A man writes, and Marshal Hołownia, so to speak, carries the ammunition. Just yesterday, I wrote a piece about the 20% protective tariffs the USA imposed on the EU, and today, Marshal Hołownia (the First Crybaby of the Third Polish Republic) decided to speak on the matter. And it was a weighty, confident statement, none of that wishy-washy nonsense. According to Marshal Hołownia, the United States is now „playing the waiting game” and counting on other countries to come forward and negotiate tariffs. Of course, Poland is not among those countries, because, under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Regulation (EU) No. 2021/444 of the European Parliament and Council, Poland has relinquished such authority to the European Commission. So, we might want to import American bourbon without any tariffs, but wanting is not the same as being able. And we cannot! We must patiently wait for instructions from Brussels.
While waiting, we will seek new (non-European) markets for cheap EU products. Writing „cheap” was a bit of an overstatement, like a Chinese kite soaring too high. Sure, go ahead and raise energy prices even more, and the only companies with somewhat balanced finances will be the ones installing bicycle dynamos under their desks. Marshal Hołownia believes that under Donald Trump’s leadership, the USA will wake up with their hand in the toilet, as if the Democrats hadn’t already placed the USA in a urinal before?
But the most amusing part of Marshal Hołownia’s conference wasn’t that. Marshal Hołownia expressed surprise that „in a campaign, you can say anything,” and later be shocked that someone voted for a person who is doing exactly what they promised in the campaign. „Oh, he made cool videos, oh, he was fun to listen to, oh, it was so strong, and now it’s come back like a boomerang,” said Marshal Hołownia. „The guy promised paradise, and now we have the vestibule of hell in the USA.” And I thought to myself that the man knows what he’s talking about, as he’s on the short list of politicians who cry (over the Constitution) and the long list of those who—I wanted to write „lie,” but politicians never lie—are economical with the truth.
Marshal Hołownia jumped out of the plane without a parachute and is plummeting (at an alarming speed) toward collision with the ground. If Sławomir Mentzen’s lead is—let’s say 10%—there will be nothing left of Marshal Hołownia to gather up and piece back together. All that will remain is crying over the Constitution and a job at the nearest medical clinic as a consultant for cold calling patients. Always something to dry the tears.
