A working harbour or a luxury waterfront?
Two AI-created illustrations of Dalmor, the former fishing harbour in Gdynia, Poland: a vision of ships and skilled maritime jobs versus today’s luxury apartments and yachts.
Have we confused the appearance of prosperity with the means of creating it?
4/5
Gdynia was built around a port and the people who worked there.
A thriving maritime economy also creates customers for restaurants, apartments and marinas: people who work, earn and live locally all year.
Are we replacing an engine of prosperity with the things prosperity buys?
5/5
Rebuilding Poland’s fleet takes more than tax incentives and flag-registration reform.
It needs a coherent maritime strategy, accountable leadership and maritime professionals involved in decisions.
My article explores why. Full text in Polish; link below.

On this waterfront, maritime policy can retire: let the developer take over, then city hall.
“Ten cleaners and two marina attendants” will do. A joke, not a headcount—but it captures the gulf between a working port and a prestigious address.
3/5
A modern working harbour could support hundreds of seafarers, dockworkers, mechanics, electricians and suppliers.
This is not a call to recreate the old fishing fleet. It is a question: where is the strategy for new maritime businesses before we surrender the space they need?
Our taxpayer dollars have funded this white supremacist trillionaire who is using his winnings—some half a billion dollars—to try and shove Republican candidates down our throats and avoid investigation and prosecution.

Here we go: the Trump administration is suing to block Alaska Senate race certification if the Republican loses, citing candidate name confusion, AP reports.
Grupa katolickich biskupów modliła się nad prezydentem Trumpem w Gabinecie Owalnym w czwartek, 12 dni przed wyborami uzupełniającymi. Kościół zawsze po stronie faszystowskich przestępców przez całe XX stulecie, a w 2026 roku dalej tak samo, wspierają przestępców i pedofilów jak Trump.
Both of them are laughing in the face of the world—one because he’s a complete moron, the other because he’s a total cynic. They are both standing on the edge, ready to set the world on fire. Not enough of a reason? Then I’ll add: because they can.
There is no finesse or hidden agenda here. It is the crude behavior of two usurpers trying to save each other from disaster. One faces the loss of power, and essentially, so does the other. And how? By terrorizing the world.
When a leader drifting toward autocracy faces the loss of power, he abandons democratic pretenses. He shifts from relying on public legitimacy to employing the machinery of coercion, fear, and polarization. He is prepared to resort to extreme measures—such as instigating a global conflict.
Rosie O’Donnell on Trump: “If you grew up in New York you knew he was a moron from day one. A liar, a grifter, a cheat, a conman. You just knew. I just hope November 3rd that Elon Musk who’s suddenly back in the fold, I wonder why? He put up new satellites, I wonder why? I’m just praying every day
Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
How does totalitarianism turn the oppressed into perpetrators?
Ukraine’s 20th-century tragedy is also a story of how Stalinism and Nazism infected political movements with their methods — and how that history is weaponized by the Kremlin today.
My analysis:
Szwecja ma rudę i technologie. Polska porty, stocznie i buduje nową energetykę. Czy po promowym moście przez Bałtyk czas zbudować przemysłowy? Bałtycki Most Surowcowy: wspólne projekty, produkcja i eksport. Najpierw portfel zamówień, potem huta. Polska jako współwłaściciel, projektant i eksporter
Hassett: "China has stopped buying US soybeans. The silos are full and there are soybeans sitting on the ground w/tarps over them. That's unacceptable to POTUS. We're calling up our soybean customers around the world as part of our trade negotiations & we'll strong policies to support our farmers"
You should carefully consider what processes to initiate in order to punish him, his family, and all his accomplices, and to strip them of the assets they illegally acquired.
❗️I’m ready for war with Russia. I have rice supplies, there’s a hand pump at home, and I’ve also made fruit jam, — Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski.
Mark Carney: “I would now like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.”
RFK Jr. received "more than $250,000 worth of free flights to Fiji and Greece as well as use of a vacation home in Washington, D.C. from Gavin de Becker..."
de Becker has been described as Jeff Bezo's "top security staffer"
