Life / Is it common in Poland for multiple people to share a burial site? [4]

Is it common for multiple people to share a burial site because they died within a day or 2 of each other? Or is this reserved for people who die and dont have family or are poor?

How much does it cost to make a burial site nice in krakow?
Also is it common in Poland to visit a loved ones grave on the 1 year anniversary of their death?
I noticed lots of fake flowers on sites, is this common or would people leave real flowers on a grave if they go?

Polonia / Almost not allowed in Sweden without my Polish passport. [2]

So last August I was in Sweden and I almost wasn't allowed in.... I had just gone to 13 other countries in the weeks prior and 20 countries just last year and yet they kept asking me for my polish passport. I'm a dual citizen with the U.S. I don't have a polish passport. I had an appointment to get one but now with covid it got cancelled to renew it. I have to drive 9 hours to go to the closest polish embassy. But how come Sweden wouldn't stop asking me for it. I had my U.S passport but the guy wouldn't stop saying I was born in Poland and I needed my polish passport. I just kept saying sorry I don't have one. Is this normal? Like i said in the past year ive been to over 20 countries and have never had a problem. Will I need to travel with both passports from now on once I get it? Has anyone had this problem before?

Language / Will Germans be able to understand Polish enough? [77]

English naturally is taught everywhere, however, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's used or understood with equal precision.

Yea germans can barely get by with their english. But we still enjoyed our time and a friend helped us on the phone telling us where to go. I feel like they know english about as well as taking a course of it in high school maybe and almost never using it since.

Can't imagine why you would want to use Polish in Germany when you speak English

Would be fun to try to use and practice my polish, and I haven't been to Europe since I was a kid so not sure about who speaks what. Wasn't sure if a lot of people speak English there.

Don't give me sixpack

naaaa haha give me the sixpack haha LOL

I personally don't really know enough poles to make a call on this I Know some pretty damn hot poles though, although i'm sure there are always ugly ones to go along. But from what I hear as in things like if I were to go to Poland I would get a lot of comments on my teeth, because they are are so white and clean which I hear isn't exactly a top issue for those in Europe. this is just what I hear so don't go hating on me lol idk if it is true

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]

It has everything to do with it.

Alright well whatever No I did not grow up with money, i've grown up middle upper-middle class.

Raising the minimum wage will increase demand

Higher minimum wage means some job loss meaning higher prices meaning a decrease in demand not an increase.

But I hope that you do realize that this will not really affect the poverty rate at all either. I just did a research fact sheet on the cut down of unemployment benefits. So maybe instead of raising the minimum wage by 40% in most states they should put some money back into other programs that will help those who are unemployed.

Hint, Henry Ford doubled the pay of his workers in 1915 so that they could afford to buy the cars he was building, thereby increasing demand.

HEHE, really really LOL. Hint, he did this to only make more money for himself LOL. But the main reason that he did this was in fact to stop employee turnover, so he really did this to save himself money. labor turnover at the Ford Motor Company had been so high that, in 1912, 52,000 men had to be hired to retain 14,000 workers. Productivity soared and employee turnover plunged, and the cost per vehicle plummeted. "The resulting savings were so great that despite sharply rising costs for all materials in the next few years, Ford could produce and sell its Model T at a lower price and yet make a larger profit per car,"

Now also think about this, I'll admit what Ford did was a very very smart business move. But when he increase the wage he was the only one to do so. Thus making his company the one everyone wanted to work for as you got top dollar their. (His main reason was the stoppage of turnover) But now think about if the minimum wage in increased by all companies. Then that wont lower turnover because you can still make the same amount at any other company. Thus you cant bring in what Ford did back then and compare it to nowadays. 20% of a persons salary is how much it costs a company on average to have that employee quit. So now when you think back to ford

At the time, workers could count on about $2.25 per day, for which they worked nine-hour shifts. It was pretty good money in those days, but the toll was too much for many to bear. Ford's turnover rate was very high. In 1913, Ford hired more than 52,000 men to keep a workforce of only 14,000. New workers required a costly break-in period, making matters worse for the company. Also, some men simply walked away from the line to quit and look for a job elsewhere. Then the line stopped and production of cars halted. The increased cost and delayed production kept Ford from selling his cars at the low price he wanted. Drastic measures were necessary if he was to keep up this production.

forbes/sites/timworstall/2012/03/04/the-story-of-henry-fords-5-a-day-wages-its-not-what-you-think/

So if you wanna look at it from this perspective well their are a few options, Ford did this because overall it lowered costs for him, he had just invented the assembly line witch cut down the cost tremendously and now stopped turnover at his company

1. Change from employee's to machines
2. Increase current productivity.... Which the increase in wage may do this itself but doubtfully
3. We all know that production is more expensive in the U.S than elsewhere so instead move production across the water or into mexico

It doesn't help the economy when Wal Mart pays so low that the workers qualify for food stamps. That's a huge subsidy for business and contradicts the "Free Market".

Yes well now this I actually agree with it is sad but then again at least these people have a job and aren't living under the poverty line. But again its how things work turnover at walmart is high, but the cost is lower. So its no sweat to them and their is always another new eager person ready to apply and take over.

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]

Does it matter if i'm from money??? That has nothing to do with this

You do understand though that if you increase minimum wage and the inflation rate increases by the same rate then your buying power will be exactly the same....thus you haven't changed a thing.

Now I can see increasing the minimum rate by like 2$ sure but what they are talking about is doubling it, I sure hope that then all those on salaries get to see their incomes go up 100%

Plus also please do realize many states are getting their minimum wages increase within the next few years... so like every year they are going up some .75 cents which isnt going to beat out the rate of inflation.

and also considering minimum wage was 1$ in 1960... that would equate to $7.75 in this day and age. Now in 1968 it hit an all time high that today would equate to 8.56$ but that is the all time high

Also this increase in minimum wage would NOT cause any change in income inequality what so ever either.
But over all you increase the minimum wage this much you will only be eliminating current jobs, and you will only be increasing the prices for all other goods and services.

BTW I'm a business owner, who if he hires someone will be in the $18-$21/hr. range.

...... If you owned like a mcdonalds I'm 100% sure you would not be paying that cashier 18$ HAHAHAHA different business tend to pay different amounts so i'm sure you pay the standard amount

I also do hope that you are importing and not exporting if you are located within the U.S with the recent appreciation of the U.S dollar exporting is now becoming much more expensive and importing much cheaper. Now luckily this should cause a decrease in inflation but also a low AD and lower economic growth. This would also be assuming that demand is relatively elastic for whatever you do.

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]

Their is a motion on a 15hr. mininum wage.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah like that'll happen HAHAAHA ONLY Canada has high minimum wages and its no wonder why the prices their compared to the U.S are so much higher........ Raising minimum wage wouldnt change anything inflation will raise right with it and so will the price of goods......... W/P Increases then so does the price of good.

The production cost curve wouldnt allow for prices to stay low with an increase in wage prices.
Plus if the cost per worker goes up well then their productivity better also go up, so it would either have to be an increase in productivity by the current workers, or a reduced amount of workers making the same amount that they are currently working, either way their productivity must go up

Plus you also must consider that while raising the minimum wage may help students and young workers...... Full time employees wont be seeing an increase like that within their salaries, so you will be increasing the cost of production for many manufactures and suppliers but buying power and real income of most of the working people. If anything this would really help people on like gov programs because the CPI would increase allowing them more money to buy things like groceries

Food / Polish Christmas Eve Dinner recipes [69]

I just saw this pic and well it looks cool. Yeah im not a poppy seed fan either never had them.

Niebo w gębie

They look SOOO GOOD i'll deff have to try these, wanna share the recipe :P LOL cukier wysoki jednak wiele LOL

I've never tasted such a mix, so I don't know whether they are going to be good or not :)

Figured my parents would like it, lol idk i'm just a potato filling pierogi kinda girl lol

I recommend adding jelly cubes to the cream (for example strawberry

Strawberry yes, but should this be the dessert I make or is something else better?

Kutia

I think it looks nasty, never something I would try lol, I'll skip it no way im hand peeling grains LOL

1. Barszcz czerwony z uszkami - borscht with uszka (uszka are sth similar to pierogi, with a filling made of sauerkraut and mushrooms), it's a beetroot soup (and my favourite soup in general).

I love Barszcz we always have it but the addition of dumplings sounds great although i've never had mushrooms or sauerkraut before, the Chinese dumplings I tried a few weeks ago are alright.

2. The fish dish (lol) I love is śledzie w oleju z cebulą - herring fillets in oil with onion:

Herring hmmm never had it, does it taste kinda like swordfish looks kinda like it?? It looks good, but would it be weird to have something like swordfish or chilian sea bass??? We usually do salmon.

3. I also like the all time classic sałatka jarzynowa

NASTY LOL but my parents would so love it, so i'll add it

As for cakes, there's always some cheescakes, charlotte cakes and all kinds of other cakes with cream or without cream.
Everybody loves karpatka in my family, also everone knows murzynek in Poland:

Desert is my FAVORITE part lol I LOVE chocolate is that chocolate cake?????
Ever had złośliwy piernik Or Paczki

I also like pleśniak

My mom would LOVE that with like blackberry jelly

And then this sounds good lol

Smażona ryba w panierce

Food / Polish Christmas Eve Dinner recipes [69]

Polish. Canadian. No kielbasa for a traditional wigilia. Golomki traditionally has meat as well.

Ahhhh yes I meant traditional by my fam which only my dad is part Polish so they just make what they like LOL. Yes thats why we have salmon also, but I would like to keep it to a real Polish dinner this year, so no meat at all right ehhhh

Why not just cook food you know people will like? Try home made salmon fish cakes as a fish alternative to carp - do a classy buffet style - do whatever your family like sweetie xx

Doesnt matter i'm the only picky eater LOL We usually just do grilled salmon, But I wanna do Polish recipes. So they will like anything I make. But I dont know many polish recipes, and we Americanize any of the Polish things my mom makes. So I want the real recipes, we once did Polish bread that took 2 days to make, like that was fun.
