Not a PO supporter either. You really need to get a grip on your extremism thinking. I provided proof on inflation in the ING bank statements made public. But here is more:

Since you like conservative outlooks on the subject and you like Goldman try this one:

biologyreporter.com/goldman-sachs-another-revision-of-polands-inflation-outlook/

A decent summary is also here:

thefirstnews.com/article/inflation-exceeds-expectations-prompts-post-pandemic-recovery-concerns-25085

As for VC, and investment, you would actually know things if you were in Poland and moving in those circles of people who are involved with VC. You are not and do not.

These conservative reports when viewed from street level, in the real practice of business development and investment, are still on the low side. Deliberately low to not create panic.

Money is not flowing into Poland. The world view of Poland is taking a beating for any number of reasons on the extreme political left. But the facts are that those lefties also control a lot of cash, and when you offend them, they spend it in other places or not at all.

In the business community there is a quiet restlessness. You can actually feel the tension in meetings where people are now afraid to commit to projects and investment. Decisions are delayed over and over. Traveling this country, more and more family business are closing and unable to recover. Some money is gone and never coming back. PiS knows this and it is why they have not forced more lockdowns even when numbers of COVID are accelerating. Another lockdown would push Poland over the edge financially.

The strength of currency is a direct indicator of how the world views a country. Poland has lost 10% value of its currency in the last 2 months or so. That is a statement.

Really? Americans are not coming to Poland to invest now. Thats a fact. Start ups are almost non existent, and there is no foreign venture capital. You have no clue kid, really no clue at all to what is happening here. All you read is PiS propaganda and TVP. You are embarrassing with personal attacks because that is what those of little intelligence resort to when their ideals are threatened.

You are right though, much more of the PiS garbage and I will either go back to USA or head to Slovakia. Not locked into any place. The beauty of freedom. Unlike Australia.

And when the same people in charge of inflation are also taking tax money away from cities and they in turn have to cut or eliminate services, what is that? A thief with authority to not only steal but to tell the police they don't have enough resources to investigate. Yet, the Robin Hood thief continues to give to the "poor" in order to control them since they outnumber the wealthy or middle class.

Come and suckle from the great tit of momma Poland and JK will make sure there is a ham in every fridge and butter to put on the bread that is now ten times more expensive than it was two years ago.

You really are funny. Inflation is 5.5% right now and rising. I enjoy amateurs who think they know macro economics and want to debate. With the economy doing so well, why is the zloty in the toilet? You know, the strength of growth forcast and all.

@amiga500
Where is one claim of inflation abating? Please show me one credible claim from a bank maybe? You need to back away from the bong, put down the rainbow skittles, and get a little educated.

With EU money, comes infrastructure funding and the continued funding of jobs. That liquidity keeps people spending, while not actually producing more, which drives prices up. You know, less supply and greater demand. That concept we all learned in grade school. Or maybe you were getting beat up by a bully on the swing set when that class took place.

There is no bank outside of Polish government owned banks that is projecting anything other than more inflation, and economic slow downs. That EU stimulus money better come fast or things will get dark very quickly.

Economy? Ohhhhhh you mean that thing we all count on for jobs and liquidity? Yeah, well we just don't have a lot of time to address inflation right now, we are a little more concerned with lgbtq battles, and foreign owned news outlets.

Excellent management of the economy. PiS promise of a fruitful future clearly meant no fruit on tables in the future. JK needs to get his brilliant advisers back into a room with a box of crayons and work on the next financial plan.

"so when are you going to post proof backing up your statement that PiS was trying to shut down/close down gay bars and nightclubs?"

Why would PiS shut down the favorite hang outs of the 50% of PiS members who are pole smokers? Thats like shutting down a PiS polling station.

Unlike England, Poland can not afford to buy its way out of all the EU agreements. Poland is a net receiver of funds, and not a net payer. Poland could not even barrow its way out of the EU. Leaving the EU would decimate Poland, it would be hitting an automatic reset button and sending the country in a time machine back to conditions more like Ukraine today. Been to Ukraine lately? I have. Not a place I would recommend.

Poland, for the last 30 years, and since joining the EU has done a very good job at maintaining traditions and its culture. It will be the last country to see its identity fade to a multicultural mess. Poland wont leave the EU on its own, maybe they will get kicked out, but they wont leave on their own.

As for all the bleeding heart ideals you support. It is my right to not have to be forced to see these demonstrations in places I work and live. It is their right to have their needs fulfilled in a public area like a park. I do mind my own business until people have to put their personal beliefs on display when I didn't ask to see them. Their right to have a parade does not trump my right to not be forced to view it.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

@amiga500
I am not saying leave to government at all. I am saying that marches and parades are not effective. They draw unwanted attention from competing groups. There is no such thing as a "nice" parade any more. I am saying parades going through people's neighborhoods where the work and live are irritants and should be banned. Want a parade, have it in a public park, not on my street. Want to be gay, be gay, just not on my street, want to be an Muslim go ahead in you own home.

Want to immigrate to Poland? Great. If you can accept that the people already living here don't want to change their culture to accommodate you, have at it. Telling people they have to change is never a good idea. I don't have to accept openly gay relationships, my choice. All the parades and rainbow flags in the world wont change my choice. Want to quietly live your gay life in your own home? Go ahead, they have been doing it for centuries. Like hetero couple have as well. To each their own.

The social dimension of flamboyant gays wearing costume and dancing in the streets acting like they have lost their minds is really not a social issue I want, or most want in the streets where they work and live. Forcing the majority to accept the minority never works in the long run.

@amiga500
I have a problem with it. Parades are for people who need to say "hey look at me" they are for attention seekers who desperately need others to tell them its ok to be what ever they are. When the rest of us really dont gaf what they are in their own home. People in general just need to mind their own business and have a life. Pretty simple thing to do. Yet these attention seekers who need to find other attention seekers and those who need a cause to be involved with because they dont have lives will always find a way to irritate the rest of us. The funniest one in Poland is BLM, this just cracks me up. The EU though, is far too liberal, and PiS while pooping the bed in nearly every other way, keeps these "demonstrations" to a minimum.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

@amiga500
Parades are for people who are looking for attention. Nothing more. An antiquated procession through the streets to celebrate what should be a private issue is simply asking for trouble regardless of the parade subject. The cocaine is really good in Poland, I did some off your mom's @$$ with my coffee this morning.

You need a reading comprehension class. The "theme" is not just ideology being forced on people. The "theme" that should just go away in order to keep it from becoming a bigger political issue is the LGBT whatever free zones. Thats just Fing stupid. Loosing millions in financial support from EU to promote and idea most already support anyway? What moron came up with this idea? Leave the homos alone but no parades and you can go on with life.

@Novichok
I dont know why anyone would support immigration from countries that are proven to be religiously fanatic and violent toward the core ideals and values of western society either. Immigration from western countries with similar values though should be more welcome. Having been to Germany many times in multiple cities, there is no way any Pole should support any immigration policy the way Germany has. The country is a dump.

@Dirk diggler
I have to agree with you that the majority are not in favor of more immigration or gay rights. This is the biggest PiS platform strength now. Their financial platform is being laughed at by everyone. Independent polls, not government shills polling, show PiS is not the most popular among voters any longer. They were for a long time, but its over.

The young are not more conservative though. Hardly. They are much more progressive while remaining in favor of nationalistic movements. Young people, the vast majority are not in favor of anything PiS. The young are much more center than right wing. Most women are left wing, while smaller numbers of men are far right. There is a lot more common ground in the middle than on the extreme sides. The left wings would happily compromise on many things if you talk to people, and most of them really dont favor flamboyant gays running the streets. The far rights would compromise on leaving the gays alone as long as the immigration issue was settled their way.

While the media on both sides like to paint a grim picture politically, there are chances for real work to be done if people communicate and compromise at a table. Fanaticism never wins.

Poland was booming due to EU money. Period. Please tell me what we export from Poland? Please tell me the primary industry? Poland has next to zero without the EU money. All the infrastructure jobs from EU money gone and all that consumerism spending gone, all the "jobs" in the service industry gone. Just a little better than Ukraine if not for EU money.

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]

@amiga500
Consumption does not stimulate job growth in sectors that actually make real impacts economically. Most consumption growth is in the service industry, as it has been in Poland in the past.

The new deal infrastructure and digitalization does not support the business sectors that need it most. You sir are grasping at straws and show you just march to the party drummer. The economy in Poland is a disaster. Cost of living is through the roof. Consumerism is down because inflation is up. People are saving money now because they learned the government has no help for them in an emergency situation. They learned the big money goes to big state owned business.

No more theory talk because the PiS theory for the last 6 years has been a financial disaster. Wealthy people are making a lot more money today and poor who PiS says they represent are being kept poor, but with just a little more bread and a few more potatoes to get through each month.

Stripping the cities of their tax revenues will see infrastructure and city funded projects stop very quickly. See how residents react if that happens.

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]

@amiga500
I like when people talk theory when actual forensic accounting has already proven hundreds of millions in revenue will be missing from local government. It is even better when you said "may" spur economic growth. The United States just did a study of wealthy people during the pandemic and after all the tax cuts Trump gave out. Next to zero additional investment, and more hording of cash.

Wealthy people are in the business of creating wealth for themselves and their families. If some employees get moderately wealthy along the way its fine as long as it doesn't take from the top dogs. This is business, and this is what PiS doesn't understand. Tax cuts do not spur growth in real job creation and do not spur investment into new projects and expansion of business.

Even sleepy Joe knows he has to go after the ultra wealthy and he is half dead. JK should get on the same life support medication as sleepy Joe and it might help him get a clear mind.

The way the cities are set up in Poland for taxes, they will be the ones cutting programs and funding. They will not have the money coming in.

For me, I dont care. But this is not a solution for the country, this is another bad idea that has the potential to destroy infrastructure in cities that need the support the most.

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]

@amiga500
My arguments are neither for or against taxes. My arguments are for developing programs, and financing those programs in a way that does not penalize on social economic group over another. May arguments are for smaller government and less red tape. My arguments are for helping the poor with more tax on the very wealthy, not on the middle class. The problem is that PiS is so incompetent that they cant devise a program hat gets paid for by the very wealthy without attacking the middle class too.

Now I give you that this will help some people get behind it. It wont pass because the money is missing from city tax revenues and this will not be paid for by the proposed taxes or cuts. Just do the math and get off the bandwagon.
