Changed years ago. Wholesalers presort. But still true that retailers can and do sort again and inflate
And then the retailers re-sort

I stopped buying an esrog, same reason I dont use a chicken for kaparos, became a price gouging business with fighting, exploitation and what not

You won't send your kids to Jewish school because well the schools are animals. Your don't but esrog because price gouging. I'm assuming you don't buy a seat on the high holidays? Don't eat at kosher establishments because the hechsharim and ripping the restaurant off? I'm sure this list goes on

Short version; Yeshiva didn't provide enough toilet paper. A bochur decided that since it's the yeshiva's responsibility he is not going to buy his own, and if there isn't enough he won't use...

Moral of the story, he's 100% right but who was smelled?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

The guy never davened, learnt, made a bracha, put in tefillin, ect, again; because the yeshiva didn't provide enough TP?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

If not for the davening and learning you'd be ok with it?
If you don't care why would you comment?

The child did not stop crossing the street as the car was speeding towards him because he felt he was right, he was DEAD right!
