News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [186]

I guess the risk for the Ukrainians is that they know at some point Poland would start posturing like it has done about the grain and the kids Social Security and then decide to stop the drones from being exported.

When the war is over for sure, there is a lot of sorting out needs to be done between Poland and Ukraine. In the meantime they are fighting for survival and deserve support not extra problems

Yes - it was obvious that this photo would take only a few hours to debunk. Just bought them a bit of time

My bet - he has had some kind of episode and been told to rest. He's not on TV because he is maybe slurring a bit from medication or looks bad

Enough about lame ass guns

That's now a week for Golden Cow without any public appearance and only a few shaky photos and a couple of tweets written by Chat GPT.

What's up with him ?

You should have already been paying tax if you were here more than 183 days per year. Very small chance of getting caught though.

Yes there is a double tax arrangement with the US.

On the residency you might be best off to talk to a lawyer

In Poland nobody has ever been shot in an ice cream parlor.

Let me define nobody. Nikogo.

Proof that you can put any old **** on Golden Cow's desk. He won't read it anyway and is obviously asking fewer and fewer questions

Amend your amendment then. The US is a democracy so you can change your laws

Stop selling ammo then

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [993]

In Poland we don't have guns and yet people don't rob stores in broad daylight

Or school shootings

Stop selling your lame ass guns and there will be a quick fall in school shootings and armed robbery

I think Golden Cow is probably in hospital or been told to rest.

I doubt he is using a body double but he does follow lots of Putler's ways of doing things.

Anyway - a nice peaceful weekend without all his usual bullshit and lies.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [993]

Poland doesn't need to do anything about guns because we already have a solution - don't sell guns.

Result is one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the world

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [993]

Polish teachers are not trained in firearms and there are no weapons in the classroom. Result - zero school shootings ever.

Polish firearms deaths are normally less than 10 per year. In 2023 there were 47.000 gun deaths in the US. No idea why such a large difference

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [993]

We never have school shootings in Poland. Not one single kid has been shot at school

Teachers are not armed

I wonder how this miracle has been achieved

News / Taxes, taxes everywhere [31]

Pensions inflated away so the rock hard bread changes price every week, no foreign currency to buy nice stuff, nothing to invest in on the off chance you do have a few spare rubels

Sounds great for everyone except the "citizens", sorry "subjects", sorry the real word is serfs.

News / Taxes, taxes everywhere [31]

There are no western politicians willing to be honest about the need for tax rises. And these rises must be borne by all - not just the rich, "bankers", tech companies etc but by Jan Kowalski too

Talking of bond yields

France 3.5 percent
Poland 5.4 percent
Romania 7.6 percent

Large gap

North Nigeria 13.5 percent

There is a ton of things wrong with public finances in the west since the crazy lockdowns but we are not due any lectures from the gas station with nukes. Or make that the gas station with no gas and broken nukes.

More or less the same as it costs to look after Polish kids

Maybe you could ask one of the 900k Ukrainian taxpayers in Poland ?

They are not trying to tax their way to prosperity - rather trying to fill a worrying hole in the public finances caused mainly by lockdown.

Some of these taxes were proposed by PiS but now the President wants to block them and introduce his own crazy idea of zero PIT if you have two kids and earn less than 12k a month.

I din't think VAT will increase but they will work hard on reducing the exemptions

Somewhere further up this thread I predicted Golden Cow would have tanks on the street in 2025 and was mocked for it.

There are still four months to go and he is well on the way.
