....and obesity is a kind of a choice-suizide. Nobody puts a gun to their heads....figuratively spoken.

Trust me, guns are not the problem in America

Maybe shooting dead all the fat people would be a great American solution to your obesity problem...... ;-)

I don't see any problem with fat people. It's so easy to look good standing next to them with just ten extra pounds.

Same with the stupid. With my IQ of 90, I would be a genius in Africa.

Amtrak

Amtrak is an ancient piece of garbage. And yes polands public tramsport system is way better. I could hop onto a train now and be in another country within a few hours and itll cost me a few dozen euros. And most poles have 2 or more cars per family. Difference is most americans unless you live smack in the middle of an urban area youre sol without a car. Basically all poles have the option of using a car or public transport whether its a short distance or long distance trip, most americans dont. And if you do take public transport youll be sitting next to ghetto smelly trash mixed and not white europeans

LOL.....compared to Poland's.........get real.

Unlike the usa, the average person can get healthcare regardlesa of preexiating conditions. The whole reason why we pay zus/kruz is because of the abysmal state od us healthcare. If yoyre a small business owner or self employed and you have a preexisting condition youre screwed. Before obamacare my parents couldnt even get health insurance namely my mom because either theyd get denied or itd be outrageously expensive. So yes healthcare is far better in poland. Not to mention the care is more personable and they vring you stuff the americans dont even think of like vitamins, healthy food, fresh juices. Here they just tell you to call the caf downstairs.

If youre a multi millionaire then yes usa has better medical tech but for a middle or upper middle class person esp self employed hands down poland is better. And the private care is far far cheaper.

With trumpcare who the hells kniw what will happen esp for people with preexisting conditions. The majority of americans dont want obamacare to go away and neither do i.

There are multi modern cultural centers plus Federal Parks, National Parks, State Parks, County Parks

Parks.. how fun.. aside from perhaps the redwood forests in california and maybe some places in wisconsin alaska michigan usa forests are mostly mixed forests that are basically a northern hemisphere jungle. You wont see birch forests like in poland where it looks like its straight out of a fairy tale with the trees all perfectly lined up and you can actually walk throigh them without hacking your path using a machete.

Usa doesnt have a single palace, castle or any buildings for that matter from the middlr ages or rennaisance. The art and other cultural artifacts the us has in museums came from europe.

In summary, usa mostly sucks for the average person. Imo its only good for working to save money and live in a cheaper place and use the social security since 1k 1.5k a month wont even pay your rent in most us cities. And thats if youre making enough money to actually save a meaningful sum which majority of americand dont because wages have been stagnant and costs rising, again unlike poland where wages have kept up with costs.That and i guess the freedom of speech and ability to be armed which id trade for a safer country even with censorship if the life overall is more enjoyable. Even something as simple as vacation days the polish workers take like 2 maybe even 3x as many paid vacation days as us workers. Even wealthy people lose everything here because of healthcare costs and before obamacare not getting covered or it being way too expensive. That isnt an issue in poland. And as far as waiting times ive never seen that be an issue for anyone in my family including a grandpa who is currently battling cancer.

When that one artist made an 18k gold toilet and called it america (recently stolen for its 7 figure gold content) i couldnt think of a better metaphor.

Let's bottom line it: out of 100 Polish engineering graduates, how many, knowing all of that, would refuse to move to the US?

Dirk diggler
20 Sep 2019  #1058

Probably the vast majority at this point in time. Theres a reason why poles arent coming to the usa anymore. They either stay in poland or if they want higher wages they go to uk, germany, etc.

Poles stopped coming to the usa about a decade ago and now its a tiny trickle, almost none. One stat i recall seeing was like 4k 5k a year which is a fraction of what use to come decades ago.

In some ways usa is better than poland donr get me wrong. But in terms of daily life for an average middle or upper middle class person imo poland is far above the us.

That would wipe out the current American population within approx. 22 years. It's 40,000 a year.

Nope, it's 40,000 a month.
Here, read the articles for yourself and then post that I was right and you were wrong again.

Most sources say 300,000 a year (google "Obesity death USA"), but still a surprisingly large number. Looks like the USA will need all those slim Latino/ Hispanic babies after all. "Mr. Trump, tear down that wall". LOL!

You were half right. Congratulations, you win a can of SlimFast. By the way: check out where most fatsos live. Trumpland...

Before obamacare my parents couldnt even get health insurance

How many times do you have to repeat this pity party story.
They could get it, they just didn't want to pay for it as you have told us how rich they are. (Maybe that is why they are so rich)

Does Poland have Medicare and Medicaid like we do for people who can not afford health insurance ?
So your folks rolled the dice when they were in good health by not paying premiums for affordable health insurance and now they want someone else to pick up their catastrophic healthcare bills when something happens. How typical.

Plus most doctors and hospitals will not accept obama care that generally has at least a $5000 plus deductible so how does that help the poor ?

The majority of americans dont want obamacare to go away and neither do i.

I do as it raised responsible peoples premiums who had private healthcare up by around $15,000 a year more per year then what they were paying before obama care.

and use the social security since 1k 1.5k a month wont even pay your rent in most us cities.

Social security was not set up to be your sole retirement income, it was set up as a supplement to your savings and unearned income.

That is why when I see people going to the casino, doing cocaine, going on trips living beyond their means start crying when it is time to retire and they are broke I remind them of the seven P's.

Prior Proper Planning Prevents P iss Poor Performance.
But hell no, they live today like there is no tomorrow blowing their inheritance like a drunken sailor.
Daddy, I want that new $1200 cell phone like Trump has. lol

I am really curious who and why buys those 1200 atrocities. My Moto E5 phone was 80 bucks at HSN, including 1500 minutes, 1500 texts, and 1500 MB of data for a year . When I asked an Apple salesman how is that top of the line phone of his better than mine, he started bsing me about the camera - all subjective.

People on welfare Rich.

Is there an application that shows how much these useless people cost me as a taxpayer?

johnny reb
21 Sep 2019  #1065

Here Rich, let me explain as simple as I can how it works in America.

Internal Revenue Service = Income Tax
The fine you pay for being productive

Social Services = Welfare
The reward you get for being unproductive

Rich Mazur
21 Sep 2019  #1066

That reminder does not make me feel good. It actually make me feel stupid.
In my next life, I will be a beach bum on welfare or dating cougars.

U.S. Army Prepares for Large Scale Global Combat as New Chief of Staff Takes Command.
The United States has a new Chief of Staff and has recommended that an Army battalion be moved to Europe (my guess Poland) to be on high alert stand bye for rapid deployment.

Three to five battalions, approximately 1,500 to 4,000 soldiers, comprise a brigade.
Other brigades will be strategically placed in other parts of the world also.
Trumps on a mission.

I thought a battalion is smaller at several hundred soldiers aka several companies of about 100 per battalion. When i was in rotc i dont think we even had a full 300 in my battalion.

Might be bigger for infantry though and smaller for af, navy, etc

"Trump says US must stop its 'endless wars' and bring troops home"

Can you not understand his words within the context? Are you that simple? Trump is a very good president of US.

Dirk diggler
21 Sep 2019  #1073

I think youre referring to medicaid and even in that case most hospitals will take it, but not high end private doctors. Obamacare is an exchange where otherwise private insurance is subsidized and they cant deny you for preexisting.

Medicaid is made for low income. Or if youre not working and paying taxes its great as a free system. I had medicaid for a while and i never had a problem with it.

They could get it, they just didn't want to pay for it as you have told us how rich they are.

Were upper middle class, not rich. And even if we were to pay the 2k a month for 2 people it still wouldnt be worth it bc preexisting isnt covered. So you pay 2k but you cant even get treated for what actually ails you mote often than not. What a "progressive 30 years ahead" system....

Now they pay 1k a month which is still a lot but atleast theyre covered. Thank you obama for that! And **** you trump for trying to change it.

And its not just us who has a 'pity party' its millions of small biz owners and their families which drive americas middle class wealth.

In poland such things dont even enter the mind of citizens. Healthcare is universal plus you have tons cheap yet high quality private docs. You cant even get a doc to do house calls here anymote unless you want to pay $400 an hour. Another reason why poland > america, the 18kt gold toilet.

Social security was not set up to be your sole retirement income, it was set up as a supplement to your savings and unearned income.

No kidding. Except theres a good chance that i wont even see upon retirement it as its insolvent, unlike polands retirement and pension system.

Poland has one health insurance system. You either work or are registered as unemployed, unable to work. One working spouse can insure the other one. Otherwise you pay when you are treated. And of course any kids to the age of 18 (24 in the case of students)

One can supplement it with private health insurance if they want quicker dates etc.

Do you understand the difference between

"Trump says US must stop its 'endless wars' and bring troops home"

and

"Gen. James McConville said he wants mass deployments of troops around the globe to be ready, rather than sitting at standby from a base in the United States." ( newsweek.com/us-army-prepares-large-scale-global-combat-new-chief-staff-takes-command-1460611 ),

If the israelis and us jews want war, trump will undoubtedly abide.

Just make sure to buy some lockheed boeing etc stocks in anticipation. Or even bid on bizopps.gov. maybe you can even win a multi million dollar contract to set up bathrooms or transport cargo.

Can I have some of that stuff you're smoking?

$3k a pound all day everyday.

This is the question that we have been asking the Democrats that want free health care and free college tuition and have a trillion in college debt loans forgiven.

Not for "rapid deployment".
It seems like Europe is asleep to what is about to happen to Iran if they keep up their attacks.
Every country in NATO will become targets.
You will be happy as hell to have all the immediate support that you can get.

Rich Mazur

Every country in NATO will become targets.

If that ever happens, our NATO "partners" will have only one country to thank for it - us.
Why isn't China and Japan concerned about Iran, their nukes, and the attempts to disrupt oil deliveries, but we are? The country that claims to be energy independent.

Because the jews hate iran and therefore the shabbos goyim including their favorite goy trump hate iran.
