Shame that IPU is so small

Where nation states are sacrificed on the altar of neoliberal economic desires

They coerced us to pay greece’s debts

I mean if you don't support it you'll vote till you do

^

Or get into it despite voting against like us into euro in 1996 if I remember correctly

@Deleted User send help and guns

Sorry 1998

Finland said no to Euro?

I can’t recall that as i was quite young

Yeah, euro as money, not euro as EU

Folk wanted to keep markka, it was like 52 against but Lipponen and Niinistö Got It through despite it https://youtu.be/TSngJmYPBCE

It was advisory sure but still

Well done

We’ll become poor debt slaves

In the 2040’s you are going to need a credit card to buy a granola bar

The keynesian dream

Honestly the system is a casino which crashes every 10 years or so

Hmh, can't find the emu vote thing anywhere

And each bailout requires more and more debt and the recovery is meager and meager

2% gdp is now “good”

2005 that was 5%

Found this tho, map of voting to join into eu from 1994

Before the 1990’s recession even more, our structural unemployment was 3% in the 1980’s and now it’s 8-9% and only going up

But at least we have smartphones and pumpkin lattes

The big thing to not join into eu was cause we now can't devaluate our money artificially like we used to with markka which was sometimes used (according to some but not by others) quite well in compact against depression

The arguments for future economic prospects are insane. Like vr glasses and petri dish meat will replace heavy industries

I mean didn't Kekkonen start emergency council when something like 50k was unemployed?

Economic clusters form around industry not services. Services complement industry but don’t build it

@Finno kekkonen aka president for life

Chosen once without elections

Dissolved the parliament because national coalition got too good of a result

Greens:" let's ban cars and lumber industry"
Fuck, I'm going into Häme to study as metsätalousinsinööri so greens thinking Finland would survive without logging makes me twice as furious.

Note crisis

I like the guy but he was a bit too finlandizationed

He’s the epitome of Finlandization. Not necessarily the wrong choice but we could be more open about it

I understand why it was done but not the radio silence

Just tell who went regularly to tehtaankatu and I’ll leave you alone

I want closure

Nothing more

Remember the incident when they carried the father of what is now finns party our of the room in his chair?
