What are you smoking? Current Polish Prime Minister was a member of Fighting Solidarity (Polish anti-communist underground organization founded by his father) and Independent Students’ Association. He was beaten several times by the communist militia when he was a teenager. He's probably the most anti-communist PM in modern Poland.

Comment It's not only about recently written data (Score 1) 521

More sophisticated SSDs perform static wear leveling (moving old data to different locations on the disk) in the background. To improve performance, firmware on some disks does this without ensuring atomicity of each operation. It means that in case of unexpected power loss you could end up with seriously broken filesystem. Cheap pendrives are probably not affected by this, but you should be careful when connecting e.g. external SSD via USB.
