PolAmkrakow + Assorted PolAms
Since I am such a nice guy I have found a free version of Układ Zamknięty for you. The whole movie is about 3 entrepreneurial business owners in Poland so I am sure you will enjoy it. lookmovie.ag/movies/view/ukad-zamknity-2013

If you need English Subtitles can be downloaded and then uploaded into the video player.

If all countries are selling debt at the same time then Poland will be less atttractive.

Government Bonds are regarded as an investment safe haven in times of volatility. Buyers don't care about 'democratic' rule of law , they just care about rule of law hence why Hungary and Poland are still seen as a prime location for big-business investment. Poland won't have a problem.

so far I have not received a grosze. . Neither has anyone else I know.

That does indeed suck. I hope they come up something soon. I could be wrong but heard today that 4th round of coronavirus policy includes delays in paying ZUS and some form of subsidy in getting commercial loans? pretty pathetic I agree and PiS will have to up its game before the election.

PiS cant decide what it is. They have multi personality disorder.

That is why they are so successfull, both electorally and until recently with the economy. Leftwing welfare policies with right wing values policies . see dw.com/en/poland-where-keynes-meets-jesus/a-48943007

Well let's try another one my PolAm friend, this too , like fighting rather than collaborating with trans-national mafia you will find unimportant. The European Commission with the help of the German Presidency of the European Council wants to ram down the throat of Poland the mandatory relocation of real and fake asylum seekers. (again) Perfect timing for the presidential election. :) Luckily the resistance from EU countries has grown to 7+ Austria + surprises. rmx.news/article/article/seven-eu-nations-reject-compulsory-migration-quota-in-letter-to-european-commission Polish people have a long memory of the last PO government kow-towing to Germany and agreeing to take 7000 'refugees' the last time they were in power. It's still PO policy to accept EU diktacts and embrace unidentified military aged men into Poland as part of our mandatory migration quota is it not? . Happy to see the European Commission doing PiS electoral job :)

Hungary launches €398 million zero-interest loan scheme for small businesses in coronavirus stimulus package

rmx.news/article/article/hungary-launches-398-million-zero-interest-loan-scheme-for-small-businesses-in-coronavirus-stimulus-package
Looks like maxiumum 6000 zloty per business. If PiS does not follow Orban's lead and launch somethng like this before election they deserve to lose.

To me he presents himself more like a full of sh*t hipster wearing a vintage scarf

Then he takes daddy's porsche to a high end mafia strip club, does too much coke, and accidentally murders a hooker.

It seems that left wing voters like you delph, don't want actual leftist ideals and actions, but you want PO style neo-liberalism with pseudo left virtue signalling on identity politics issues So if it applies to you why won't it apply to millions of ultra-conservatives who will vote for Bosak and then Duda in second round?

I agree that PiS went too far with their LGBT rhetoric, however I don't see it as a disaster for Poland internationally. Like the boy who cried wolf the western media has already blown their wad that Poland is Evil Catholic nation hating Gays. Yes there has been coverage about Duda claiming LGBT is worse than communism (which is very disrespectfull to the victims of Commies) but just as much about Poland invading Czechia. The PiS electoral AI computer must have calculated that this was an effective electoral strategy, i don't agree but lets see how it plays out. If Duda loses to Czaszkowski because of this, i will happily say fair play PiS ****** up.

And the big infrastucture investments of PiS sound a lot more credible than nothing from PO, just yapping about the Kanal and that we don't need CPK because it will be biggest airport in the world and Berlin has one . LOL. PO has literally no idea with what to do with the EU stimulus money apart from hospitals and 'job security' They want Poland to remain weak and a vassal of Germany.

Anyone thinking the international business community wont turn their backs on Poland over this

Doesn't seem to have affected Dubai and Abu Dhabi where being homosexual is you know, Illegal, You can say they have oil but investment/tade is happening in to all sorts of areas. I believe western tourists go there.

I agree it's a risk, I am more impressed with the 1000km of fast rail that will be built as part of CPK, linking up all of Poland. So as an alternative to flying to frankfurt/ and then connection to USA/Asia, poles can catch train to CPK and do the same. The cargo potential of airport over the next 30 years also a positive. Lets face it Chopin is maxxed out, sorounded by the highway and houses. The European Commission had a ruling that it's illegal to force low cost carriers to move from an airport (discrimination) , as was the plan to with Lelystad Airport in Amsterdam. But we need the economic stimulus and a asset along with rail and roads that will last for generations seems like a good bet.

re business commuters from warsaw if its 200km/per hour high speed rail to CPK from cbd then in many regards better than being stuck in traffic to Chopin. With check in/baggage drop off at LOT kiosk in cbd.

both parties committed to upgrading and fixing the rail network

Well lets hope so. Haven't seen any pro infrastructure massive spending statements by PO and Trashkowski. In fact when Duda went to Konskie to sign a railway infrastructure initiative at the railway station, he was ridiculed for it by PO. When PO attack CPK they are attacking the rail component as well. The PO Pendolino purchase was a mistake and tainted with corruption., buying a tilt train without the tilt option is silly. Equilivant fast trains with speeds of 230km per hr can and should manufactured by PESA.

Intercity Express is mainly for business customers with its pricing , whilst the masses get the TLK crumbs.

Give each company.. something like 100K

PolAm "It's not a handout if I get it" Krakow

without killing the people already paying taxes.

Your CIP was reduced from 19 percent to 9 percent during PiS rule. But maybe after you arrived in Poland? PIT has been reduced. Your workers now under 26 pay no income tax, which is a massive motivation to get a job, work hard and stay in Poland. A world pioneering policy which should be applauded by low tax advocates. And yet you and the other Polams have the gall to say that PiS is strangling You and Poland with taxes!

completely Soviet blind faith in "infrastructure" without actually researching

It seems what every smart country is doing to stave off an economic depression, in Australia we have brought forward several massive projects. Its not just CPK and the Kanał. Its Rail Baltica, Via Carpatia, Gdansk Port upgrades etc. Basically infrastructure investment that helps bring Poland into the Tier A of European countries, versus the PO vision of keeping Poland where it is and focusing on trivial issues such as money for ecological home renovations

@lenka me too, but its getting late here .
interesting rumours surfacing today that Trashkowski top security advisor is the former head of Służba Kontrwywiadu Wojskowego who signed unauthorised agreement with the FSB . guess Trash has to follow PO tradition.

Bosaks statement about not supporting PO in second round, Duda meeting Trump. Dudas upcoming economic promises in the runup to the second round. Trashkowskis spotty record in warsaw and the general bad memories of PO. Hołownia , KK and Biedron failing to capture public imagination. Its over folks. Looking forward to picking up my wager with PolamKrakow 12 July. :)

The other half in his statemnt is that they won't support Duda in the second round either.

Do you have a source/link to that statement? Because AFAIK on Polsat news Bosak focused on PO and it's failings. And we are talking about Konfederacia's presidential canditate here not another Posel from another faction in konfed.

thats why Trump wouldn't schedule it around the 4th of July holiday.

I think Trump has a lot more important things to do around the 4th of July than meeting the Polish President! Probably quelling more riots..

This visit of Duda to the US before the first round is probably going to be the last throw of the dice for him

No. There will be partial allocation of that 70 Billion of EU Grants/Mutualised Debt that Poland is going to receive :) PO will probably propose electric car subsidy and creative precincts or something predictably ridiculous . Edit Oh you meant for the first round. Well its worth it I think. Big statement. I wonder if Trashkowskis security advisors FSB ties helped decide that the meeting was going to happen. Last thing the americans want is a President who is more sympathetic to Russia

will drive Poland into a depression not seen since the Russians left.

You should take some happy pills, That paranoia can't be good for your health. Budka and KKK admitted on Sejm microphone that Coronavirus Stimulus bill was really strong and most PiS could do. You think PO will do more for small business? Keep Dreaming
