That is all they are against. Look here:

@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.

What lunacy?

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.

but still much prefer them to the shower of **** t

Alleluia! Progress ! :) Look i would much prefer PiS to form a government with Zandberg and Partia Razem at the next election than with the degenerates from konfederacja... kornivirus and dirkdiggler; their coronavirus conspiracies are the same intellectual level as their ayn rand milton friedman economic policies. ironside is a bit smarter, has wisely stayed away from the konfa anti-vax lunacy but hes a thatcherite as are most konfa supporters. Stuck in the 80s. oh and polamkrakow too ;)

@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.

bugger off back to america if you don't like then, as we are going to win the election in 2023, so no point in you sticking around like a bad smell. that is if we take your doom and gloom procrastinations for the last year at face value, from the big companies withdrawing investment , to hospitals being overwhelmed with covid, to the goverment falling, to usa cutting off relations, all your predictions have turned out to be crap and useless. but you will continue with your doom mongering like the old cocaine addict man yelling at clouds .

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. .

Please show me one credible claim from a bank maybe? Y

I don't see why tradingeconomics is not credible but here you go.
Dated 21st Sept "Goldman Sachs has raised Poland's 2022 inflation forecast from 3 percent to 3.7 percent," Thats a nice drop of two percent from now so quit your the sky is falling drug induced paranoia ;) .

I'm not saying the inflation forecast will be peachy as that curve in the above link , but the consensus is that inflation will be on a downward trend from early 2022. Please provide proof of your wild claims.

. That EU stimulus money better come fast

Won't that just contribute to the inflation you are so concerned about? lolzo make up your mind

and economic slow downs.

What economic slowdown? . Look put down the straw o.k? You've had too much again.
Sept 2021 Update "FocusEconomics analysts see the economy growing 5.0% in 2021, which is up 0.2 percentage points from last month's estimate, and 5.0% in 2022." Look at the inflation forecast for poland in 2022 here tradingeconomics.com/poland/inflation-cpi

How does it balance out ?

It balances out that the .2 .3 higher inflation is offset by the higher growth (including wage growth) , so that makes us no better or worse than other european countries who have a tiny bit lower inflation. learn to read english at least as polish is probably too big a goal.

Taxes are increasing

Taxes are decreasing drastically next year thanks to polish deal and you know it. Stop lying.

It's quite tiresome to

Another whingeing yank.. yawn. If you are not doing well you're taxes will decrease. If you make more than 12k a month then you have nothing to whinge about that you are not doing well. Oh wait did you move to Poland thinking you would have the easy life and live like a king surrounded by cocaine, lambos and escorts?

So why is it the highest in Poland???

by .2 or .3 percentage points, how does that miniscule percentage affect you? Also our economy is growing faster than other countries in europe so it balances out.

BS. It will be even higher.

Post proof of your wild claims. NBP and international organisations are saying it will fall early next year.

Don't be silly. Inflation is similar all over Europe, to do with world wide stimulus, and is forecast to fall next year.

No party stays in office forever.

2027 is o.k by me. A fair amount of Dobra Zmiana will have been achieved by then. Massive rail infrastructure thanks to CPK just one small example. And enough time for the total opposition to wise up and truly believe in ditching neo-liberalism.

if Germany decided to follow to the letter the UN refugee rules and refused to take any

Your point is moot and fantasy, as Germany has just democratically voted for a coalition of parties that will expand refugee rights, especially with massive family reunifications in the future.

of course the core demographic of PiS voters are the rural elderly.

Yes there is a chance for converting you yet, for the cause of agrarian socialism that PiS have adopted. . If kukiz convinces kaczynski to introduce civil unions then there is some hope for you to turn away from the evils of the total opposition. it is a small chance but possible for PiS to tack towards the center socially before the next election. (at least on that issue)

i take it you are only 5-15 years older?

You didn't respond, is it 15-25 years then? ;) If someone says you look 35 and they are being polite it's usually 10-15 years.
