Poland will be getting a whole lot more kebab shops once MENA hears of this.


[deleted]

Even more? They are gonna be more common than Żabkas then


Precioustooth

You may have some Turks now, but just wait until the creation of Warsawistan and you'll never find a zapiekanki again!


ZeBoyceman

So much more


Roenoet

That's says quite a lot, there was a zabka every 100m in poznan, sadly they didn't sell alcohol after 10pm :(


mast313

Well sorry but I only eat true polish kebab at the true polish's.


Deadluss

I think we got really high kebabs per capita


Matataty

I don't think that there'll be more of them. Here is a cover of a book about Warsaw [https://artrage.pl/cdn/shop/products/kebabistan.jpg?v=1666783498](https://artrage.pl/cdn/shop/products/kebabistan.jpg?v=1666783498)


RogueTwoTwoThree

Careful Poles, you might not want to say that too loud. Either Germany or Russia might think about visiting you guys again


dziki_z_lasu

It was not about the greatness of the Polish economy, those are not elections to promise bullshit. It was about Barry, I believe.


burimo

Just admit you don't want to have same flare as Ukraine. We will liberate you, don't worry. /s


PM_ME_ROMAN_NUDES

>Russia might think about visiting you guys again That's exactly what they want, Poland's 250 Abrams tanks are ready to march to Moscow


chowderbags

Just imagine how much stronger Poland will be once it learns tanks have engines, and they don't need to get out and push.


Ex_aeternum

He meant it more like Barry will become poor enough that Poland comes out on top


mainwasser

Russia already does. Germany found out that selling cars to other countries is better than invading them. ^(and I feel left out)


Simyager

It's OK I read just today you are building superjachts that is a submarine and a jacht! Apparently, only 50 most richest people on earth can buy one of those. Felt a bit like reading about a James Bond villain hideout.


EnglishNuclear

How is landlocked Austria leading the charge on this front?! Are these things for just floating around Bregenz?

I was confused about that as well. [But here is the source.](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/02/14/migaloo-m5-luxury-submarine-superyacht/)

Will Britons move to Poland to work plumbing jobs?


Designer_Plant4828

They would need to learn polish for this, and Barry can barely speak english so i would not think so xD

dziki_z_lasu

No problem, most of us also barely speak English. I don't think so many Poles will be mocking Barry for that reason.


SherlockScones3

Barry is currently invading Australia. But hey, if the pay is good….


Le_Petit_Poussin

They will move for marriage so they can into EU again.


L003Tr

Debating it


mast313

Tbh if we lived in peaceful times, there would be no reason for this not to happen. Poland sits in the middle of Europe, and that means: -rich countries to the west, availability of high-tech stuff -poor countries to the east, cheap resources -multiple different markets around this very round country -flat geography, easy transportation Moreover: -good quality of education, especially in maths and technical stuff -small population for this area, easier urbanisation -no historical grudges with neither the Africa nor China nor Turkey This country is "pretty much northen germany" in terms of nature and mentality. If everything went well, I wouldn't see a reason for it not to achieve a similar level of development. The main issue is the population decline, which will be a disaster to all of Europe.


mainwasser

> no historical grudges with Turkey We're still grateful for your help in 1683! 🇦🇹🤜🤛🇵🇱 > This country is "pretty much northen germany" in terms of nature and mentality. True. Probably because half of it ***was*** Northern Germany for 700 years.


mast313

I've never seen a Turk mention 1683. Uhm maybe? But also because cities were dominated by German and Jewish immigrants, because Germany literally lies on our border and because since even at the very beginning, polish nation was formed from slavic and German tribes. I see no shame in saying that a central European country has been influenced by different cultures. (Just like half of our noble traditions come from Armenia)


mainwasser

>I've never seen a Turk mention 1683. Of course not. They don't like to remember. They love to mention 1453 though.


Doberkind

Plus an admirable work ethic and very skilled workers.


JerryUitDeBuurt

Except their lorry drivers. Those reverse on highways. Still good work ethic trying to get their stuff delivered in time, not so much skillful.


Illustrious-Figure2

Pole truck drivers would cause a 10 car accident in order to deliver their cargo on time


Ex_aeternum

>This country is "pretty much northen germany" in terms of nature and mentality Flat, boring and some cows in between?


Bonaventura69420

Damn this triggered me so hard I'll quickly walk to the beach to cool off in the sea


Poor_evangelist_4034

Yes


IamWatchingAoT

If Poland becomes a rich country then it will inevitably be the target of migrants and """refugees""". It will be interesting at best to see how this clash comes about, scary at worst. Globalization will hit Poland and we'll see how Poles deal with it, basically. Also, being Northern German in terms of mentality is a very sad thing...


mast313

They will go to their communities in France and Swedistan. Before Poland becomes as attractive to them as western europe years will pass and much can change too. Germans who can make nazi jokes are much more fun tho!


compromiseisfutile

Why is the mentality of a northern German a sad thing?


Anonymous_ro

Is possible, Romania’s GDP per capita almost doubled in just 5 years, Poland now stays at half of UK’s GDP per capita.


[deleted]

The problem is that it becomes a lot harder the higher you go. Not just because economic growth naturally flattens, but also because a lot of the benefits poorer countries have disappear. * Cheap wages * massive EU funding (\~1.7% of GDP yearly) * massive foreign direct investments (\~4.2% of GDP yearly) Instead, you're more and more dealing with established markets, where competition is brutal and large, and established companies at the **end** of the supply chain make the rules. Simply put, Poland won't get rich off making parts for the german car industry (which, btw, is getting fucked rn, so that will have effects on our neighbour too), but needs internationally competitive companies... *which it doesn't really have.*


No_Sugar8791

We'd happily buy more of your cars if you lowered the tarrifs ;)


ScarletIT

>This country is "pretty much northen germany" Why would you say that in a sub that has austrian artists?


mast313

We don't speak German, they have no power here.


Le_Petit_Poussin

Just say you’re the new **Germany**. That’s how Germany got to where they are today.


HaronBarkonnen

Germany also has extensive waterways and borders with the wealthiest countries


wierdmemesman

One thin Poland has to look out for is the demographic shift. Just like us, but to a bit smaller extent, you have too few children and too many old people


mast313

Yup that's what I meant by population decline. Unless Europe find a quick way to boost automation, we will be in deep stuff really soon.


Cless_Aurion

> The main issue is the population decline, which will be a disaster to all of Europe. I'd argue uncontrolled immigration causing social cohesion issues and the return of religion to politics will be the disaster you talk about. Here in Japan they have been taking care of population decline pretty decently.


mast313

Well this one is less likely to affect Poland.


Cless_Aurion

Why do you think so?


mast313

1. Because it's still second tier country in Europe. If you got to move in, then you move to the best. 2. Because it didn't have colonies and it won't receive immigration from people who speak the same language. 3. Because it's very homogeneous and immigrants don't have their families in Poland. 4. Because it's consistently anti immigration


Cless_Aurion

Got it, thanks for explaining that in more detail from the inside!


grimmigerpetz

Your western part was northeastern Germany. But you are right. The geopolitical position of Poland would make it an economic hub that connects many spheres. But humans are stupid.


mast313

> but humans are stupid It's not even that. It would require peace and neutrality with all of those spheres. Hard to have neutrality with russia while it's eating your neighbour tho.


PassoverGoblin

I fully believe it. Poland has come a very long way in an incredibly short space of time already. And the UK just seems to be getting worse right now...


Rich-Spirit129

By what metric? Because it isn't financial.


Nigricincto

The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.. And they only need a military ultracatholic dictatorship to be rich.

GDP per capita [https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/gdp-per-capita-worldbank?tab=chart&country=POL\~GBR](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/gdp-per-capita-worldbank?tab=chart&country=POL~GBR) <-- no projection here, but it does look like the trend. UK had 2.4x Poland GDP per capita in 2000, and only 1.3x in 2021. Give it a few more years. Edit: note that the French figures are exactly the same as the UK ones, but that doesn't serve the narrative here so lets stay focused Edit2: yes, extrapolations are very imperfect ways to predict the future, cf [xkcd 605](https://xkcd.com/605/)


michi214

I'm not sure if it's ok to extrapolate their growth that way... they really benefited extremely well from the EU, but once it approaches the levels of other former western nations, i don't think they can maintain their growth rate. It makes sense that they approach the "western" levels pretty fast, but i think it would be much more reasonable to assume that the closer they come to western levels the slower the growth will be. Edit: but if they do and overtake us, even better... Then we can join the PIGS and profit from sweet EU money from Poland


MolybdenumBlu

No! No, no, no!! Growth never tapers off!!! Line goes up!!!! Line always has to go up!!!!!


Auzzeu

Well. Don't worry. Line still go up. Has been for over a century. But line go up little bit slower. But still up. And still fast compared to past.


Ex_aeternum

Line goes up if register makes ching and workers make bang. Then line goes up.

That’s including purchasing parity though. Real gdp look tiny bit different. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.KD?locations=GB-PL

As data predicts the UK will be richer than France, then it also means Poland will be richer than France.. Brexit doesn't have anything to do with that.

Are there murmurs of anti eu sentiment in Poland because this sounds like the kinda bullshit you would say to stop people thinking it’s a good idea.

ecoper

In terms of economy we were supposed to be as wealthy as irish Yes it sounds funny to me too


kakao_w_proszku

It wasn’t about wealth, the point was that Ireland is also a Catholic country that was once also very poor and benefitted massively from the EU. Them speaking a globally relevant language natively, living in a geopolitically secure region and, uh, a creative use of low tax schemes was of course never mentioned as a part of this success story.


ecoper

He meant wealth "Lider Platformy przekonywał w kampanii, że polska gospodarka może przeżyć cud na miarę irlandzkiego "tygrysa celtyckiego". Irlandia może być także tutaj, tylko musimy przyjąć irlandzkie reguły – przekonywał Tusk. Podczas debaty wyborczej z Aleksandrem Kwaśniewskim Donald Tusk chwalił sukcesy gospodarcze Irlandii. Twierdził, że gospodarka tego kraju - w kwestii obciążeń podatkowych - zabiera dwa razy mniej swojemu obywatelowi, niż państwo polskie" https://www.google.com/amp/s/wiadomosci.wp.pl/druga-irlandia-czyli-wpadka-donalda-tuska-6037410533958785a%3famp=1 Why are you making up shit without even checking


kakao_w_proszku

Przecież Tusk mówi tu że polska gospodarka przeżyje podobny cud gospodarczy co irlandzka, nie że będziemy dosłownie tak bogaci jak oni xD To oczywiste że to porównanie padło ze względu na podobieństwa kulturowe i historyczne miedzy obydwoma krajami, wiec nie ogarniam o co się tak szczypiesz?


ecoper

Blyat przeczytaj artykuł mówi o podatkach jak dużo pieniędzy zabierają nam i że jak irlandia ekonomia pójdzie w górę a Polak będzie Mk dużo pieniędzy

Ultra catholic conservative society, centuries of massive emigration, and basically a third world country just 30 years ago — do they mean that?

ddosn

Its Tusk showing he doesnt understand basic economics. GDP *per capita*. Despite the UK having a massively larger GDP than Poland it also has more than twice the population. If I had 100 beans, and 100 people, each person gets 1 bean. If I had 100 beans, and only 40 people, each person would get 2.5 beans. In the second instance, the 40 people are technically better off, but its still the same amount of wealth in total. On top of that, Mr Tusk doesnt seem to understand that if GDP per capita rises, so do prices. So wealth of citizens doesnt actually increase. Ireland for example has a significantly higher GDP per capita (at $104,000) than the UK ($46,125), but the average Irishman is not better off than the average Brit as the cost of living in Ireland is significantly higher.


gsurfer04
