That's really cool, but COBOL on wheelchair sounds kinda offensive, seems risky for a politician.
2. Current government openly admitted to spying on the opposition and introduced an anti-abortion law that already killed a couple women, as hospitals decide to play it safe and wait until the fetus dies. And they dismantled the separation of powers. And probably already stole hundreds of millions of dollars, with independent investigations confirming at least tens. Our politics are so messed up that absolutely no one will bat an eye at a 7 years old non-PC joke.
When I was a child in the United States, Lech Wałęsa regularly celebrated as a hero by helping to lead Poland into democracy as head of the trade union Solidarity/Solidarność. I always felt he was "Une Hacker Originale" by forming a worker's union in a (nominally) Communist state! It was like they back-doored a democratic institution into a unfree state. Amazing stuff to read about.
nah he was just a puppet/poster boy for a good story. The real reason why communism fail in Poland were:
- coup d'etat by deep state. General Kiszczak did an excellent job. System has changed without a bloody revolution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czes%C5%82aw_Kiszczak - communism was inefficient. Trading barier made it worse. As a result Soviet Union was weak and didn't have enough influence to keep the system stable. - Kissinger managed to convince China to counter Soviet Union. In 1969 they had to throw and enormous resources at the border.

I don't happen to think the "wheelchair" is offensive here, you can tell yourself it's ageist and ableist if you need to, but the punchline is clearly at COBOL's expense.
