Poles wait years for surgery — one woman's appointment is set for 2029

A 40-year-old woman from Kraków received a surgical appointment for October 2029 — one of thousands of similar cases in Poland's public health system. A Watch Health Care report combined with interviews with patients, the NFZ and the Health Ministry shows that waiting lists continue to grow, leaving patients losing their senses or mobility before receiving care. The ministry has outlined plans to cut queues, but concrete systemic solutions have yet to be implemented.

Should the government impose maximum waiting-time limits for NHS procedures?

Facebook suspends Polish NGO's page over photos of wounded Gaza children

Facebook suspended the page of a Polish NGO — the Centre for Monitoring Racist and Xenophobic Behaviour — classifying photos of wounded children from the Gaza Strip as "sexual exploitation." The news was broken by "Rzeczpospolita." The suspension was unrelated to the foundation's monitoring of right-wing politicians; Meta's systems flagged the war-documentation images instead.

Was Facebook right to suspend the NGO's page over these photos?

Convert your bike to an e-bike for a fraction of the cost of buying one

With gas prices hovering above $4 a gallon in the US, converting a regular bicycle into an e-bike is a cost-effective commuting alternative. Conversion kits cost far less than buying a new e-bike outright. The approach suits riders looking to cut daily transport costs without a major investment.

Is converting a regular bike to an e-bike a better option than buying a new one?

Stillwater, Minnesota has a park full of giant teddy bear statues

Stillwater, Minnesota — nicknamed the "Birthplace of Minnesota" — is home to a park featuring over half a dozen teddy bear statues ranging from two to over ten feet tall, among the only teddy bears in the world larger than their real animal counterparts. The five-million-dollar park was originally given to the city as an anonymous gift in the mid-2000s. The donors were later revealed to be former Dell executive Tom Armstrong and his wife, who also contributed millions to other local parks.

The European Commission proposed its first major revision to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) in years. The energy and industrial sectors acknowledge Brussels has moved in the right direction, but say the changes are too modest to meaningfully lower energy prices or boost the competitiveness of the European economy.

Is the proposed ETS reform enough to improve the competitiveness of the European economy?
