No longer possible.
Except for the most basic repairs, car owners can no longer repair their own cars.
Unless they are very old.
when I read car fora, I see that some guys are still able to repair their advanced cars at home

Bread is Polish if it is Polish bread.
Potatoes are never Polish.

Yeah, for me, the old Polish Commies were just as bad as German Nazis or Russian Commies.
Probably worse, because they were traitors too.

I have been to Poland countless times.
Never lived or worked there, but besides holidays, spent long periods with family all over the country.
Western Poland is more affluent than Eastern Poland.
But I think large parts of Southern Poland is very affluent too.
I think you are wrong to equate affluence and perhaps insinuate educational levels with how people vote.
They tried to do that in The UK about the Brexit vote and it has backfired big time.
I think that how people vote goes much deeper than affluence and education.

Whilst I think this thread is interesting I am a bit concerned about your motives for starting it.
All partitions powers erected various structures in their zones, many of which are put to a good use today

I have profited from cheap Polish workers,cheap Slowaks,cheap Romanians,cheap Bulgarians and cheap Indians.
Doesn't mean I think it is right.
I don't believe in governments imposing a minimum wage either, because now, that is all that is on offer.
A free market is better for unskilled workers because companies will offer more competitive salaries instead of the bare legal minimum.
Socialism does not work my friend.
You, as a businessman who employs people, also Poles, will you say you didn`t profit from Polish access?

But you're taking an EU view of the situation.
Many people in their own countries can't comprehend why their own nations problems are not being addressed before other nations problems.
And it is a legitmate argument.
Why give money to beggars when your own children are starving?

For Poland, The EU has mainly been pro's, as it is for most of the poorer European countries.
For the wealthier states, it has mainly been negatives.
