DrStool Posted January 19 Author Report Share Posted January 19 If you need expensive dental work, take a vacation in Croatia instead and get the dental work done for 85% less than in the US. Highly skilled dentists. Modern facilities. Those of you who were here may remember,ย I did it 5 years ago and got $14,000 US dental work done for $2,200. And it held up great. Enjoyed 6 weeks in Split Croatia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStool Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 By the way, prices for dental work are about the same in Poland, but you don't want to go to Poland before May. The weather is awful in winter and tends to be rainy in April.ย I also had regular dental work there like fillings. An exam with a cleaning was 45 euros and a filling was also around 75 or 85.ย Here's a sample price list.ย I highly recommend the great cities of Poland in summer. Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, or Wroclaw.ย https://www.mymeditravel.com/braces-procedures-in-croatia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiP Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high.ย The Russell 2000 is still in a bear market*, down more than 20% from its high.ย That's never happened before. The only times the Russell was more than 15% off its high were a handful of days from November 1998 - April 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard not to agree but there are a lot of voices that the country was sold. Most companies are in the hand of foreign capital and that was one of the key point in last policital campaign. Example in retail shop - Lidl, Kaufland (de), Biedronka (Portugal), etc - Carrefour, Auchan, Tesco (in the past) - convenient stores ลปabka (US funds like cvc). ย Sometimes polish capital has like max 25% market share like in telecoms -Orange bought former incumbent Telekomunikacja Polska - T-Mobile Polska bought Era, now offers mostly mobile services - Play (now French Illiad) created from scratch - Plus (privatized by polish billioner) ย Capital has a nationality Just to name an example - French Illiad billionaire announced in Nov 2023 biggest AI investment in France - in Poland Illiad just keep cutting costs and doingย small csr projects ย So in short, foreign HQ got bigger, and they develop more R&D at home. In other countries you do cheap shared services. Sometimes R&D. ย So it's mix bag I know countries like India or China or UAE where they approved mostly 50/50 JV instead of full privatization like in Poland. ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
