
« on: June 25, 2020, 10:38:53 AM »I voted for HH last time. This time I voted against him for 2 reasons.Going against the establishment in any community requires great wisdom and an advisor with "breite pleitzes". He does not seem at this point to have any of that. Anyone who writes against Rabbonim in ANY venue, let alone a non-Jewish one has lost all sense of perspective.
1 - I don't think he will be able to change anything, and will only make a ruckus, enough to bring great shame to the Ortho community.
2 - He's said and written alot of things since the last time he ran, that showed him to be a sore loser. He's written an op-ed in a Howell non-Jewish newspaper against the Rabonim of Lakewood. I don't think he has the judgement to serve in office. If it was someone else I would vote for him.

General Discussion / Re: POLL: Wedding expenses in the frum Community - BH for simchos? or out of hand?
« on: June 13, 2020, 11:33:12 PM »First off, if you think that people in our community, especially children and young adults, have enough of an understanding of money, finances, savings, and what it takes to make enough money to pay for the things they expect, then I think you are either an idiot or just woefully unaware of how people actually live.This is not particular to our communities. It occurs in many middle or upper-middle class communities, as well.
Second of all, I wasn't advocating for financial literacy courses, that's a stupid idea that will teach a few guys in more modern yeshivos a little bit more about finances, that doesn't really solve anything. If you actually read all my posts from today you would have seen that I was saying that parents don't do enough of a job giving their kids an understanding of what it actually costs them to pay for the things they are coming to take for granted. And if you think there isn't a sense of entitlement among young people in our community, especially when it comes to paying for them to get married and start a life together, then I refer you back to paragraph one.

« on: June 12, 2020, 01:38:27 PM »Okay, why does that change anything? Do you really think that the BD did not think of that possibility?Don't know if they did, but would they be required to lose that money more than the parents?

« on: June 11, 2020, 10:38:37 PM »-1 not sure which camp you went to. But most summers, camps have the local PD show up for loud noise at night, cars parked on the road etc... If the governor clearly states that sleep away camps can't open. You dont need the FBI, you have neighbors that will gladly call and report you. Most of them dont want you there on a regular year.This seems to be why they don't have permission to open. Big pressure from the locals.

« on: June 11, 2020, 07:18:41 PM »They need the money that all the Jewish people donate to Cuomo year after year and they continue to do even after rent control. But at this point all the politicians know that no matter what they do the money will still pour in, so they aren’t really worried about alienating anyone.Seems to be pure politics at this point.
