I understand that as having a managing experience of crunching numbers, you focus on whether economy is humming or nor. In this perspective, the situation is not so bad. There are jobs, that's true.
But the disposable income is not so great. The energy costs in Poland are one of the highest in EU, this is not good for industry. We do not have any really advanced industry in Poland, we are not indispensable part of world economy. The electronic industry, the second in the East Block after USSR, which even created the first personal computers (Elwro series) here, instead of being developed to make silicon wafers, was actually destroyed by Western buyouts. I mean, we weren't actually so backward as we were told in 1989. Actually, I think Greece and Spain were more backward, we had pretty versatile economy, more like Italy I would say. A lot of agricultural backwardness, but also a lot of modern industry with its own research base.

As for a backward agriculture - taking into account the coming peak oil problems, I am not sure whether it was such a good idea to get rid of it.
Cannot agree that mortgaging is always better than renting: I know one family, in Warsaw, who is under water due to their new suburbian house (they are architects and architects can be obsessive about design) so much that they rented out this house, for themselves renting just a small apartment, just to pay the house mortgage (and they are still working). They are trying to sell this house, but no one wants to pay its mortgage value.
Banks are not your friends: I remember that during the mortgage boom I correctly recognized that USD-indexed mortgage might be actually a good idea, and so I went around to ask, but no, CHF yes, EUR yes, but USD mortgage - no, not possible at all for a private individual.
Even though I live partly in Germany, I cannot really tell whether Arabs are such a great danger to your life. Also, long time ago I happened to live a few months in Syria, and this war rather a polite society. However, this is of course a different culture, with much higher level of assertiveness, confidence, brashness than the German one. You have to be polite but decisive with them. And you have to learn that they can shamelessly lie, smiling, straight into your face, with intensity so great that on the emotional level you actually get convinced, being backstopped only by logic, so you finally say what you must say, "No, my friend, no, no". But it cannot be also the German way of fighting about small things (but not about big things): "I said No twice, and now I will call police. Polizei, Polizei!".
Yet I remember a pretty German girl who said to me that
"Türkische Männer sind hier gefragt", and with a mischievous smile she said that. Well, most of raped women were some kind of
Flüchtlinghelferinenn, weren't they? And since I remember this mischievous smile, I cannot make myself believe that they were all naive
Gutmenschen.
To me, German men who in this situation suddenly get agitated about the German women honour look like men who fight for women who don't even want to sleep with them; what they are effectively fighting for seems like "woman's right to consensual sex with her rapist". Well, it is strange, pathetic, bizarre. White-knighting and cucking at the same time. But sometimes it almost looks to me like the German men jump at this bandwagon of "defending women", just because
defending women is still "allowed", and thus is almost the only remaining socially accepted possibility of expressing your disagreement to Arab/Black immigration; nevertheless, this opportunity is essentially vicarious in character, a bit like cuck pleasures in Cuck & Bull porn. Therefore, it is tainted.
For all these reasons, I have a strong cognitive dissonance in respect to what is happening in Germany between its men, its women, and refugees.
