Max von Kreyfelt wrote in a column that Dutch bureaucracy, according to him, was slowing down the work of people who create things and maintained a large system of assessors, advisors, and task forces. He suggested that housing construction and entrepreneurship were facing more and more procedures, while shortages of skilled workers were being addressed with new task forces. He also wrote that citizens had to first demonstrate that they could survive financially before they were allowed to start a business, and that construction plans had to go through participation and policy procedures. He argued that people with the right contacts could navigate the system more easily and that mistakes made by officials were treated differently than those made by citizens. Those who asked questions were told, according to him, that trust in institutions needed to be restored, with a campaign funded by taxpayers. Von Kreyfelt referred to a warning from Ayn Rand and wrote that, in his view, the Netherlands was enabling fewer people to create things while more and more people were explaining why decisions were made carefully. He also mentioned that his collection was for sale and asked readers to support him. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #Nederland #overheid #ondernemen (translated)
