Life / Neoliberalism and family formation in Poland [100]

@Paulina
I dont know you, but how you write is simply demonstrative of the problems between men and women today. You think men should GAF about your career goals and your wants, when all men want is peace for their family and security. Women are opportunists and love conditionally and men love unconditionally. Men are willing to die for their families, women simply are not. Your "we'll see" comment is what every feminist uses when going down with her ship. Maybe women should be eqaul to men in the boxing ring too? Maybe women should be drafted into wars? Women are a protected class and real men are an endangered species.

Life / Neoliberalism and family formation in Poland [100]

@Paulina
Thats the point though. It is about securing yourself, and not building a family. Our priorities are different. Men in general are willing to die for their family, to have a family, to provide for wives and children. Women, they are generally more concerned with survival without a husband, or after a husband than actually having a family. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying your view of things is "wrong", I am saying most men dont share the feamal feminist views, and that is a huge problem not just for relationships, but for the world. Most men want traditional roles, most women think that they are outdated, and men will never change their minds on this. Men think with genetic predisposition to these traditional roles, women want to have some social construct that simply defies the laws of nature.

Women are graduating more than men in the US for two reasons. Male enrolment is down, and trade school enrolment is up. Men are also leading the startups in the US, and you dont need a degree for that, just a good idea and some startup money. Men are more prone to take chances.

As for my observations in Poland, they are really mostly based on what I see daily in Krakow. We have a lot of interaction with people, and I would say more on that but some people like to take information here and use it to go after people personally. My observations may be statiscally wrong, but they are my observations based on what my wife, myself, and our friends see.

Life / Neoliberalism and family formation in Poland [100]

@Paulina.
Based on living in the US for 50 years, and dealing with women from all walks of life there. There are less barriers to education in Poland and that is a big advantage. As for Poland, most of the men I know, or have met, stopped at an under grad degree, and most women have masters or PHD. As for the pay gap in Poland I understand this being nearly non existent since I have been employing people here for six years, and know who asks for how much and what we pay them. Little difference if any.

Travel / How to get Polish entry/exit stamps in passport when entering the Schengen area in a country other than Poland [12]

@jclhol
If you do not enter into Poland from outside the Schengen area, you will not get a stamp. The passport stamp for residency only takes place when you have your in person meeting and give your finger prints. The last time I did that was a few years ago, but the wait time in Krakow was about eight months.

What else sounds familiar? Experimental vacinations? Restricted travel unless proof of vaccination sounds a lot like wearing an arm band with a star on it. You cant work without proof of vaccination? Sounds a lot like you have to join the Nazi party to have a job. And then years later, as in today, science says young people should have not been vaccinated, and people who refused to get a jab lost their jobs and cannot get them back.

Maybe we should make everyone equal? No wealthy people, no poor, no property rights? Everyone gets a basic income and works for the State? How about redrawing district lines to create more power for your party when assembling government? What about the "Democratic" government being caught censoring social media and paying Twitter millions to do it? Those documents are now public, and FaceBook has admitted they took money for campaign adds that were full of lies.

Trump was an a$$hole and terrible speaker for the office. But he never started a war, or class warfare like Biden has. Trump did not weaponise law enforcement like Biden has with selective prosecutions. Under Biden the prices of buying a home in the US have doubled in three years. Interest rates are sky high. Biden claims creation of jobs, when all that happened was that the people who were out of work due to COVID returned to work. The whole Democratic platform is a lie.

Respectfully, the conspiracy theory of COVID coming from a Wuhan Lab was pretty much confirmed by the CIA saying it is more likely that it came from the lab than an outdoor market. And yes, Americans in general dont trust the government, and with good reason. The CIA and NSA were spying on Americans in the United States for years illegally and they admitted to it. There are countless other reasons as well. Anyone trusting any government is simply foolish.

@Miloslaw
Respectfully, Poland doesn't have near enough military to protect itself against anyone yet. With 200K active military, 20K deployed to NATO and 350K in reserves, that barely exceeds the number of Russians in Ukraine and on the Russian/Ukraine border. Russia could easily mobilize another million in a matter of weeks. PiS did well signing contracts, but next to nothing has been delivered.

The EU needs a united and huge military to deter any further agression. Only then will Russia and everyone else take the EU seriously on defense.

Poland has done a great job buying equipment for a war, but the numbers of soldiers being trained is not enough. Bodies fighting win wars, not equipment sitting in storage because there is no one to operate it.

Germany has the production capability to really make things happen. Why they are not, is simply not explainable.

News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [559]

This could very well be the beginning of WW3. If things escalate in the middle east, or if one of those idiots from Iran or under their control sinks a US ship, Tehran will be lit up like never before. If Israel doesnt stop killing civilians it could easily get way out of control. Thankfully though, no money for Ukraine means no money for Israel too. WW1 started with an assasination, and a month later bombs were being dropped. WW2 started with some people not paying attention to little Adolf, and then millions died. If we dont pay attention to the little things going on in the world, WW3 could break out tomorrow.

USA, Canada / Staying in the USA - do I need work visa to apply? [95]

First and foremost, any "checks" or "cheques" cashed become property of the bank or are retrned to the business that wrote them. It would be impossible to keep a "check" written on another person or company account. A pay stub would be possible which would provide tax information, gorss pay and net pay information.

Work permits cannot be applied for once in the United States, they must be applied for prior to arrival. This kind of visa would be an H2B most likely due to the temporary nature of the work. Anything long term over a year would require a different visa. I know because I do visa applications for clients all the time in the US and throught Europe.

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

@Poloniusz
But it is the women, who after all their battles for equal rights, want to allow men (trans freaks) to compete in womens sport, be regonized as women in the workplace and every other idiotic pretend rights. It is these same WOKE women who want to absolutely destroy the special place women have in society. The world has a mental disease called WOKEISM and I am afraid it has infected women to the point where they do not break the infection until they realise they are tool old to have the kids they just now realize they want to have. And then you have declining birth rates and depressed women.

Law / Staying In Poland Waiting For Karta Pobytu and Consequences [8]

@Maximus2023
This is incorrect. As long as you have proof you have filed for Temporary Residency, EU and Polish law allows for travel between Poland and your home country. Any other European or UK passport control unit will know this law. That said, if you are traveling outside of the two countries your residency application defines, there are no protections, and it is at the discretion of the transit country.

@Korvinus
The coalition parties not going as one block was absolutely stupid. They left the door open for PiS to keep this $hit show going for potentially three months. Duda should have some balls for a change and do whats right for the country and nominate Tusk. Duda cant run again, and he has an opportunity to become his own man and not a JK puppet. CMS is right, if PiS messes around too much, an early election would likely be even worse for PiS. Stalling is bad for Poland, and would just be more proof that PiS didnt GAF about anyone but themselves. Their financial policies are a disaster for Poland and it will take decades to undo the damage.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

@pawian
While I appreciate you remembering those words, this new government is not settled yet and that concerns me. Already too many discussions on who should control what, and no real statements on what they will be doing. This is immature politics and more battling for control, which is no better than PiS in my opinion. If this return to the entrepreneur test returns it is bad for the country. If something is not done about ZUS it is bad for the country.

This group of parties should have had all of their appointments and positions already discussed and agreed to before the election. There should have been no window for Duda to make the statement that there are two groups claiming a majority. Pressure on Duda could have been leveraged, and he would have looked terrible for not leting this new government organize prior to the next session of the sejm.

That said, I also fear, when the new government gets into the real records of spending and graft, that Poland is in much deeper $hit financially than we could imagine.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

That really is a striking map of results. Showing how divided the country is on the PiS platform. I think this really shows who, as in groups of people, benefit the most from PiS policies. The new government has a short period of time to get things right. Spring local elections are already being talked about.

PiS appointee's are in deep $hit. The head of Orlen probably needs to leave the country. This guy is simply criminal. PiS is also now said to be looking to sell off the media companies Orlen purchased before the new government controls them. I hope the new government keeps its promises and does not mess with the social welfare programs, but finds a way to pay for them. The PiS system of placing party loyalists in power and paying them incredible sums of money really looks like the Putin style of government and oligarchism. Poland is in real trouble financially, and this new government needs to figure out something pretty quickly. ZUS is going to be a problem.

And now we know that all those efforts and limitations illegally placed on people did nothing. Sweden proved every idiot scientist on the planet wrong. Florida proved them wrong. And now all the former conspiracy theorists are proven right about MNRA. Even the guy who first developed MNRA is now saying it should not be used for COVID. All the heart damage to young people, and no one can sue because it was experimental vaccine. Yet this experimental vaccine, if you didnt take it, coould have cost you your job, limited your movement or any other list of issues. I got vaccinated, and booster one. Got COVID three times after. Anyone supporting people who support this kind of behavior should be shipped to another planet.

The problem is that there are now peer reviewed studies that show the masks did nothing. The lockdowns did nothing. The economies of the world were ruined because people made up science as they went along and nothing was based on facts. The facts now prove, with Pfizer admission, that the vacines are not safe and produce heart confitions, particularly in young men. The facts are that people were manipulated by fascists who wanted control and they gave in to the propaganda even more quickly than Germans did to Hitler.
