wrong
some are built privately
for example a2 swiecko-konin that was built with private money
(and a little bit of eu cash
for example the poznan bypass)
they arent robbing taxpayers because they didnt get taxpayer money

the ones that the gddkia built and are public
some are tolled
but these tolls are solely to pay for maintenance
which is why the tolls are much lower
i really dont think 16zl from wroclaw to katowice is a bad deal
especially given the lack of vignettes or road taxes

get your facts right

two years in today's eu
no reason whatsoever
i also wonder why she is applying for first line work
if shes so experienced and qualified


i only know a little thing
but i know ibm are famous for promoting people into obscurity
you get a nice title office travel car etc
but you actually have a non job
and people end up leaving because of it

strange company strange practices

News / Characterizing Poland's political parties [33]

it would be a great read
if it wasnt totally incorrect

Poland as a state was falling to pieces by 1981
the police state was barely functioning
and by the mid 80s
there was effectively a state within a state as the people simply ignored the authorities
east Germany was far more repressed than Poland by that point
the murder of one priest does not make a police state

i only know one thing
i trust warszawski more than i trust foreigners with no connection to poland
people who left 20 years ago
and those who quite simply fight wars with their keyboards

UK, Ireland / Is there actually anything cheaper in Poland than in UK? [51]


anyone with an ounce of common sense knows exactly
how to deal with those 'inspectors'

dont open the door
dont talk
dont negotiate
dont say anything


really not
in winter months
6-7pln is normal

UK, Ireland / Why are Brits so left-wing? [60]

hardly
the vatican is perhaps a great example of socialism in practice
in theory theres equality
in reality the higher one progresses
the richer one gets

the european elite isnt particularly wealthy

perhaps you have problems understanding them
but i and many others dont

a quick read of some history books
might help

for what its worth
i dont recognise the poland that you talk about
i think
a lot of it is in your head

you dont have entry level jobs in greece?
no wonder the country is ruined if everyone wants to be managers
and not workers


as i said
poland has a steep career path society
prove yourself and you can earn 10x that

News / Characterizing Poland's political parties [33]


the problem is that the graph doesnt really take into account things such as PO having quite a few centre-left politicans who wouldnt go near the SLD

or PiS having some members who are far more in PO territory
it is insanely difficult to categorise polish politics due to the awkward positions of parties
even the SLD can be quite right wing in some economic areas

the thing is
the more people like you say these things
the more people will vote RP


indeed
RP is something totally new in Poland
a party untainted with the past
a party that stands for here and now
and most of all
a party that stands for personal and economic freedom
it says it all that RP won seats in virtually every electoral district
including PiS heartlands


says you
an unemployed canadian
who has done nothing for poland
come back when youve done more than post right wing rubbish on polishforums


exactly
i think we all know that RP filled a gap in polish politics
a party that was willing to say what they thought
and not for pr reasons

i think its also notable that RP were the only party to stand up against bonuses for public officials in times of austerity
where was legend's beloved PiS?
thats right
they were getting rich off the back of poor people
hypocrites

UK, Ireland / Is there actually anything cheaper in Poland than in UK? [51]


really

i dont recall finding good quality meat at anything near polish prices in germany
i dont recall being able to get things made or fixed at a very reasonable cost
i dont recall being able to travel across half of western european countries for a reasonable price
the list goes on


i saw
but i wonder how long it will last
the government doesnt support the fee after all


i suggest you start by looking up the statistics on how many people are rent/mortgage free

then again
you left poland years ago
what would you know

UK, Ireland / Is there actually anything cheaper in Poland than in UK? [51]


entertainment is quite a lot cheaper
for instance
i have a lightning fast internet connection (100mbps, soon to be 250mbps) for around 60zl a month
you will not find that in the uk
and it is uncapped
uk intenet connections are normally capped at a ridiculous low amount of bandwidth

News / THE PARTYS OVER... NO MORE EUROS FOR POLAND'S ROADS [71]

what on earth are you talking about
poland was incredibly poor during the 90's and had no money for building roads! they had barely enough money to keep people alive at even sort-of european standards yet alone building motorways!!!

a lot was built between 2004 and the present day
and if poland gets built what they have planned for the next budget cycle
the country will be almost complete
it is an incredible transformation
and done without resorting to vignettes or road tax

why did you apply for a first line position then

UK, Ireland / Is there actually anything cheaper in Poland than in UK? [51]


are they really
remember poland has rapid increases in income as you get promoted
wroclaw is quite a wealthy city
with average salaries well over 4000zl a month


i would love to know where you can buy a bag of fresh vegetables for the price that you can in poland
or meat for that matter

what you also need to understand is that poles have much more disposable income than british people
many young people are now inheriting flats
with no mortgage

UK, Ireland / Why are Brits so left-wing? [60]

the indy isnt lefty at all
if it was they wouldnt constantly discuss hideously expensive things that ordinary people have no hope of buying

russian is a beautiful language
ukrainian too

then again
anything would be better than dole scum english

i asked around a while ago about this
anyone that moved house between 2005-today didnt bother to inform them about the new address

Real Estate / Astounded by the poor value of residential property here in Wroclaw [92]

exactly
home ownership is very high in poland
combined with the housing market being very distorted as a result of post 1989 reforms
you get high rents for small flats

Work / I'M SO SURPRISED BY THIS SALARY FOR IBM in WROCLAW 3000 ZL gross [135]


why is it a shame
poland has a culture of rapid pay rises with promotion
its a first level job
nothing that actually requires much skill


dunno which shopping malls you visit
perhaps youd like to tell me
lets say wroclaw
i dont remember seeing any empty units in magnolia dominikanska korona grunwalska

obviously another lie


has it
i dont think so

as my name says
i smell nonsense

if it had tanked
i would be buying in cash with pleasure
except it hasnt

tell the postman to get lost

and food is dramatically cheaper in poland in most cases
fresh food that is
processed rubbish is more expensive

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]



unlikely

very unlikely
not least because scots were made up of three large groups

or do i need to give you a history lesson about people such as saucy mary

you are pure dole scum

it wouldnt be in anyones interest to block it
how much money is sucked up by unproductive small farms
sometimes in very fertile places

Real Estate / Astounded by the poor value of residential property here in Wroclaw [92]

one thing that inwroclaw isnt taking into account
small flats are expensive in poland
as in most of the world
it really isnt much more money to rent a large flat than a small one
it might be 2000zl for a small flat
but 2500zl for a much bigger one

maximum
they know they can get a fresh supply every year of unemployed 'humanitistic' graduates
why pay more?

this is why i think wroclaw
is built on very uncertain foundations

UK, Ireland / Why are Brits so left-wing? [60]


well yeah
for a start
england is in political union with three other countries

Life / Foreigners in Poland - the identities of our native or the host country [66]


given that the eu has directly subsidised many of the poorest members of polish society
they really shouldnt complain
