Each time I talk about Poland's breathtaking economic miracle, someone tries to argue that it is due to EU subsidies paid by Germany.

Guess what, Germany exports more to Poland than to China, Italy, or the UK. Nobody benefits more from the Polish boom than Germany.

Got it now?

The Euro was sold to Italy and Spain as a ticket to prosperity.
Instead, it stripped them of monetary sovereignty, crushed competitiveness, and locked into stagnation.

Germany got a currency weaker than it needed. Italy and Spain got a currency stronger than they could handle.

This is wild. Poland, with 37 million people, has fewer crimes than just Berlin, with not even 4 million.

Germany used to be such a respectable country. How did this happen?

@Liberfach0 Por su acento la chica pareciera ser Venezolana y lo digo porque es triste que muchos de nosotros salimos de Venezuela huyendo de cosas como la inseguridad y ahora en Europa, por las malas politicas que han tomado, han invitando a esa inseguridad a sus ciudades.

Europe spent 20 years believing regulations could replace growth, moral signaling could replace strategy, and dependence on rivals was “post-national sophistication.”

You cannot regulate yourself into prosperity. You cannot outsource security forever. You cannot stay geopolitically relevant while punishing productivity and cheap energy.

Europe still has incredible talent, culture, and infrastructure. But unless policies change dramatically, the 21st century will remember Europe less as a power center and more as an open-air museum with good healthcare.

The craziest part is that Europeans themselves know this. Ask any engineer, founder, or skilled worker under 35 where they want to move. The answer is increasingly America, Dubai, Singapore, or anywhere taxes and bureaucracy don’t suffocate ambition.

Is Europe a hopeless case, or can it leave left green ideology behind and thrive again?

Poland's economic wonder is simply amazing. Poland did many things right to become the growth champion of Europe.

The eight points below help explain how it happened. Other countries can learn a lot from the Polish way. It’s the opposite of what many European countries do.

The UK economy was not destroyed "by Brexit". If it were the cause, Germany and France would be thriving.

What demolished the UK economy, like the French and German ones, was net zero crippling industry and agriculture and keeping all EU taxes and overregulation.

@xcreed17 @patobonato In my 10 years living here, I have never experienced racism, and I have several friends from Latin America living and working here legally, who would be easy targets. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but if you behave, contribute, integrate, and respect, you will be fine.

@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.

@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

@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.

[M_Ferr @Maferrig]

@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

[M_Ferr @Maferrig]

@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

[M_Ferr @Maferrig]

@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.

@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.
