HP to cut 25-30k jobs

Is this a joke? Poland has a larger population than chile, better per capita GDP, and is a power house in the middle of Europe. They do still have some internal problems but this is nothing compared to the (low key) international conflicts Chile still is involved in.

I love both countries though.

GDP per capita is higher in Chile and has 2-3x the growth Poland has.

Why would you think that's a joke? GDP is only one metric, you know. And Poland's GDP Growth Rate is 1.67% to Chile's 4.07%. Chile also has a lower unemployment rate, and ranks higher than Poland on economic freedom.

And how is GDP growth more relevant than GDP itself? And what about humongous, growing income inequality? Chile doesn't really rank that well, does it? 140th out of 159 ranked countries http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=gini+index+chile

So why are there so many Polish immigrants and so few Chilean ones?
