Law / Maximum daily limit for international bank transfer to/out of Poland [11]

I used to have trouble a few years ago making transfers to Citibank Polska. They wer useless; frequent delays and when I asked why, they just made stuff up from the top of their heads/ Usually blaming the kontrola dewizowa.

The transfer request is probably sitting in the in-ttray of someone who's off work and not having their role covered.

Most Polish films/TV shows (with the notable exception of several great directors' arthouse films) are usually very poor, and the popular music generally dire.

Education is a potential growth area here; already the universities take more and more overseas students; this is a growth area, providing the revenue goes to fund research rather than just being trousered.

Language / Poszłam or poszedłem [30]


I only know it from 19th Century literature. It's a shame it isn't current; it's a very economical way f expressing something.

Language / Polish names without a nickname (or less frequently shortened) [61]


There was the writer Evelyn Waugh, and his first wife, also called Evelyn Waugh.

A desert as man-made global warming devastates Southern Europe. The future is in the North.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


So does everyone. It must be unpleasant to be perpetually in fear.

We have hindsight now. We didn't then, and the poor sods hewing coal didn't have an O Level between them, just their (very dangerous) labour. Interestingly, Sheffield produces more steel now than it ever did before; just without the people who expected jobs for life.

Here, there'll always be agriculture, however a lot of the outsourcing will eventually move eastwards to Poland's disadvantage.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

What a load of rubbish, your usual bile; it must be sad to be you.

And even sadder to live in such fear that you have to buy guns. Much nicer and safer here in Poland; even the capital is low in crime.

Life / What is Poland going to be like in the 2050s? [72]


More by the Heath government and the 1973 oil crisis.


Not in the coal mining and steelmaking parts of South Yorkshire she didn't. An uninteresting time to be a kid. Like you though, I pulled myself out of it, and on the whole have had much better times since.

@Spike31 A cyberpunk version of Warsaw is unappealing; a bit like parts of Praga 25 years ago. If the pandemic gets worse though, we may well be looking at steampunk.

For me it's a habit anyway, coming from the countryside where you have to stock up due to poor access to shops, and a full larder of preserved things after the summer would tide you through to the next spring. Plus I go away a lot for work and like to leave full cupboards/freezer before a trip for various reasons.

Plus I remember the shortages and powercuts of the 70s as well as the financial instability of the early Thatcher years followed by the Strike. That and working in places where food supply chains can and do break down.

They are Americans.


The US has a murder rate several times that of France.


Indeed.

Very few people. And those of us who prepped by keeping food stocks, having contingency plans etc were seen as odd; now we're not.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


It is.

An astronomic level of gun crime, a society in decline, and people living in perpetual fear.

So unlike you're own country, Poland.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

More limp attempts.to project the failings of another society onto Poland. It doesn't work, since there's no credible suggestion that the law will change in 5hat direction, and no proposed legislation to do so.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


They don't


Or just a developed, safe and cohesive society.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

It isn't, you shouldn't. However obtuse you're trying to be, there's no particular will in Poland to change the current effective gun laws.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


For whom?


Sadly all too many have. Whereas "two thugs with knives" are fortunately very rare here; Poland doesn't have mass shootings. mass stabbings, just Sunday mass.

It must be strange and stressful to live in such fear that you feel you have to buy a gun.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Do they happen here?


I've never seen even one 'thug with a knife'. It must be strange to be so fearful that you have to buy a gun.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


I doubt that will be a factor for even one person.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Especially since they'd have to try hard (even a criminal) to get a usable firearm in Poland.

It must be strange to be so fearful, to have 'mass shooter drills'.

Will face to face teaching still be as popular then?

Real Estate / Getin Noble Bank / Dombank - it is possible to cancel mortgage agreement in CHF? [41]


Of course; that is the greatest fear of the Frankowicze.

They say you should never hang on to falling stocks for sentimental reasons; there are parallels here.

It will cost them, obviously...

Better some pain now than much more later, as the zloty slides..

Given that Russia (along with Canada) is one of the few places to have an advantage in the world of man-made climate change, they may well set their sights on Poland again. The EU will become more insular; perhaps that is to Poland's advantage. The steady decline of America will also affect markets worldwide, some in a positive way, others not.

It weighs 350lbs, has a Walmart tee shirt and a 'maga' cap, an armoury of guns it doesn't know how to use, and never leaves the house except in a car. And is terrified of strangers.

There are people who wish it would do this! Have you come across a group called Nowa Warszawa? Probably a PR thing by construction companies or other interested parties. They'd like Warsaw to look like Dubai. I prefer it looking like Warsaw, however the march of progress likes taller and taller buildings.

Seriously, far fewer people will be eating meat. The 1980/90s-born boomers will be around 60; it remains to be seen whether that will be 'young' 60s or 'old' 60s. Hopefully there will be fewer private cars. There will be housing issues; some 1960/70/80s housing blocks will be literally falling down by then. Thd effects of man-made global warming will also affect agriculture and lead to increased population movement from the south of Europe and beyond.

Plenty in your country; more than anywhere else.


Neither outdated nor expat. As you've been told, there is no interest in weakening the current laws on gun ownership.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

As you've been told before, there's no particular will here for a change in the current law.

People are happy without mass shootings.
