Fascinating. I've often wondered if some of the laws of the Bible have positive effects we don't know about. For example, we now know that the edict to wash one's hands before eating has numerous health benefits and helped Jews survive some of the worst plagues in history.
I also remember attending a lecture long ago where the speaker claimed to be part of a scientific study on the wearing of the talit which is worn during morning prayers. He described numerous benefits which I can no longer remember. I tried to look them up online but this speech was long before the internet.
I did find this similar study though I don't know how reliable the source is:
This is nothing new. Look at Bayer $BAYN and all the other German companies that got huge by using slave Jewish labor during the Holocaust. Even $IBM profited from the Nazi's by helping them to be more efficient when killing Jews.
All companies really care about is their bottom line. In 99% of instances, any company being "kind" has only done so after doing an analysis and seeing that the positive PR benefits outweigh the costs.
Many of my friends had their entire portfolios nearly wiped out when the economy crashed. They've been reluctant to jump back in even though the market is up. It's the "fool me once..." mentality.
