Getting ready for Christmas. erstwhile I'm done with this writing, I'm going to wipe the carpet and wash the windows. I know that's what Mom would want. Mom's gone, and this Christmas will be the first 1 I'll spend all alone. Sad, but what to do. You gotta live to live.
Sometimes politics pulls me out of a depressing mood. The presidential election doesn't give me much emotion. The second circular will be important, and I already wrote on this forum who I will vote for. In these elections, I am accompanied by the belief that they will not fix anything or improve anything. I hope modestly that it will not be worse, and although somewhat limited will be the thieving state management strategy introduced by the Law and Justice.
What stimulated my emotions was the announcement by Prime Minister Donald Tusk about the “repolonisation of the economy”. Right away, I'm afraid of it. After president Donald Trump's actions, is it a fashion for renationalization of economies? For example, the UK government announced the redemption of the British Steel company, in which they wanted to put out the last large steel furnaces in the UK. In Poland, Prime Minister Tusk announced the government's rescue of “Rafako” which is bankrupt. The emergency is to control production to weapons. I have already written late that if there is no supply abroad, shifting production to arms is an economical way to nowhere.
Prime Minister Tusk has not yet explained precisely what he means by Polishization of the economy. I'm afraid it's going to be statement. specified actions, caused by immediate political needs, have already been conducted by the Law and Justice. With the example of Huta Stalowa Wola, I can show that it has not brought any economical advantage. I've written about it. What's more, the D.A. should have taken care of this long ago. He did not deal with and after Tusk's announcements, specified affluently unprofitable “polonization” will most likely not be prosecuted, but even shown as patriotic activity. In contrast to the economical sense of this, economical sabotage cannot be demonstrated in any way. However, is there a state-run business run by the economy? Making a profit is not a decisive criterion here, since most of these state-owned companies mostly have no competition, so costs do not should be borne. And in this case a good example is Huta Stalowa Wola.
I think that the thought of "polonisation of the economy" makes quite a few sense, despite various fears and bad experiences. However, I fear that both Prime Minister Tusk and the PiS – as he has already proved – are far from that sense. I mean the burden of abroad capital on specified liabilities as Polish capital. To this extent, it is possible to mention, for example, the taxation burden on abroad commercial networks, for which Poland is simply a very attractive place to draw untaxed profits. In addition, I am very curious whether Prime Minister Tusk will decide that American IT companies should start paying taxes on giant profits from the Polish market. The governments of the Law and Justice Department in the name of the failure of an “alternative ally” did not charge these companies with paying taxes to the Polish budget.
And 1 more criterion that will verify whether Tusk is actually reasoning about Polishization of the economy. This is about economical relations with Ukraine, which are simply outrageously unfavourable to Poland. Will the Polish national interest be heard in this case? Personally, I highly uncertainty it.
If the slogan of the Polish economy is taken seriously, it is very questionable to nationalise different branches of the economy, or only individual businesses. As many examples show, organization cameras, career cameras, etc. are gaining on this. They have thousands of well - paid jobs and almost no responsibility. And again, Stalowa Wola can be a disgraceful example here. However, the implementation of the motto of the Polish economy should begin by aligning the conditions of functioning of enterprises with Polish capital with those of abroad capital. Of course, Polish capital is simply discriminated against. Here's another example from Steel Will. The Korean company, which was to launch a copper foil factory, was to receive backing from the Polish government of about half a billion zlotys. As far as I know, the mill won't move. What about half a billion? I am convinced that if we pumped this money into Polish companies operating in Stalowa Wola, it would bring excellent results. I know what I'm saying. For years I have known many steel-wolf entrepreneurs and have been aware of barriers to the improvement of their companies. If they had access to specified capital, it would consequence in modernisation of production, employment, and in respective cases consequence in the creation of their own final product, due to the fact that specified production generates the highest profits.
It's all as simple as that, but for decades, it hasn't been able to break through and turn into concrete legal and economical solutions. The slogan about Polishization of the economy, erstwhile Polish remains in this economy, unfortunately, do not sound credible. It would should be a real revolution. No government has been specified a revolutionary since 1989, and I don't think it has. As usual in Poland, if something can go wrong, it will go away, that is, the Polishization of the economy will end in nationalization, which seldom brings good economical results, but it strengthens various scourges that destruct the economy.
