How long do you think it will take to rapidly developing countries in the East of Europe (such as Poland or the Czech Republic) to reach a quality of life equal to those on Western Europe?
Probably never, capitalism needs cheap workforce.

Forever.
It looks like the Far right will win and expell all Muslims. So never. Automation will bring back industry to Western Europe. Energy is cheaper in France than China.

It depends on the city. Warsaw gdp per capita was higher than several western cities in 2008, not to mention now.

I don't know, but we're going to shitter nevertheless. Even our innovation wont save us from limited natural resources and limited trade with Russia. And shit politicians of course.
Note Prague and Warsaw in this map.

You realize, that for majority of middle class life here is equal to your average middle class western life, and the main difference here is the ratio of poor to average/high income families?
And they wont be any richer any time soon. That's how poverty works.
Look at this>>51940934
I can leave anytime I want, with my education, fluency and all that I could easily ind a job in the west. But I can just as well earn good money here, so why bother?
Rich are gonna get richer, and poor are gonna stay poor because they are bydło.

it's not all about individual income, Sebastian. these kind of edgy antisocial, disdainful attitudes which you have presented are one of the reasons our poorer countries won't grow as much.

Berlin is an anomally in the fabric of space. Something as shitty as that city should not be possible to exist. Normally the capital is the richest city, because the government channels all the tax money and shit towards it for the government services, so there is a lot of money and earning money there should be easy. Yet Berlin manages to be poor as shit. And we even channel billions each year ADDITIONALLY towards it due to having a system that richer states have to help poorer states. Berlin is the main recipient and every single person in Berlin gets ~1000€ for free from the 3 green states.

>quality of life equal to West
I think there are cunts parts of Hungary or the czech republic that are equal in quality of life to many parts of Europe.(I'm not putting Sicily in the equation since that looks like a hell-hole,at least the cities). Since entering the EU the prospective poverty rate for children in Romania has actually increased by a lot(despite lower birth rates) as well as school drop-outs and teen pregnancy etc. There' no clear plan for the rural areas,unlike the commie plans. I would say 15 years for the quality of life to be like that in most Western cunts in all the current east eu block,including us bulgaria and Croatia. Cheaper wages also means cheaper housing that could be attainne by a young proffesional without resorting to banks,whch you rarely hear in the West.
What I'd be worried is the decreasing quality of life in the west as well as increased crime etc. Even growing up as a kid in the 90s(the worst years) I was never told not to go in ghettoes for fear of me being raped or robber but my french cousin told my mother years ago that she wouldn't go out at night as a teenager,which was a genuine shock to us.
