Wal-Mart coming to Poland?

The whole tax breaks and subsidy thing is just ridiculous.Couple of years ago Opel (GM) demanded subsidy from Polish taxpayers to keep Gliwice factory open.I read somewhere that they wanted 1 M PLN per 1 workplace.No żesz kurwa go mać.Am I supposed to pay them for a "privilege" of working?Get the **** out.Luckily ryży chuj Tusk didn't give them any money.

Yea they get a 10 year tax break, after that time if they don't get it for another 10 years they pack their stuff and leave. Poles should just be happy they're hiring them. Meanwhile they're stealing and cheating at every corner.

I could tell similar tales about where I live. But then you turn around and next thing you know they're building yet another new strip mall shopping center because it must be in demand. They wouldn't risk the investment if it wasn't.

Things change, ebb and flow, the pendulum swings... If the free market is permitted to decide sooner or later it all equals out and balance is achieved.

except when it comes to walmart, free market is never really free. i'm all for free market, but you can't have unfair competition. walmart making the taxpayers shoulder a lot of its responsibilities for the healthcare of their workers, the infrastructure of the towns, and the impact on the environment simply creates unfair competition. the cost of cheap t-shirts and cheap food is really high.

and if you think they can't ship milk or produce from china, you're deeply mistaken.
i just hope Poland has regulations against lead, toxins and antibiotics in their milk....

No work of social criticism is complete without a drive-by shooting aimed at Walmart *rolling eyes*

You already showed your hypocrisy when you admitted to enjoying the free market freedoms you do but would deny the very same to Poles.


Lol. Yep. Yet another thing the Left is in goosestep about.

are you kidding, they don't have laws against sexual harassment in a workplace yet, but I'm sure the lead and toxins in their food are soon to be next on the agenda though... in about 10 years or so, maybe, right after after they get over their homophobia and wide spread bigotry.

like I said, I don't think the free market is going to suffer if Poland has no Walmart stores. it hasn't had any so far, and yet the western civilization survived somehow... unless you're saying that a country cannot be properly capitalistic without a walmart, LOL!!

if so, there's the first piece of social criticism in this thread for you, and it hasn't come from me.

if you and bzi think walmart is such a great effing company, why don't you go work there??? i mean, they're great for local communities, right? and they have management jobs or something? I bet this is the last place in the world you'd send your resume.

so who is being hypocritical now?

Umm, no. If I were poor and unemployed and there were no jobs I would be thrilled that a big new WM was coming to town and would be right there in line to apply. I'd be running the stock crew in no time.

Stop wiggling, hypocrite.

oh, I see, so it's just jobs for the poor, unskilled, barely literate, maladjusted to the society, unintelligent, socially challenged, ____(fill in the blank) that walmarts offer to the local population. I'm sure that's exactly what Poland needs right now. but hey, at least you can spend your minimum wage paycheck on cheap food and flannel shirts there, right?

that's just a f*ckin great opportunity for Poland, isn't it?

Beats the homelessness and going to bed hungry any day.

oh, I remember a whole thread going on about how NOBODY is poor in Poland. surprise, surprise, there are enough poor and desperate people to staff a couple of walmarts... who would have suspected that

They need jobs too to get them off the dole.

so now we're away from the "great economic opportunity for communities" to "someone needs to employ our unemployed and homeless"

if there is anything that walmart is good at, it's employing the elsewhere unemployable. now, I understand that science is all devil's mumbo-jumbo to you, but earlier today I pointed out the fact that the net job creation by walmarts is actually negative. so people lose retail jobs, albeit low-skilled and poorly paid, by being forced out by walmart, only to be "saved" from indigence by the same walmart to be given an even sh*ttier and less-paying jobs.

And this is partly why your study was crap. If a WM comes to town and as a result three shops close displacing say 60 workers, and WM hires 200, how does this result in a net negative job creation? I'll answer it for you: Of course it doesn't.

People of Walmart:

Polish shoppers:



Hm...yea...you know I just DON'T see it happening...

I mean these would be their only customers...

I guess you will never know until you work for WM. I have a buddy who works for one, he is a night shift supervisor. He's Polish too. **** he told me about you would never believe in bro. trust me they are the pure evil.

You mean Jews?This dude looks like a Jew.

What is up with you and your Jew hating statements? They're just people like us.

walmart a f u c k e n china mafia operation

How was my post a "hating statement"?And no,they may be people like you but surely not like me.Actually I am not surprised to learn that you are a Jew it perfectely explains your anti Polish posts.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Starbucks. I just took a quick look inside. I wanted to compare the Warsaw location, to the ones in the United States. My sis wanted to go there. She had purchased a Starbucks coffee mug, written with Polish words. It as a gift for her husband.

To my surprise, Starbucks was pretty dead for a Saturday evening. While we were there, I only noticed one other customer present.

hmm? I don't know maybe the


quote did it.

Do you hate blacks as well, they tend to shop at walmart a lot too and also Polish immigrants favor it because of all the discounts they offer.

I am only pointing out that marketing for Jews in Poland is a recipe for financial disaster.See,70 or so years ago there was a holocaust or something like that (I don't know the details) in Poland and all the Polish Jews dissapeared somewhere.

And what's wrong with pointing out that someone is a Jew?I thought you guys are proud to be Jews.Your comments are anti semitic and if I didn't know you are a Jew I would think that you are some kind of Nazi or something.

Yet more wrong information from you. After all, alcoholics shouldn't be considered to be any sort of authority on Polish law.

Polish laws about sexual harrassment are actually very strong - I know several cases where companies have had to pay out a lot of money for such events.

It's also utter bollocks: TGI Friday isn't even a good restaurant of its type and in its price bracket. But I guess a person would have to actually have been to Poland in order to know that, unless, of course, they had more than two brain cells.

Poland doesn't need WalMart...The United States doesn't need WalMart.

Wal-Mart is bad. No one needs it. Blah.

they already got enough big super stores in poland if they bring walmart in i hope it fails
fukkkkkkkkk big corps trying to invade everything

Fifteen (or maybe even ten?) years ago this would be a major story. But now? Meh.

There's no innovation or change here as they would merely be taking over already existing stores of the same kind and won't be bringing much (or anything) new to the mix.
