A team led by Rafał Brzoska, one of Poland’s richest people, and tasked by Prime Minister Donald Tusk with advising the government on how to cut bureaucracy, has submitted its first 111 proposals.

Among the suggestions – which Brzoska and Tusk want to begin implementing within 100 days – are reducing hurdles for people to obtain disability support, making it easier for businesses to collect debts, and eliminating requests from state offices for information that is already publicly available.

    Currently, someone with, for example, Down syndrome who is unable to work and function normally must regularly prove that their condition has not changed in order to continue being classified as disabled.

    Brzoska scores free points but this change affects only rare diseases which is a very precise criteria (one in couple of thousands). That’s an incredibly high threshold and it was implemented couple of days ago already. Have some debilitating autoimmune disease with no cure? Not rare - 0.5% population affected. Good luck, see you at disability board in 2 years. Welfare? Hahaha. Medicine refunded? Another good joke. Work till you kill yourself or get so bad you get rent that’s 1/3 of minimum wage. I also pay health insurance that’s multiple times of what I would pay if I pretended to be a business.

    Gee, I wonder what other 100 ideas are about because media don’t go into any details as if they were staffed by elites kids. Fascism on the rise is because of misinformation obviously.
