Surely you mean an 'immigration' problem. Poland must surely have suffered for the massive emigration of young working people to the rest of Europe. We in the UK have been paying the pensions gap with the toil of Polish people for a number of years.

And in the UK. Indeed it seems that the UK government were very close indeed to forming a pact with Hitler.

There was a UK facist movement, and the Daily Mail newspaper(still going) ran the headline 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts', the blackshirts were the UK facists. It is a liberal joke to call them the 'Daily Heil' in return for this.

It just goes to demonstrate the absurdity of the idea of a country being good or bad. People are good or bad, not the rocks they stand on.

Yes...but. You can't do a SQL join between the data in an excel table and a remote database via a nice GUI front end using just .NET and ODBC. I am evaluating this product at the moment, and it looks really useful for Finance/analyst types

I like this idea. For many off grid situations energy density and weight is not that big of an issue compared to cost. If instead of the size of a 'Powerwall' you had to have something the size of a coal bunker or compost bin, that wouldn't really be an issue at all if the materials were very low cost and I could build it myself.

There seems to be a pattern of US tech getting special tax treatment from the UK. Google pays little. Amazon avoids payroll taxes by exploiting self employed. Starbucks exploits brand licensing to move profits abroad.
