That's not the problem here in Poland - unemployment benefit is very small

I am talking about WELFARE benefits in general.

- costs going up

Thats because the Woke governments are paying people to well not to work.
Capitalism does work rather well otherwise to keep costs down.

I ended up about one percent down on my US stocks, about 1 percent up on Europeans.

The Dow Jones was up .06% while the Euripean Stoxx 600 gained .57%.
About the same same.
Seems like the market is not reacting negatively to a possible Kamala presidency

Its the calm before the storm.

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]

as a graduate student at Columbia.

Why do I find that hard to believe because of the way you post here.

Columbia scientists and scholars have played a pivotal role in scientific breakthroughs including brain-computer interface; the laser and maser; nuclear magnetic resonance, the first nuclear pile; the first nuclear fission reaction in the Americas; the first evidence for plate tectonics and continental drift; and much of the initial research and planning for the Manhattan Project during World War II.

It just doesn't make sense that you would fit into such a prestigious school with such scholars, Lyzko.

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [455]

Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Friday accused Poland's previous government of illegally spending 100 billion Polish zlotys ($25 billion) as he announced a government effort to try to recover the money.
Tusk said that six months of investigations and audits had revealed widespread financial abuse, with 62 members of the previous "ruling elite" being charged so far.

Food / Healthy polish food? [143]

Not necessarily.
Romaine lettuce beats iceberg hands down.
Romaine has better texture and actually has some flavor which iceberg lacks.

I really enjoyed their grilled sardines.

They serve them with egg tarts.
Most enjoyable.

Now PLEASE stay On-Topic here.

Monday (8/5/24) I bought 200 shares of BTI @ $34.50 on the dip.
I have been watching it for a while as it was looking solid.
Then with such a dip was my chance to jump on it and make some vacation money.
Anyone else here want to stick their head out on a stock tip today ?

Life / Pottery Made in Poland [5]

My wife

YOU'RE MARRIDE at such a young age !
especially if it says 'unikat' underneath.

Thanks for the info. as I will be watching for that now when I visit the Polish shops that are around my area here in Michigan.
I would guess that Chicago would have many Polish shops that have Polish pottery of all kinds.

I can assure you that it is not just American soldiers that buy this pottery.
It is quite popular and even sold on Amazon.
Sold not only for it's beauty but also its durability for everyday use.
Some of this high-end pottery is not cheap.

You will like this one Ms. Atch

Poland offers some of the most beautiful and unique pottery in the world.
In fact, there is a store in Cedar Michigan that sell this pottery that has been imported from the old country.
Here are some examples.

If she does, we will get what we deserve.

This is what I tell my Liberal friends when they stary b!tching about the economy or border.
You voted for the incompetent M.F. and we told you so but you wouldn't listen so save your tears.

The market has been up the last two days giving us a little back of what they took.

Trump is our only hope but the Liberals STILL WON'T/DON'T get it.
They will vote for a 4th term obama again this time around.
Stupid is as Duped does. 🥴

Is this a bridge in Poland or the USA?

(That is a bug splatter on my windshield)

The U.S. but Karen is right, we must stay on topic because she could never guess this one.

What bridge is this ?
The grey structure on the left should be a clue.

Rumor is your wife found your butt plug.

The Market took quite a correction in the past week.
There are some fantastic buys right now on the dip.
I think it will be a short run though as the Recession is on the horizon.
If Trump wins, I am positioned well, if Harris wins, we are all f-cked.

Buckle Up People
A new coronavirus variant named KP.3.1.1 has risen to dominance in the U.S., almost doubling in prevalence in just two weeks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.
Experts are warning that the new variant which, as of August 3, accounts for more than 1 in 4 U.S. COVID-19 cases is "more of a challenge" to our immune systems compared to previous variants.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

There was no war when I was studying...

There does not need to be a combat war to serve your country in the military before or after your studying.
Now lets get back on topic of the Feminist and Mangina agenda.
