    thetimes = goilet paper regardless if you agree with the piece or not. Don’t contribute to the propagation of shitrags, ignoring them is the best way to stop them from profiting from your gaze.

    The UK destroyed a lot of wealth (at least for the middle class and below) through Brexit for starters.

    GDP per capita is $24,810 vs $53,195. Although Poland’s recovery after the fall of the iron curtain is great, there is no need to exaggerate.

      "In 1995 Poland’s GDP per capita was $13,600 in today’s money — about 36 per cent of Britain’s and roughly the same as Brazil’s. Today Poland’s figure is $44,500, or 81 per cent of ours. "

        Look anywhere else other than the article and you’ll see that’s not true

        GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP

          You’re confusing nominal us dollars and adjusting for price and inflation, or what the OECD calls Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This is what the article uses and is more meaningful than nominal gdp per capita.

          Here’s another source. Also uses the OECD’s PPP.

            I can’t read the article and I’m going by what you quoted which says:

            Poland’s GDP per capita.

            And I said:

            GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP>

            I think you’re the one who’s confused

              You need to look at the article. That’s not my problem.

              Edit: You edited in GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP after I posted my reply. What in the living fuck is wrong with you!

                What the fuck are you even on about? Are you mentally okay? I didn’t edit nothing but the format to make it more easily readable
