Crazy devil's advocate option being thrown out here just to poke the discussion bear a bit ;) Lessons to grow the population: early marriage, strong norms, and child-friendly public life. Want more kids? Make kids feel welcome everywhere. https://worksinprogress.co/issue/chabad-life/ Also...

Makes sense. Likely true in general, but I figured some “issue management” folks may have gotten a head’s up when the appeal was first filed as part of a bureaucrat’s very broad duty of preventing as many surprises for the higher up’s as possible. I guess it also depends on the...
