Do people in your country care about source of market-available products? Here in PL we have extremely popular smartphone-software called "Pola" that helps to make a consumer decision by providing detailed data about company.
For example i just bought "Lays" chips. This product gained 55 points, because it has factories in Poland, created R&D centers in Poland hiring Polish scientists, and pays taxes in Poland. The only bad thing about it is that it is not 100% Polish company but a subsidiary of PepsiCo.
I always try to buy products scored more than 50 points, including electronics if it is possible.
>>59871859
Will Zoładkowa Vodka get a 100?
>>59872004
Yes.
And +10 for good taste.
>>59872004
No idea, i don't drink vodka. But that's for example my shaving foam which collected 100 points because the company is based on 100% Polish capital.
>>59871859
>>59872149
Germans were really butthurt about this, to the point when they made some news that we're so nationalistic. It's funny because I'm more then sure that they tend to "buy German" if they can.
>>59872197
Yes, Germans are economical nationalists themselves, but they don't want other nations to be, that's understandable. Their economy is based entirely on export.

ah...good all Pepsico spreading America like the The Coca-Cola Company into areas that not even Health NGOs can reach.
>>59872308
We prolly got much more restrictive law when it comes to food and it's quality. You won't find GMO here.
>>59871859
Good idea
>>59872197
>It's funny because I'm more then sure that they tend to "buy German" if they can.
eh personally i don't give a fuck.
but it's probably not true in general. At least as far as groceries are concerned, the price is a lot more important to germans than its quality or where it's from although even the no-name brands are pretty gud here if not better than brand products in certain instances.
it's also part of the reason why germany is the cheapest country in western europe.
>>59872340
>You won't find GMO here.
for now
not that i give a shit
Protip: Pepsico is owned by Indians and the CEO is also Indian.

I bought a lot of Spanish products when the sanctions on Russia were enforced so that I'll help at least a tiny bit :3
But I often buy Polish stuff because it's just tasty, for example I like Frosta Mexican dish, but for 1 product like that I like 10 Polish ones that are just as or more tasty.
Take, my local producer, Iglotex(Olsztyn) for example. They make superb food so I buy it, the fact that it's Polish and local is just a huge plus.

A lot of capital in Poland is owned by foreign concerns (mainly German and Portuguse by virtue of Biedronka) to the point that some call us neo-colony.
>>59872864
Foreign capital is barely 16% of all capital in Poland. Compare it with Czech Republic or Slovakia
>>59872802
Have you seen the difference in prices Lithuanian vs polish
jesus christ it's like we make a german wage

If more Poles were smart enough to actually get a job in Germany I'm sure it would.
>>59872579
Polish goods are really cheap and are of fairly good quality
>>59872864
By they way, our government and businessmen reduced share of foreign capital in banks in Poland from 85% in 90s to barely 45% in 2016

That's not even true but I will humor you for a bit.
Because Poland is still one of the poorest regions in the EU so the EU invests a ton of money in your infrastructre.
Then again, all that money goes exclusively into highways. If you stray away from the major roads you'll find out that a ton of roads in rural Poland where the economy is pretty much ded are not more than dirt tracks.

I don't understand why you are lying so much. Nobody here wants to live in your shithole, that's why your government must bring millions of brown people from other continents without even checking their IDs. You counted on "flood of Poles" and got barely few thousands. If you were as attractive as UK at least, you could boast here about things.

>Poland is LITERALLY shittier than ROMANIA and BULGARIA
Fiction can't tell such stories.
>>59873390
You should check how EU funds are distributed per capita. Moreover, we get barely 5 bln euro netto / year, it is less than 1% of our GDP. It is a handout, EU should be even ashamed to talk about such sums of money. F.e. our new rocket system Homar costs around 10 bln dollar. We pay for oil and gas to Russia every year 20 bln dollar. It is really shitty money you give us, you know? Maybe because EU is poorer than it tries to present itself in propaganda.
i never saw so much wykop in one thread on /int/

The common Pole is simply not smart enough to learn the language of the master race. English is a lot easier and more suited to the mental abilities of the Pole, hence there's a lot of Poles in the UK where they make a better living by cleaning toilets than they ever would in Poland with an actually respectable job.
>>59873452
> all nationalities present themselves in better light than they really are, including third world shitholes
> everybody shits in Poland against obvious facts
> let's be self-hating additionally
Foreigners scorn and hate our country more than you could ever imagine. Why should we do the same?
Yes we have that too.
Especially with meat, many people here seriously believe meat from abroad is dangerous and full of hormones and they will not buy it. As a result on packaged meat you can even see the adress of the farmer where it's from now.
>>59873509
That's because your country is not as attractive economically as Sweden, Norway or UK where majority of Polish immigrants work. And what kind of "language" do you need to do a physical job?
>>59873523

Do you have, like regional preferences as well? For example if someone buys food he'd rather buy it from his regional producer?
>>59873568
I didn't come here from any fucking wykop, i simply don't like when foreign scum talks shit about my country and nation. I see this human trash everyday in my city in huge quantities, if Poland is so bad, why these animals come here?
You karaczarners are real cancer of imageboards because you only give credibility to these foreign animals who insult Poland
>>59872918
I heard that you often do shopping in Poland
>>59873580
Yes, many supermarkets have a regional section now where they only have food that was produced in the same province.
>>59873603
>i simply don't like when foreign scum talks shit about my country and nation.
you realize you said that on a board where everyone shits on everyone else based on their flag, what are you even doing here other than spreading the news how great and happy our country is?
>>59873653
I only demand from you to shit on foreigners, instead on Poland, that's all. If everyone plays this way with Poland, we should act the way they do.
>>59873650

The easiest way to spot an idiot in this country is to see somebody driving a German or American car.

I wonder that if you can find a flaw in the text I highlighted, my raghead opponent.
>>59873675
Best thing is to buy directly from farmers. Ask if they are slaughtering something the next days and ask them to put aside some of the best quality for you. Much cheaper than buying it somewhere else too.
>>59873710
Well VW just tried to gas half of Europe with their cars.

>I know a few polack jokes
Guess who brought them to the USA. Poland is even currently a victim of global organized action of defamation ("Polish death camps" and stuff). We are hated and scorned by most of the world, without any rational reason. That's called polonophobia
Some of the early 20th century Polish jokes might have been told originally before World War II in disputed border-regions such as Silesia, suggesting that Polish jokes did not originate in Nazi Germany, but a lot earlier, as an outgrowth of regional jokes rooted in historical social class differences.[3] Nonetheless, these jokes were later fuelled by ethnic slurs disseminated by German warlords and National Socialist propaganda that attempted to justify the Nazi crimes against ethnic Poles by presenting them as dirty and relegating them as inferior on the basis of not being German.[4][5]
Polish Americans became the subject of derogatory jokes at the time when Polish immigrants came to America in considerable numbers fleeing mass persecution at home perpetrated by Frederick the Great[6] and Tsar Nicholas I.[7][8] They took the only jobs available to them, usually requiring physical labor. The same job-related stereotypes persisted even as Polish Americans joined the middle class in the mid 20th century. "These degrading stereotypes were far from harmless. The constant derision, often publicly disseminated through the mass media, caused serious identity crises, feeling of inadequacy, and low self-esteem for many Polish Americans." During the Cold War era, despite the sympathy in the US for Poland being subjected to communism, negative stereotypes about Polish Americans endured, mainly because of the Hollywood/TV media involvement.[9][10]
>>59873746
Some Polish jokes were brought to America by German displaced persons fleeing war-torn Europe in the late 1940s.[4] During the political transformations of the Soviet controlled Eastern block in the 1980s, the much earlier German anti-Polish sentiment—dating at least to the policies of Otto von Bismarck and the persecution of Poles under the German Empire—was revived in East Germany against Solidarność (Solidarity). Polish jokes became common, reminding some of the spread of such jokes under the Nazis.[11]
>>59873603
>I see this human trash everyday in my city in huge quantities, if Poland is so bad, why these animals come here?
you see, poles are talking shit about the giant bad rotten west erryday but still 2,3 million of them is sitting there as immigrants
and for fuck sake we just have ukrainians which arent really that bad
>>59873719
Oh man, I wish.

If you knew English you would realize it's not a mistake but a figure of speech.
Also it's okay to be upset Poland. Don't hold back, you can cry.
>>59873922
I already told you that EU funds are less than 1% of our GDP. It is not money, it is a handout. You earn incomparably bigger money on selling your shit in Poland, but thankfully it changes to the better now, because 75% of Polish consumers prefer Polish products to foreign ones.
>>59873777
I don't know anyone of polish heritage honestly, people tend to mix in if they look white after a generation.

>several billions of euros each year
>calls it a "handout"
You don't appear to have any common sense in regards to the value of money. Which makes sense since I suspect that you, being a Pole, don't have any money in the first place.
>>59874053
No, i didn't say it. When we created a "small border movement" with Kaliningrad, it helped to improve Eastern-Northern Poland economically a lot. It was a region with highest unemployment in Poland and still is, i guess, but now things are a bit better there.
>>59874086
also funny thing in suwalki there are lithuanian advertisements everywhere, it was funny when I went there the first time
also everyone there spoke lithuanian haha
>>59874059
I already told you that we must pay Russia 20 bln dollar every year for oil and gas, it is 4x more than we take from EU. Our new rocket system Homar costs around 10 bln dollar. Our infrastructure investments are counted in hundreds of billions of dollars. This your HANDOUT (5 bln euro loooool) is a joke if you compare it with a scale of our economy. It is LESS THAN 1% OF OUR GDP, around 0,7% to be exact.

>Halfway through a 229 billion-euro ($317 billion) EU aid package, more than the entire Marshall Plan for postwar Europe in today’s dollars, the money kept the Polish economy growing when the rest of the continent went into recession. The new business parks, highways, soccer stadiums and airport terminals also mask how for many Poles the passage to prosperity is still to come, with 17 percent of families of four living on less than $400 a month.

Well gee, you Poles love capitalism so much, about time you learned there are two sides to that coin.
Regarding the app: sounds like a good idea, especially if applied to groceries, no one should be able to force you to buy international products. Then again, you can't expect the EU to humour you for an infinite amount of time if you don't "give back"
http://msp.gov.pl/en/polish-economy/economic-news/4015,dok.html
>The new budget set the funds allocation for Poland at EUR 105.8 bln (PLN 441 bln), including EUR 72.9 bln (PLN 303.6 bln) in the Cohesion Policy framework and EUR 28.5 bln (PLN 118.8 bln) as Common Agricultural Policy payments. The fund allocation for Poland is nominally higher than in the previous budgetary perspective, in the years 2007-2013, when the Cohesion Policy subsidies for Poland amounted to nearly EUR 68 bln and the total allocation to EUR 101.5 bln. In the light of the current arrangements, over the next seven years Poland will be the biggest EU funds beneficiary among all the member states, not only the biggest beneficiary of the Cohesion funds alone as has been the case so far.
