Similar to the finance minister claiming Israel's relatively light recession was due to its massive government support of the kollel phenomenon within.

Think of how much more money they would have lost if they hadn't kept Shabbat. Perhaps it is punishment for the story a few weeks ago, where the plane landed and deplaned before Shabbat but not enough time for the passengers to get home.

Kind of reminds me of the IKEA executive who said how lucky they were no one got hurt when the store burned down because they kept Shabbat. Perhaps if they were open someone would have noticed the fire. What is the message when your store burns down from rain?

'Knowing' Gods system of justice is apikores and dangerous. Building foundations of belief system on something that can be torn down so easily is a great way to expose your belief system as a complete fraud.

Flying out one hour after Shabbes means you don't keep it, since workers were checking people in on Shabbes...I'm not knocking them for not flying on Shabbes, but they never fully kept it. That said, it is kfirah to say that a person gets what he desreves in this world. They did not make money because they kept Shabbes. Anyone who keeps Shabbes gets a mitzva credited to him, period. Some who keep Shabbes are poor, some who don't are rich.
