well yes they are not under state.. if their tax or other stuff fails they dont get single penny
so they really do have incentive to spend it to good
and not just on their own "salaries"
its under pretty big microscope
some organizations have denied the money
just cause how much work it causes for them
and rays money are nothing like "tax" money
they take their salaries,equipment cost,necesary running costs
and rest goes to charity like that
and every single organization can get it if they aply for it
sure it would be fun to watch if state just whipped couple billion euros and shared them to org
and did the "out of thin air" money magic every time
well sure, you might have convinced me that the money goes to "good use", but I still dont get why they need to be private charities, instead of state and municipalities. We have welfare state where the state provides housing, welfare, medical help and social work, would it not simply be more efficient to do everything under the welfare state, instead of splitting it to smaller charities?
world just does not sadly work like that
Alko, which is another monopoly, returns all profit to the state
Ray could simply do the same
im not so sure about this but giving some power to "RAY" to choose private org
might be "legal loophole" for state to support those groups
as state cant directly support private organization by default here
(i might be wrong on that one i need to check it)
if you want boring night read https://cms.veikkaus.fi/site/binaries/content/assets/dokumentit/vuosikertomus/ray/ray_vastuu_vuosiraportti_2016.pdf theres the yearly report (it actualy was quite hidden)
its long read so yeah
32th page startes the interesting stuff
also doing everything undert welfare state is quite bad thing
moneywise at least
small organizations dont require nearly as much money as "trained professionals at offices"
and equality wise more organizations = more people to decide how the money is to be spent == less chance for corruption ?
well lesser € ammount goes to corruption .. technicaly more chance for corruption if left unchecked
but yeah i understand very well what you mean
and it would be "optimal world"
Money just does not work that way sadly in real world :/
nor does society as whole
there is always some jealous fucker ruining things
RAY is no means most effective way to share the money in perfect world
its just best suitable for now for finland kind of deal haha
well you convinced me to have a more lenient view on RAY, tomorrow im going to the nearest pelaamo and will gamble away all my property
hahahaha moderation in everything
but yeah id wish we could group all current organization as single large entity under goverment
who would need to pass IQ-test and have logic-based brains and not emotional bullshitters
so the money would actualy go where its needed and some proper professionals who are masters of moneyhandling would actualy help
