Chazaka and Roiv

Can we come back to this for a second? How do chazaka and roiv determine that someone is an amaleki?

I'm not familiar with that site. But the same could be said about any idf soldier who eliminates a terrorist - it "causes" more sinas yisroel. What about all the shoftim? you think their wars/killing caused the plishtim to love us more?

Just got a 1957 dollar bill as change. According to Google it's worth about $2, is it considered Ona'ah if I don't give it back?

@moishebatchy
Taking the Thailand amira la'akum issue to the appropriate thread. This post is meant with the pure desire to reach amisa shel torah, not a personal attack. Please take it as such and respond in kind.

I'm a little confused, it is clear in shulchan aruch that there are two issurim involved in amira la'akum:
1. the tzavaa
2. hana'ah mimleches goy hanaaseh bishvil yisroel
Remiza only removes issue #1. The heter of remiza only exists by things like turning off a light where there is no "hanaah" from the action of the goy, as it's just a removal of light. For anything where there is hanaah mimleches goy, remiza doesn't help as it's not only the tzavaah which is assur.
Your rav is saying it's muttar to do amira laakum on a d'oraisa bmakom tzorech? Or is there another aspect that I am missing?

Many poskim including R Sholomo Zalman hold that electricity is derbanen. As such Amira Lakum is mutter bemakom mitza/oineg shabbos.

See ספר מצות קצר from the חפץ חיים.  I believe it is the last מצות עשה.  I was actually quite surprised that he counts it in his short list of מצות עשה נוגע בזה״ז.

Agreed that most poskim hold electricity is only derabanan. However, I don't believe that explains this psak
1. If in fact elevators only constitute an issur derabanan it should be mutar without remiza (never heard by amira la'akum on a derabanan bamakom oneg shabbos that lechatchila it should be done with remiza).
2. I'm not 100% familiar with how elevators work, but I assume they work similar to a car with combustion, etc. and therefore would be doraisa?

I don't know about remiza.

Elevators can work in several different ways. If an elevator worked like a car, you'd need to take it to a gas station, no?

The weight issues are separate and similar to shabbos elevators.
