News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [393]

The ultimate proxy war was the Angola/Namibia thing in the 80s.

In one corner a dictator supported by South Africa who in turn were armed by the US and weirdly China

In the other commies supported by Cuba who were armed with Udmurtian junk but won a significant battle. Sadly there are still many destitute veterans of this limping around Cuba as their main tactic was human wave.

Law / Taxes and money, need some clarifications... [8]

You probably won't find anyone cheaper than 250 zloty in Warsaw. And below 300 they are unlikely to speak English

I pay 270 for mine, in the countryside - she doesn't speak English

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [374]

Nonsense - it wasn't that bad before 2015 and like most people I turned off sometime in 2016

Certainly the astronomical salaries are something that started under PiS

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [374]

But we pay for TVP from our taxes - why should it be anyone's propaganda ?

There is already Republika, and its doing OK and I don't have to pay for it

Law / Taxes and money, need some clarifications... [8]

Capital Gains Tax - yes it is 19 percent on the profits

Law / Taxes and money, need some clarifications... [8]

You only need to pay or declare tax on index funds when you sell them. It's 19 percent but if some has been deducted at source in Spain you can subtract that from your Polish tax

News / European News and Poland Thread 3 [1013]

US support for NATO and US presence in Europe costa about 30 billion USD - it means 100 bucks per US citizen.

So if you saved that you could possibly get a pair of sneakers, some barbecue charcoal and stop off at Starbucks on the way home. Certainly not enough to live like a king

Or maybe you could invest it LOL

News / European News and Poland Thread 3 [1013]

So vote for him

Sure we are prepared - if you are not going to protect us we will build our own nukes and expand the production of some of the precision weapons that have been very effective in Ukraine.

You think we are going to sit on our asses wondering what kind of mood Trump has woken up with ?

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [244]

But the PiSites have little public support, no money and aren't able to use taxpayers money to fund this idiocy. Once Duda sees that there are no votes in this kind of stunt he will pull back and see out his term opening obwody in small towns

This hunger strike will be over by Monday

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [244]

I think it's good that Republika is doing Ok - it's a private channel, funded by ads and I don't have to pay anyone's salary. It's a fine symbol of Poland's free press.

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [244]

Duda and PiS are making fools of themselves - they don't have the support of the country and this will just lose them the few remnants of middle class "conservative but generally nice" supporters that they still had in October

Genealogy / Looking for old street name : Teuchertstrasse in Gliwice [24]

Niederwall could be ul Dolny Walow

Tarnow strasse could be Tarnogorska though pre war maps show this as Tarnowitzer Landstrasse - it is one of the main roads out of Gliwice - towards Tarnowskie Gory

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [244]

Duda says he is " not going to rest' until they are freed

Will be a change for him as he is notoriously lazy - loves his long holidays and weekends

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [244]

Amiga tomorrow we have the Marsz Wolnych Polakow - a good chance for you to attend and defend freedom ?

I think there might be quite a few attending - maybe 10k - but it will be a real Moher freak show

History / Can a nation totally change its characteristics and national character throughout history? [62]

It's totally untrue - this bunch of stumbling drunk farm boys was easily defeated by Japan, Poland, Finland, the WW1 Germans, Afghans and a long list of others

The only thing hard in Udmurtia is their bread 6 hours after they picked it up in one of those crappy supermarkets from Russell's videos

Real Estate / Real Estate Sold or Sale price [5]

The info will be available cost free in the local land register and also from the notary who conducted the deal. But you will probably need a Polish speaker to help you. I don't know if any free source on the internet - maybe when Cargo Pants logs on he can help you as he is very knowledgeable on real estate

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [280]

We ? You are not a Polish taxpayer

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [280]

The ZUS increase is the same as the one in Morawiecki budget - but I'm unhappy with it whoever's idea it was. Taxes for small businesses got way out of control since covid finished

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

Losing the vote of middle aged females was a massive factor in PiS losing the election

News / Should Poland pay for gas in rubles? [155]

They have fallen by 2/3 since 2021. That's even according to the
Udmurtians own forecast

They will never return to 2021 levels. Whatever happens with the war the European democracies have learned the need to reduce reliance on drunk thieves

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [280]

They are not defending free speech but these horrible fat cats want to keep their snouts in the trough and Hoover up more taxpayers money.

But with the release of their salary details I think this will come to a swift end - Duda now looks foolish for defending these greedy PiStards

Work / PhD Student Salary Adjustment with Minimum Wage Increase in Poland [9]

The stipends are based I think on being 60 percent of a minimum assistant professors salary so it might go up.

There is a plan to increase all educational salaries in 2024 but the President is so far refusing to sign this law.

But you will get a better answer by asking them straight.

Work / Working in Poland as a Paramedic / Nurse [13]

Mediciver have some doctors who don't speak Polish and I presume might be open to nurses or support staff for regular work like blood tests and vaccines

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

Yes - but tragedy is the wrong word. It is murder and the murderers will one day be extradited by a democratic Udmurtian government.

Your attitude to the air hostess is no surprise - such an act would be unthinkable in democratic Poland. In Udmurtia it is her fault for serving coffee

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

The reasons for death are clear

Standing too close to a window

Going shopping in Salisbury

Drinking tea in London

Going to your job as an air hostess on a plane containing Putler's enemy

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

Because you get poisoned or pushed out of a window for criticism of the government

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

And for that they are getting long sentances - of course like pussies they are trying to get out of that by saying they are mentally incapacitated etc, same excuses as Lavrov and Medvedev will be using at the Hague.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

Shut about America - or alternatively go out do some American Friday night things - have a drink in a bar, watch some Basketball, have a deep pan.

In American you could certainly not spray a fire extinguisher in someone's face.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

Interesting that in Udmurtia there is no free press, free speech, free assembly, right to trial and yet the paid trolls come here to lecture us about democracy

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

Oh - at the moment the military commissary seem to be picking poor kids from Siberia, not sure why.

What the Germans do about public religious symbols is their business. Here in Poland we can make our own rules. Braun could simply have complained or made his deranged speech on the floor of the Sejm
