If you have to have health insurance before moving to Poland, rest assured, multiculturalism will be kept in check. Immigrants like to move where there's benefits from the state.

What is so disastrous about multi culturism? It's never led anyone down the path of ruin. It only becomes a self fulfilling prophecy if you let it. Don't view it as evil or it will become that!
Anyone ever hear of the power of positive thinking?

Believe it or not, there's ethnically whole communities in America. The first one that comes to mind are Latinos. They take over entire sections of cities kind of like Italians used to. Asians tend to spread out among caucasians more.

News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]
We had a tiny Wal Mart before, which is why I differentiated between Wal Mart and Wal Mart Super Center. Every Wal Mart in this test market has growth around it. Not just this one. Throughout the metro area. Wal Mart can be part of overall economic well being. It provides people with low prices and when Wal Mart SC first came, the quality of the food was higher, prices lower, and variety greater. They provided a service to our community. Now, with so much competition, local chains have become better than Wal Mart, adding to our quality of life. YES they compete against Wal Mart and are quite successful. It is possible to have free enterprise with the mighty giant.
It has happened here time and time again :)
Sure, Wal Mart weeded out the weak, but made other places better. The consumer is the winner!
Our city has made more off Wal Mart Sales tax revenue than Wal Mart has made off the city.
Not just that but managerial jobs. Some of the jobs have higher salaries. A fraction are low.
About the look of the Wal Mart shopper, it depends on where you go. Where I live, everyone shops at Wal Mart SC regardless of how they look. A Wal Mart SC in a poorer community has a lower economic status consumer because of location.
If you are seeing the uglies, ItsAllAboutMe, it might be because you are shopping in a store that's in a slum?
They have selecting locations for their stores down to a science.

Once Walmart got the news, they probably negotiated a very good deal with the city, that again involved some taxpayer money, on setting up shop there.

This tends to happen when you have a lot of low-skilled jobs available all of a sudden.

I already typed Wal Mart is not a great place to work. Wal Mart provides only a tiny fraction of the retailing jobs in my community. But, because of them, we have so many more retailers, restaurants, movie theatre, etc, which do provide better jobs than Wal Mart. Without that Wal Mart taking the initial risk, they wouldn't be here.
did they pay for the medicare for the walmart employees who don't have insurance? did they pay for the damage to the infrastructure?

Wal Mart Super Center has helped my town substantially by providing enough tax revenue to the city allowing them to give tax breaks to companies like Target adding to growth. It hasn't hurt us at all. The amount of jobs brought by the retailers combined is enormous. You wouldn't believe it! Anyone who criticizes Wal Mart on this point needs to visit this community and then decide. Talk to the mayor of this town.

Actually, Wal Mart can create a HUGE amount of economic prosperity and my suburb is proof of that. We were built up by Wal Mart. It attracted millions if not billions of dollars of businesses that have mushroomed around it. If it were not for this Wal Mart, this town would not have nearly as many retailers as it does now. It's a myth that Wal Mart devastates communities.
Wal Mart came, made a lot of money. Investors saw how much then wanted to invest in businesses around the Wal Mart and that's how the billion dollar boom started.

Working for Wal Mart isn't as dandy as shopping there. Wal Mart is a hideous place to work. Saying Wal Mart will hire a lot of people in Poland might not be such a great thing.
As for those Mom and Pop shops, a lot of times their food is stale and their prices are high. That's the real reason they cannot compete.

Yes, but someone has got to pay the military.
Ultimately, they would have to keep invading to get more money.

However, In the long term Nazis would have likely bottomed out economically ( Iam talking if WW2 never happened) Socialism always stagnates & bottom's out.

Nazis were socialists, hence the name socialists workers party. They did have a lot of social programs though how they could manage financially with their wars and expansionism, when Germany had been in fiscal crisis only a short time earlier is something I cannot explain.
Probably has to do with them confiscating property and possessions. Part of their impetus was financing social programs.

That's how it was in America years ago and we had poverty and suffering so the government started social programs. Old people were left out in the cold, hungry and penniless. Are you sure you really want to live in this type of society? Do you really want to go back in time? Do you really believe things were better back then than they are now? I don't.
