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?
When was that??
During period of Kekkonen but I don't remember exact year and as that's 25 years I need to check it
In end of may 1974
I was born in the 1990’s
Can’t remember the 1970’s 😄
Well I was born in 1998 but I've been reading
What a legend
He was really good speaker, the "people know/kyllä kansa tietää" kind, he started Finland small holders party (suomen pienviljelijäin puolue) after he got used about centrist party. That then changed into "Finlands countryside party/suomen maaseudun puolue (SMP) which then changed to be our known finns party
He indeed was a legend
I think I'll translate that thing if I can be arsed
In the public has also been recently mentioned of huge criminal currency shamming (only translation for keinottelu was speculation and that is not nearly negative enough) that has been involved supricing organizations/individuals, wouldn't it be already taken enough time to get order to even this situation. Why with monopoly rights having especially well managing Alkoholi liike (alcohol store, modern day alko) and Neste Oy (oil company) give to governments funds thousands of millions old markka (we have changed value of markka once or twice) less than especially alkoholi liike's current law especially should pay. Tax payers taxes surely are increased but this kind of state owned huge corporations are rolling in other folks money.
Wrong doers unfit to their tasks:
We have this opinion that if someone has been guilty of misusing his position during public services he should continuing from that unfit to such positions.
In last years we have unfortunately done vice versa. Some responsibility should be given to MPs election promises. Even normal people answer to their dishonesty in front of criminal laws. (laugh in background) but you don't want to answer (laugh continues), despite of that it feels like... Well ofcourse it's easy to laugh when you don't have responsibilities, yes....despite of that it feels like that those holding power in our country want to guarantee themselves days of sweet bread but offer to Finnish people, in the manner of Johannes Virolainen, sweat and blood. From Tšar Russia originating humility and praising of leading people seems also be in style.
Who will be most harmed of this current shortage policies? The government speaks about burdening those who can pay. But the experience in reality knows that those that suffer mostly from shortage are normal people caused by unemployment, layoffs, forced sellings, bankruptcy of small enterprises and lowered pays. Import regulation also puts material goods under the counter. For this all we have already serious, even in public and today's conversations mentioned even tho we're are just in start of the horse medication.
And cause discord bugged out I'll not gonna continue from this for now
By “shortage” do you mean “alijäämä”? The corresponding word for that would be “budget deficit” @Finno
Aww shit
Also what’s “horse medication”? “Konitohtori” or “käärmeöljy” ?
“Lehmänkaupat” is “horse trading”
Ah true, just didn't remember the English comparison and was worried that discord will delete the message a while I'm looking for correct translation (which it later did)
Yeah translation of idioms is always very difficult because you have to find a corresponding one
