News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


Yes, it is still a benefit to poland, and like britain did previously we play a role in impeding it's march towards becoming a united states of europe/suprastate.


Since you mentioned Siemens and Alston , PESA sold 72 trains to Germany, but that contract went south as they were originally going to buy 400. The Poles were not thorough enough and made bad decisions. Newag also sold trains to Italy. Škoda has been selling trains and trams to Germany in large amounts for many years.

very good social analysis there maf. As for nodding/saying hello to strangers in a isolated location, i remember a big debate on this on pf years ago, with the brits taking the side that it is normal behaviour for humans, i will always do this even if the natives regard me as slightly mad or obstrusive, unless the person is an ultra or tattooed up of course.

I am glad you are taking diary of notes of everything i post on this forum. Must be a lot of work. I am really living in your head rent free. :) But I understand why you are so aggressive here, If you shared your political and social views in your PiS voting village, the parents would give you a good trashing for trying to indoctrinate their children, therefore you must be meek as a lamb in the classroom and town square and are full of impotent frustration. You then take it out on the PiS supporters here. It is sad but if it helps you from having a nervous breakdown so be it :) We are here to help your neuroses.


You really have made an infantile mistake, One minute you say that getting the eu money easy and like winter being cold but in the previous breath you say PiS is leading us to polexit and russia. Baboon speak with forked tongue! Is that the incompetent way you teach your students rhetoric and debate? The parents should feather and tar you out of town i think and get a intellectual as a teacher instead of the village idiot they have now.


You previously did not want to bet upon your political views, let me educate a state employed teacher who has to grow vegetables to feed his family in the ways of civilised and refined men. A bet between gentlemen is a matter of honour and conviction, and is not to be debated or ridiculed by those who lack the conviction and will to put their money where their mouth is. Speak when you are spoken to peasant.

Everyone to the left economically of Reagan or Pinochet is a communist in your eyes mate! Now are you ready for a new bet? I will be noble and forget your previous bet proposal that Polish deal will not pass the sejm/senate, let's make it juicier.. That Poland will get the EU corona reconstruction money by mid January..

It was a great speech by our wise premier. He totally demolished the opposition! I liked how he mentioned the fact that the polish constitutional tribunal has twice asserted that the polish constitution has supremacy over European law, in 2012 and in 2005, the latter by a judge who is now a member of the ECJ trying to bully Poland! Like his father he is continuing to fight the communists, this time against the traitors in PO.

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]

Don't be silly, break the link to the past, of totatalitiarnism and police state for the cause of equality, and call it something else if you want to have some credibility. the fifth way or social humanism are better terms for instance than the discredited ones of old. if we look at the infantile hypersensitivity, discriminatory identity politics and wanabee authorititiranism of the millienial new left it seems society will not make a better go of it if we cling to outdated ideologies.

@ironside for all those that don't, there has never been any efforts to establish a polish identity for the romani. as jon stated there are many that feel polish and your exclusionary thought process does not help. . As the example of the Tatars shows, it's very possible. The overhanded communist efforts were not about making them poles but making them part of the communist working class. I bet they feel a bit more polish and part of the community after getting 500+ hah.

Always best to put money in a digital money account like transferwise or a bank in U.k that has a card with no foreign transaction fees and then no way polish tax man will find out.

Genealogy / Polish Gypsy Roots & Roma ancestors in their families [205]


IF they are already in poland, have polish passports and there is no danger of a mass migration by other gypsies into poland then what is the problem? This approach historically worked with the Tatars who are regarded as poles and integrated, whilst still maintaining (for those who want) their religion and customs.

@ironside
not a bad speech, Count Bosak "said are you vaccinated? , of course some of the people in the crowd are vaccinated " I wish he would have said that vaccination decreases mortality and hospital admission. Now onto the matter whether vaccination is a private matter, when it affects society as in some USA states ICU beds overflowing and doctors having to deny urgent medical care to patients, those that have come in with heart attacks or car crashes, because of the influx of unvaxxed covid patients, then i would argue it is also a social issue.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]


The lunacy that is scaring polaks to be vaccinated, when 98 percent in hospital are unvaxxed. I am against mandates and similar. But facts are facts. I agree with konfa that there should be no mandates or even national passports, but the rubbish that dirk diggler and kornivirus has been spreading is what many konfa voters think and is BS. it is just like the flu. what rubbish Yes some people have bad times from the vaccines like with any medical procedure and should be reported that is nothing compared to getting the virus even for the 20-50 age bracket, konfa should stop scaring people against being vaccinated which is their schtick on social media.

Alleluia!

@polamkrakov
I acknowledge my initial mistake, that I should have agreed with you about the current and harmfull level of inflation. Though in my defence i was distracted by your doom and goom about economic slowdown and EU funds saving Polish economy. No disagreement on current inflation and that is the only thing you can provide evidence for. My point was that there is a worldwide consensus that inflation will fall in early 2022, so any moves like raising rates by NBP are premature.

Re Foreign Investment, there has been a 35 percent drop due to the virus which is rebounding presently to 2019 levels . Here is the chart of ever increasing foreign investment for Poland to 2019. As you can see it has been increasing since 2015 when PiS got elected. tradingeconomics.com/poland/foreign-direct-investment. If foreigners were spooked by PiS it would have shown to 2019 instead they are coming to us in droves.

The left only virtue signals when it doesn't cost them money, Google is one of the most far left companies and yet it increased investment into it's Krakow HQ instead of making statements about lgbt and moving their staff to slovakia. You have offered no evidence of the left withholding cash from Poland.

Your points about uneasiness about making decisions are i think because we are in a pandemic and not because of PiS. I can't comment about VC but if FDI is increasing then and our international rating from S&P is A- then why should VC stay away? As for lockdowns well they won't do it again, which is what you advocated for, perhaps give credit where its due?

The reason i have to resort to personal slights is because you are a stubborn mule that never admits he is wrong. You have adopted your take no prisoners approach to internet forums and are failing badly. You were wrong about inflation forecasts in 2022, wrong about economic slowdowns, and instead of mea culpa and saying o.k i'll integrate. that you double down in the face of proof. You previously stated american businesses will pull out poland because of lgbt policies and two months later google announced massive expansion and investment in Poland. You now make nonsensical claims that americans companies have decreased investment, there are almost no startups in poland, and there is no foreign venture capital. Provide proof for your wild claims for once, instead of asking me to provide proof to once again prove you wrong or be quiet!. You are embarrassing yourself and not even the other POrks will back you up on your wild claims.

Everyone knows the europe wide inflation is a result of the stimulus to get the global economy out of the coronavirus slump and will fade in 2022. You know its interesting to get a concise summary of the disinformation that is fed into the minds of the gullible by tvn24 daily. You really should charge for this service!

@polamkrakov
You said there was no bank outside of government forecasting lower inflation in 2022. Despite being asked for proof you then asked me to provide a credible source to show that inflation is forecast to fall dramatically in 2022. I did that with the Goldman Sachs. Then you ignore that and pivet back to the present inflation and some unrelated zloty issues!. You really should apologise for being so disingenuous! And thank me for teaching you the difference between micro and macro economics in the past. .
