Stupid law. It was sterilized from the original version, and can end up backfiring.
Stupid is not the word that came to mind. What did the original version look like?

I'm not saying the original version was good, nor did I read the bill in its entirety in its current version or previous version. But from reading comments of some MKs whose opinions and analysis I value, it seems like the law in its current version could potentially backfire depending on the interpretation of the supreme court, which is a known bastion of "progressives" and haters of Jewish law and tradition.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-26/facebook-growth-prospects-stalled-by-scandal-regulation

"After the earnings report, executives worked to explain the potential of Facebook’s other properties, not just the main social network, to fuel growth. The company owns three other properties with more than 1 billion users: WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram. Together, the entire Facebook suite of products has 2.5 billion unique monthly users, the company disclosed for the first time."

2.5 billion!!
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

https://skift.com/2018/07/26/alaska-airlines-made-a-costly-loyalty-mistake-by-offering-too-many-free-seats/

I remember clearly when this happened. Must of been mentioned on DDF somewhere though I cannot find the thread.

AA was stingy as ever with seats on transcon flights and with AS/VX merger, they were flooded with availability on all ex-VX routes.

Why didn't he just get a permit?
From the Organizer of the Event- Klal Yisrael is facing a great challenge today - the anti-semitism we have faced and the oppression we are facing now all stems from an anti Semitic comment made by Town Supervisor Ed Sykes after Ian Leifer received permission to host this event from the building inspector Jim McElroy. Ed Sykes said after permission was granted by the building inspector - “You must have thumbed your nose at the town because you are Jewish” - the ensuing lawsuit resulted because of Ed Sykes anti-Semitic comment- he is behind all of the harassment and legal affairs. It is times like this, that Klal Yisrael needs to unite for social justice against corruption and the enemies of the Jewish people. We ARE moving forward with the event - and have alternative parking alongside the road at 341 Swiss Hill Road North, Jeffersonville, NY 12748. Additional alternative parking is being obtained - and we are asking all guests to come and take part in the event in protest of the injustice that has come upon us. If not now, when? When the Jewish people forgo their doubts and stand up for truth - HaShem is with them. We are Am Yisrael - and it is moments like these that define who we are as a people. All aspects of the event are in place and will move forward as planned - the only thing we are
missing is your presence here, and your support. There are already 100 people+ here that are taking a stand - will you be part of this cause? We need YOU and the event will go on with you. Three holy tzaddikim in our time have all urged us to go forward with this event - Come now- the catered food will be here as planned, all services and all acts will take place as planned. COME- they can try to hurt the few, but they cannot the many. We have overwhelming support and many more people are coming now then ever before to stand up for our right to celebrate our love for G-d. Stay alert to our posts - we will keep you updated.

So he blames it on anti-Semitism. Why doesn't he follow the law and get a permit?

This morning my local grocery store ran out of milk. I issued the following statement:

Klal Yisrael is facing a great challenge today - the anti-semitism we have faced and the oppression we are facing now all stems from an anti Semitic comment made by the store owner, <Name redacted> after Yehuda57  received assurances there would be milk from the manager, <name redacted>. After the assurance was given, he said, "He must not have seen our stock fridge." It is times like this, that Klal Yisrael needs to unite for social justice against corruption and the enemies of the Jewish people. We ARE moving forward with breakfast and have alternative almond milk. Additional alternative milk is being obtained from the grocery store across the street which Yehuda57 was too lazy to guy buy initially. We are asking all guests to come and take part in the breakfast in protest of the injustice that has come upon us. If not now, when? When the Jewish people forgo their doubts and stand up for truth - HaShem is with them. We are Am Yisrael - and it is moments like these that define who we are as a people. All aspects of the breakfast are in place and will move forward as planned - the only thing we are missing is your presence here, and your support. There are already 100 people+ here that are taking a stand - will you be part of this cause? We need YOU and the breakfast will go on with you. Three holy tzaddikim in our time have all urged us to go forward with this event - Come now- the cereal will be here as planned, all services and all acts will take place as planned. COME- they can try to hurt the few, but they cannot the many. We have overwhelming support and many more people are coming now then ever before to stand up for our right to celebrate our love for G-d. Stay alert to our posts - we will keep you updated.

UPDATE 12:00PM ET:Ian Leifer now claims this is “Anti-Semitism” and that “Klal Yisrael is facing a great challenge today”. The post goes on to say that “three (unnamed) holy tzaddikim (righteous men) in our time have all urged us to go forward with this event”.

The Facebook post does not mention if these three Tzadikim were asked about anything else regarding the event. 🙃
