where is that whole Eastern European economic miracle I keep hearing all around
>>216112381You have a home, not rented you own it. Westerners don'tYou have a car although not the latest model you own it, you don't have to pay a monthly fee at the bank for it. Westerners don'tYour services are accessible, our taxes are low, they're not as high quality but you don't have to wait in front of hordes of foreigners. Westerners don'tYou can still afford a holiday although not in Bali in a private mansion. Westerners don'tErr...
>>216112381>south england richer than germany and scandinaviawhy do british flag posters complain about being poor then
>>216112381it's a miracle a country that was occupied by russia isn't starving
>>216112381>Mfw light blue city(Olsztyn)I made it bros, I fucking made it
>>216112539Makes you question how exactly was this calculated. Purchasing power isn't about raw $, only the number of things you can buy in your cunt for your $. So what exactly are we buying here?
>>216112659>Makes you question how exactly was this calculated.A German company does it so it's basically>Germany good rest badkind of rule
Turks, explain this.
>>216112732South Cyprus is a haven for richfags dodging conscription and taxation, so it's only natural for this to happen
>>216112539We compare ourselves with the other Anglo countries
I think 1000% growth in 35 years is pretty good.
>>216112886why isn't the north doing the same?
>>216112886okay so why North Cyprus cannot be the same?
>>216112496Holy cope, you have no idea just how much worse life is in the east
>>216113611>tfand how would a Slovene have any idea about this, you literally live in a paradise
>>216113633This is a shithole compared to any country north/west of us. Most of us here at least least self aware enough to know we live in an utter hellhole and aren't deluded into pretending we somehow have it better or even good. East will never catch up as the problem lives within the mentality of the people
>>216112539Because all they do is complain and whinge about everything
>>216112496Even a teenager could buy a house in cash here but the problem is that the location and shape will remind you a lot about Romania so nobody does it
>>216113611Nigga do you see my flag? There isn't a better place to live on Earth right now.
>>216112381on a different but related note, does this mean tourism on these blue countries is cheap?i literally never travelled in my life beyond schooltrips at 16-17
>>216113046>%same cope as ppp
>poortugal:(
>>216114168going from poor as shit, to middle income is pretty good from an on-the-ground perspective
>>216112381Wow, I didn't realize that East Germans had more purchasing power than people in the most regions of France and Sweden.
>>216113707From what Yugo anons say, Slovenes are actually pretty arrogant and self-confident (though they're justified in that)
desu Greece is the biggest blowimagine telling a Greek in 2007 that in 15 years his country would be on par with Turkey or Romania
>>216114574france is a sovietic shithole anon
>>216115045It shouldn't be this way. You were never occupied by the Russians.
>>216112381We have overtaken Portugal, that's pretty much it basically.
>>216112539all the wealth there belongs to south asian chads there, the average native englishman lives under worth conditions than a cattle slave
>>216112496holy cope. none of what you said happends here unless you choose to it that way.
>>216114897>imagine telling a Greek in 2007 that in 15 years his country would be on par with Turkey or Romanialol lmao>2007 GDP: Greece $218 billion, Romania $174.6 billion ,Turkey $651 billion>2025 GDP: Greece $267.35 billion, Romania $403.4 billion, Turkey $1.4 trillion
>>216115627per capita figures would be more meaninful in mogging them
>>216115188now imagine telling a Czech guy in 1913 that 100 years later Czechia will fall so low so Czechs would have to be happy that they surpassed Portugal, that probably didn't have even one serious industrial facility back in the days.
>>216117109People back then used to think differently. Portugal was a former colonial power with a much greater name recognition. We in comparison weren't a sovereign country for hundreds of years at that point. So I guess a person at that time period wouldn't like that we got poorer but would be happy for our future name recognition among the European nations.
>>216112381compare poland/lithuania to belarus
>>216117713I think Czechs were pretty recognizable under the name of Bohemians across Europe, though back then it could mean a German- or Slavic-speaking person at the same time.
>>216117778Belarus doesn't get the gibs from EU, doesn't count.
>>216117815Yeah, that's a complete bs. Bohemia was name for the country/region, not really associated with the people. We wouldn't exist anymore without the 19th nationalism. Just read that Sherlock Holmes travesty of a story about the "Czech king", so much for the recognizability!
>>216117928>We wouldn't exist anymore without the 19th nationalismNo nation would desu, 19th century nationalism created Czechs as much as it created modern Germans or even modern English or French people.
