Jean-Paul Oury took over the Polish network of opinions for a moment. For a moment, due to the fact that in this age everything happens for a moment. The planet is racing. It's crucial to retwitt, dig, pass on. Making the text scope as many people as possible. Jean-Paul did it.
Who's Jean-Paul Oury? A consultant for the fresh media, whom I met while working on Nicolas Sarkozy's first campaign, in 2007. A Frenchman who's choking in France today. Liberal.
Recently, during the economical Forum in Krynica, he began analyzing his earnings and calculating the level of fiscal burdens. Working as an independent entrepreneur in France, it retains 42.55% of what it will work out. If he were Polish, he'd be 70.8%.
Next: Poland is the only country in Europe with 3% growth, while the French economy has been stagnant for 2 years: over 3 million unemployed people were exceeded, 2 trillion (!) Euro debt was reached.
And then, creating jobs. If Seita closes factories in France today, it is to open them in Poland. Amazon driven from France – deploys in Poland. Cap Gemini like that. And another one.
Social insurance – excellent in Poland. Jean-Paul does not believe in his own eyes: he paid 200 Euro for dental lace, with the most modern materials. In France made of nickel amalgam: 1500 Euro!
Pensions – any of the French insurance banks will go bankrupt by 2017. And education: Jean-Paul's daughter goes to Polish school. In the PISA ranking, Poland overtakes France by 12 seats.
“Why I want to become a Pole” – after the release of this declaration, Jean-Paul started a storm. In the first hour, more than 100,000 people were acquainted with the text, but more importantly, it was “submitted” respective 100 times. It shortly turned out that the text meets all the conditions of a good network virus.
Firstly, individual told us that we are great, that we live better in Poland than in France. Secondly, individual said that sacrifices, work, revolutions, changes, even deception and hopes – all made sense. Thirdly, we have been told rather clearly that elsewhere, and west alternatively than east, is even worse.
By the way, it turned out that Polish politicians compared to those from France are not the worst. And not due to the fact that their abandoned partners don't compose books, but due to the fact that they realize how crucial the economy is.
And that's not precisely true? Or that they could effort better? Well, the Jean-Paul effect worked. For a moment, we could feel better from the outside.
