News / Why has the US dollar reached almost 3.99 zł in Poland? [56]

Would that be PO that abandoned the independent civil service law and proceeded to appoint endless cronies to top positions?

What was that the other day from PiS? Ah yes, the manager of a football stadium is now in charge of one of Poland's biggest companies. You couldn't make it up :D

Funny how you were full of "MAKE FOREIGN COMPANIES PAY TAXES" and now suddenly you're claiming that it's a great investment despite the fact that everyone knows that Daimler are only there because of a massive subsidy.


Indeed, the examples with land, forests and windmills shows that PiS are effectively not to be trusted when it comes to foreign investments.

Forgotten already about how Morawiecki bribed Daimler with huge tax concessions and state aid?

Poland always was in the middle of it. It's pretty obvious that any NATO-Russia war will result in Poland being flattened.

As they should be. There's quite a few tax-dodging scum here who are self-employed in the UK and duck paying a thing to the Polish taxpayer.

USA, Canada / Moving to Poland to immerse my kids in Polish language and culture. What are the experiences of other parents? [10]


Take it from someone with a significant amount of experience in such a school - they will pretend to care, but in reality, it will be a different story. I've seen how it works in reality - the kids struggling with Polish are often simply left to fend for themselves, perhaps with a token effort from a teacher to help them in Polish. How old are your kids?


Couldn't agree more. I can tell you that a lot of them have teachers with thick English accents, the type that you absolutely wouldn't want your kids to pick up in any way. The very very best schools are comparable to a good public school in the Anglosphere, but that's about it. The stories I could tell about some of the more expensive ones...


Could you perhaps take them out of school for a year while at home?

But - is there no Saturday Polish school where you are? They're all over Europe, but I have no idea if it's the same there. If not, maybe you could take a year out of work to establish such a school?

It does indeed seem as if you've been taught. Quite embarrassing, really.

USA, Canada / Moving to Poland to immerse my kids in Polish language and culture. What are the experiences of other parents? [10]


Not really. Poland teaches kids to cheat in schools, teaches them nothing about life and most of all, shows them that their opinion is worthless.


Don't do it. Schools will not help you, even private ones - the kids will struggle, especially as Polish kids are expected to do a lot at home to make up for the relative lack of hours in school.

The best bet would be to get a Polish aupair who preferably doesn't speak English and get her to spend a year with you. The kids will pick up very fast, especially if you ask her specifically to introduce Polish traditions.

Easily : they claim to be Polonia, but present next to no real information except what one can easily find online.

I'm always reminded of a comment you made years ago about working class Polonia food - I don't remember what it was, but it's the kind of insight that our trolls on here don't have, which rather proves that they actually aren't Polonia at all.

Nothing against our genuine Polonia members, but I cannot abide the posters on here that claim some fictitious link to Poland in order to justify what they post.

It's quite interesting how several people here masquerade as Polonia, isn't it?

Indeed. It's a huge world away from the life of the average person that sees "Polonophobia" everywhere, as they rarely see out from under the stairs.

From what I gather, those pushing the "Polonophobia" line hardest are the ones that have miserably failed in life. They're blaming some imaginary "Polonophobia" to justify their own failures.

Feedback / The Cognitive Dissonance and Campaign of Hate by Polonophobes and Other Peddlers of Anti-Polish Propaganda [60]


The difference is that we actually live and work in Poland, unlike your fantasy stories.


Indeed. It's obvious jealousy, nothing more. I notice that the less of a real world connection these posters have, the more they talk about "Polonophobia".

Feedback / The Cognitive Dissonance and Campaign of Hate by Polonophobes and Other Peddlers of Anti-Polish Propaganda [60]


Absolutely. It's a cover story used by racists, nothing more.


Lame to invade a country in collaboration with the Nazis? Yes, very much lame. Probably one of the lamest incidents in Polish history.


What's new? You can read derogatory stereotyping and defamation about Muslims on here daily.


He doesn't really abuse me, and when he does, it's nothing in comparison to the hatred handed out to female posters here.

I've shown you three separate posters that have criticised PiS recently. You claimed none.

Don't worry, I don't expect you to understand anything about Poland, given that you only post on here to abuse and insult women.

Feedback / The Cognitive Dissonance and Campaign of Hate by Polonophobes and Other Peddlers of Anti-Polish Propaganda [60]


Exactly. It's a dreadful view of Poland to the world - those of us living here know that Poland is nothing like the Poland that some of these "patriots" claim.

Feedback / The Cognitive Dissonance and Campaign of Hate by Polonophobes and Other Peddlers of Anti-Polish Propaganda [60]


What topic? It's obvious that anyone pushing the tired old "Polonophobia" line is actually using it as a cover for vile racist abuse towards others.


Poland was also the aggressor on many occasions, as is well documented. The aggression towards Czechoslovakia in 1938 should quite rightfully be called Nazi collusion, because that's what it was.


The term has been written about in terms of how it's used by racists to justify their attitude towards others, yes.


It's not a serious and legitimate topic at all. It's a laughable topic, discussed by people that meet under stairs with tin foil hats on their heads.

Feedback / The Cognitive Dissonance and Campaign of Hate by Polonophobes and Other Peddlers of Anti-Polish Propaganda [60]


Indeed. Perhaps a thread discussing how some members play up some imaginary connection to Poland to justify horrific racial abuse would be interesting, don't you think?

I fail to see how this is anything other than yet another attempt at trolling.

We all know that "Polonophobia" simply doesn't exist except in the minds of the paranoid.

News / Tesco out of Poland? Żabka and Biedronka opportunity. [73]


Doesn't matter what he 'basically' is, the point remains that the owners of the individual franchises tend to be crooks. Żabka certainly doesn't tell franchisees which contracts to use with employees.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Poland tear itself apart in the future. Seems to be a common occurrence here - who needs external enemies when Poles are capable of doing it to themselves?

What's so special about that? I grew up in a country where terrorist attacks were routine and where civilians were often killed. I forget the numbers, but it was at least 2000 over the space of 20-ish years.

Same story across many other industries. A lot of the blatant profiteering and abuse of workers comes from Polish businesses, not foreign-owned ones.

The thing that makes me laugh is that the working conditions in supermarkets are considerably better than in the local Żabka, yet one is owned by foreigners and one is owned by locals. Hmm.

You can opt out, but you can expect considerable pressure in society against you as well. Many doctors will simply refuse to register an unvaccinated child, for instance. It's also regarded by most people (regardless of social status) as being the kind of thing done by morons.

The vast majority of the shops are owned by Poles, they just pay to use the name and distribution network.

No different to KFC in Poland, for instance.

Don't worry Adrian, we already have compulsory vaccinations in Poland and the government is showing no interest whatsoever in changing the situation.

News / Tesco out of Poland? Żabka and Biedronka opportunity. [73]


It's not a Portuguese chain. Are you so long out of Poland that you've lost all concept of how it works? The name and underlying logistics is owned by a British company, however. It's a franchise network. The majority of them are owned and run by Poles, which explains why they're known for using dodgy contracts.


Okay, so let's use some common sense, shall we? Tesco has a huge distribution network, and they buy in huge numbers. They're able to negotiate with suppliers to push prices down as much as possible, which translates into cheaper products on the shelves. Pawel's Sklep on the other hand has no bargaining power, so his prices are higher than in Tesco. But as Pawel's business is small, he can't afford to take the risk of employing people on umowa o pracę because of how much trouble they can cause him. He doesn't have deep pockets like Tesco to fight legal battles - so he uses umowa zlecenie.

Why do you want people to pay higher prices?

It's quite astonishing just how anti-free market all you PiS lovers are.
