Should this one be filled under the most meaningless rankings in the world?

Seriously? AA at #2 and KE close to the bottom?

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I know they are crazy, but I thought N.K, which hates Israel for not being frum keep things like shabbos. Is there an eruv in downtown London, or where ever the BBC is that these types are fine to rely on?

Did they leave their signs there before shabbos...and it somehow did not get lost or taken away?

I know Jews tend to keep quiet but how come we don't see more people in the religious world speaking up and saying these aren't views we agree with?

You lend credibility to them by engaging, most people look at them as fringe fanatics

We do. Most people in our community know they are nuts. I meant for the outside world.
A  part of me feels like we should speak up and say, these aren't our people.
I don't know....

Good point about being more vocal that they aren't ours, but I thought they would at least keep Shabbos. I recall a few years ago about how they were demonstrating in Manhattan on friday night after nightfall with signs. Pretty crazy that people who hate Israel for religious reasons are involved with eisurei skilah.

What's your opinion on Disney+? I personally don't think it will make any significant difference to Netflix. Neither do I think that they will be very successful.

The article makes a compelling argument.  What's your opinion based on?

Quote
Researchers surveyed 1,000 college-educated adults across America and found that 37% of women did not understand the basics of student loans — which are things like timelines, monthly payments, interest rates, tax implications, refinancing and evaluating lenders, before they borrowed — versus only 20% of men.

“One of the factors contributing to this divide is the education gap between men and women,” Laurel Road SVP of Capital Markets Noah Cooper told Yahoo Finance. “Men were more likely to understand common finance terminology, retirement savings, and the ins and outs of investing.”

Well, well, well. Men and women may be different after all.
