@gabbrust @GirdielBohmer @visegrad24 Milton Friedman already said it when comparing immigration in the 18th and the 19th: immigration is positive when it is driven by labor, is free, and people contribute, not when it is tied to welfare because there is no incentive to produce.

@GirdielBohmer @visegrad24 Japão já virou quarta, depois da Alemanha (que ultrapassou justamente quando se abriu para migração). E não tem como comparar os EUA com China e Japão em termos de economia e inovação.

In Poland, the streets are white. Everyone looks the same, everyone speaks the same language. Poland is currently condemning itself to being a passive witness to the great civilizational processes that are coming. By not entering this current, we are even more deaf, even more mute, and we see very little. This is terrifying, Polish Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk for Deutsche Welle.

these new UAP releases from the DoW are nuts. think I recognize these from a book I read...

@visegrad24 I am against illegal immigration 100%. If you are not contributing, you should get out of here. However, I highly doubt someone would be so stupid as to post something like this, especially in Poland. This has to be some sort of paid stuff to keep people enraged

A video of an immigrant sending a message to Poles that he enjoys living on benefits and taking their tax money is going viral in Poland. 🇵🇱

@nic_carter @simonmaechling

@simonmaechling shouldn't have tried to convince us that men can be women, children can change gender if you sterilize them, the vaccine is safe and effective, and covid was zoonotic in origin. 0/10 do better next time

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

@KonstantinKisin To be honest, every time someone says something like this I roll my eyes and think it's an exaggeration. My son was born 2 months ago and I now totally get it now. Of course it has challenges, but the sense of purpose and responsibility just outweighs everything else.

It's amazing how many people complain about parenting and their kids. Being a dad is literally the best thing in the world.

@ronbski3 @ChaghaalMoadab Perhaps no but it would definitively be an incentive if those people earning more could have some tax advantages, for example, the same exemption fot the first 120k. Anyways it is pointless to discuss about it, we are not the policy makers and it will not happen

@Maferrig @ChaghaalMoadab Sounds like money is not the reason this kind of couple is not having children.

Be Like Poland 🇵🇱

@denisyurchak I live in Krakow since 9 years and I can assure you can find quite a lot of people from spanish speaking countries and Italy. Also, those who live and work in Poland and build a family here may also speak polish, or at least we try to learn, it is part of the integration

It’s crazy how mono cultural Poland is In Warsaw and Krakow you hear almost only Polish in the streets (and some Russian/Ukrainian) In Vienna you go to a park and hear German, Italian, English, French, Russian, Polish and Spanish within 10 minutes

@ronbski3 @ChaghaalMoadab Yes and no, the benefit is for families earning up to 280k PLN (140k per parent), it is a help for lower income families but for those working in corporations whose salaries are most likely above that threshold, the benefit does not apply so the incentive does not exist for them.

Then they will have an incentive to have children. You have to look at this from a national level the more people going into the workforce the more productive your country is. It also has a deflationary effect. You do not have to look hard to find examples. Just look at Japan and South Korea for what happens when you don’t address this.

@HNathan28196 @LeeHurstComic You didn’t ask any question, you just made an statement. However, I can say I could not care less what the billionaires made with their money as long as it is not harmful to others. Those entrepreneurs creates products and services that we use, created jobs, pay their taxes, etc.

@Maferrig @LeeHurstComic Next move to do what? You’re avoiding my response as you don’t have one

Question for all socialists. You get your wish and tax the rich. In fact you take every penny from every British billionaire (£185 billion). Your UK NHS budget is £206 billion. You are £21 billion short. Next year you have no billionaires to steal from. What’s your next move?

@HNathan28196 @LeeHurstComic Answer the question, what’s your next move

@LeeHurstComic You can’t say your happy that people that could never spend all that money walk the same streets as people who can’t afford food or fuel You surely don’t agree with billion pound companies not paying a penny in British taxes HMRC has a ‘tax gap system’ and it isn’t pretty

Hello Julia, sans aucune ironie, c'est top que tu prennes le temps de te renseigner. Mais le problème quand on lit Marx aujourd'hui, c'est qu'on prend pour acquis sa prémisse de départ, alors qu'elle a été démontée scientifiquement il y a plus de 150 ans. Toute la pensée de Marx repose sur la théorie de la valeur-travail. L'idée que la valeur d'un bien vient de la quantité de travail nécessaire pour le produire. Si tu acceptes cette prémisse, alors oui, tout son raisonnement tient. Le capitaliste "vole" la plus-value du travailleur, l'exploitation est mathématique, la révolution est inévitable. Sauf qu'en 1871, trois économistes (Menger en Autriche, Jevons en Angleterre, Walras en Suisse) découvrent indépendamment la même chose : la valeur n'est pas objective, elle est subjective et marginale. Un verre d'eau dans le désert vaut une fortune. Le même verre à côté d'une rivière ne vaut rien. Le travail incorporé est identique. Donc le travail ne détermine pas la valeur. C'est le consommateur qui valorise un bien selon son utilité marginale dans un contexte donné. Exemple concret : tu peux passer 1000 heures à tricoter un pull moche que personne ne veut. Selon Marx, ce pull a énormément de valeur (beaucoup de travail incorporé). Selon la réalité, il ne vaut rien. Parce que personne n'en veut. À l'inverse, Bernard Arnault crée des milliards de valeur non pas parce qu'il "exploite" mais parce qu'il a su anticiper et organiser des désirs humains à grande échelle. La valeur est créée par la coordination, pas extraite par le vol. Cette découverte (la révolution marginaliste) a invalidé tout l'édifice marxiste. Pas pour des raisons idéologiques, pour des raisons scientifiques. C'est pour ça que plus aucun département d'économie sérieux au monde n'enseigne Marx comme un cadre d'analyse valide. On l'enseigne en histoire de la pensée. Maintenant, le truc important. Si ton intention en lisant Marx c'est d'aider les pauvres (c'est une intention noble), alors tu vas être surprise par ce qui suit. Regarde les chiffres de la Banque mondiale. En 1820, 90% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Cette chute historique ne s'est PAS produite dans les pays qui ont appliqué Marx. Elle s'est produite dans les pays qui ont libéralisé leur économie. Chine post-1978, Vietnam post-1986, Inde post-1991, Pologne post-1989. À chaque fois qu'un pays libéralise, des centaines de millions de gens sortent de la pauvreté en une génération. À chaque fois qu'un pays applique Marx (URSS, Cambodge, Corée du Nord, Venezuela), c'est la famine et les goulags. Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est l'expérience la plus massive jamais menée en sciences sociales. Plusieurs milliards de cobayes humains, sur un siècle. Donc paradoxalement, si tu aimes vraiment les pauvres, la position la plus cohérente n'est pas d'être marxiste. C'est d'être pour la liberté économique. Parce que c'est empiriquement la seule chose qui a jamais sorti massivement les gens de la misère. Pour creuser, je te recommande trois lectures qui vont changer ta vision : "La Loi" de Frédéric Bastiat (court, lumineux, gratuit en ligne) "La Route de la Servitude" de Hayek "Économie en une leçon" de Henry Hazlitt Bonne lecture, et vraiment chapeau de chercher à comprendre plutôt que de rester dans tes certitudes. C'est rare.

@denisyurchak @visegrad24 You can also see the difference in the type of immigration. The people I know from ME or LATAM came to Poland to work and to be productive member of the society trying our best to integrate to the culture, not to live out of government handouts and impose our ways

@denisyurchak @visegrad24 I been living in Poland for 9 years and I’ve never experienced racism, I know a community of latin americans who can say the same. I think that anti-foreigner sentiment is a response to the excess inmigration you see in other part of Europe and that want to be imposed to Poland

I love being in Poland because there is no deficit of capitalism here You want to buy something at 10 PM? There is a Zabka convenience store on every corner (some of them completely automatic; Poland has the biggest network of human-less stores in Europe) The cafes are full of people working on their laptops You hear folks discussing tech and products on videos calls (and nobody is trying to usher you out because you are not sitting with a book or a paper newspaper on Tuesday 11 AM like in Germany or Austria) When you look at the ads on the street, you actually see interesting creatives and products (unlike Vienna, where the subway, the most expensive place to advertise, is full of the ads of lawyers and dentists that look like are from the 80s). Of course, there is a lot of downsides to the Poland system too. The political system is quite broken, with two personalistic parties fighting for power (one slightly more corrupt than the other). There is a lot of anti-foreign sentiment, the country is visibly less international than Germany, Austria of France. Both parties push for stricter immigration rules, while you already wait on average 12 months to get you residence as a high-qualified worker And lately they had some of the protectionist mind virus developing as well, prohibiting trade on Sundays for example Overall tho, if you live in the Western Europe and forgot how good capitalism feels, Poland is an awesome country to come and remind yourself of it

@Hispanomar81430 @OliverCanika @AltRightEspan Polonia ha recibido muchos €€ de la EU pero lo ha invertido eficientemente, en infraestructuras, manufactura, etc. Aquí se beneficia a las empresas y comercio, no se persiguen a los emprendedores como delincuentes como en Espana… Eso de que “no exporta”, ni sabes lo que dices.

Una joven polaca se marcha de España y vuelve a su país cansada de la inseguridad y compara como es la vida diaria en ambos países.
