Law / Poland economy is slowing down - how does it affect you? [117]
Nope. Ironside must be about 30 years old. He left Poland 10 years ago when his parents won the green card in the American visa lottery. In 1989 he was a kindergarten kid (or had a nanny at home).
Of course, not everything was worthless. I guess only 90% industry was junk. :):):):)
Yes, sad, but I was already an adult in late 1980s. And vividly interested in the problems of the country .
Yes. Do you know in 1989 communists created the highest inflation in Poland ever?
1989 - 639,6%
It is hard to believe today, but it is true.

How could one not know it, Ironside? Are you 15 years old?

As for economy - implying that all what was build during communism times in Poland by the magic of 1989 become overnight worthless junk that Poles shoudl be grateful if somebody agreed to dispose off is a biggest lie and propaganda there was and you all 12 years old have just bought that lie and you are stuck with it for better and worse.

And I suspect Pawian was there to witness it first hand too.
Yes, sad, but I was already an adult in late 1980s. And vividly interested in the problems of the country .
And I am glad things have improved by now, enormously.
