Despite the government's best efforts, due to the previous period of unsustainable slump and massive global growth, Finland's economy has entered into state which could possibly, if you wish really hard and maybe have a beer or two, be called growth.

Sipilä has sworn to assign the best and the brightest the government has to offer to fix this economic aberration. Taskforce Berner will be deployed immediately soon next week eventually death is certain.

Apparently we are allying with Brits to bomb some brown people in the future or something? Maybe? Our defense minister isn't really sure.

It will be great that Finland will be able to join the next adventure to the middle-east, since the last one was so successful.

Hmm I think the plan is to take in all the refugees, then take part in bombing their homeland to the stone age and when they express their dissatisfaction at this the True Finns will have plenty of ammunition to point out what savages those brown folk are and we end up with PM Mestari.

A daring plan but... it could work.

Muutama havainto leipäjonoista.

1. On arvokasta että leipäjonoja on. Maailma ilman leipäjonoja olisi ankeampi. Enkä nyt tarkoita köyhyyttä joka ajaa jonoihin vaan sitä leipäjonoa epäkaupallisena vaihtoehtona saada ravintoa.

2. Sellaista julkishallinnollista systeemiä, joka ottaisi huomioon kaikki inhimillisen elämän vivahteet, ei ole. Siksi on tärkeää, että leipäjonot antavat valinnanvaraa niille, joille systeemi ei sitä tarjoa.

3. Leipäjonossa ei ole itsessään mitään hävettävää. Sitä tekee hävettäväksi se porukka, joka säälii ja voivottelee jonottajia.

4. Kauhistelemalla leipäjonoja tulee samalla luoneeksi juuri sitä ilmapiiriä, joka saattaa saada jonottajan kokemaan arvottomuutta.

5. Poliittinen jeesustelu leipäjonoista on käytännössä oman kannatuksen nostamista leipää jonottavien omanarvontunnon kustannuksella. Tuota tehdään toki vahingossa ja vilpittömin mielin, mutta väärin se silti on.

6. Leipäjonoja tulisi edistää, niiden kautta avun saaminen normalisoida sosiaalisesti ja leipäjonoja pyörittäviä vapaaehtoisia ylistää heidän konkreettisesta pyyteettömyydestä.

7. Leipäjono on ekologisesti kestävä tapa korjata kaupallisessa logistiikassa olevaa tehottomuutta. Syöty leipä on maapallolle arvokkaampi kuin pois heitetty leipä, olkoon tuo leipä hankittu ostamalla tai jonottamalla.

8. Yksi mutkaton tapa tehdä hyvää on pysähtyä leipäjonoon ja kätellä siellä jonottavia sekä rohkeudesta murtaa teollisen ajan päiväysvanhoja mielikuvia että konkreettisesta maapallon pelastamisesta.

9. Leipäjono ei ole kirosana tai merkki yhteisön epäonnistumisesta. Leipäjono on toimiva sosiaalinen innovaatio ja merkki yhteisöllisestä empatiasta.

I don't know, maybe that kind of thinking is the necessary first step for wider societal acceptance of living on government assistance, we can't expect there to be enough busywork for everyone in the AI-automated future.

There are good things about protestant work ethic like stigmatizing greed and corruption, next we'll just need to accept idleness without losing the first two stigmas.

Mikael Jungner seems to have made a habit out of making himself look like an idiot on social media.

Since my social media bubble has a large number of linguists and other pullamössöhumanistit like myself I got to witness firsthand one of his more recent social media meltdowns, where he'd written a big effortpost about how we should modernize Finnish grammar because having to learn all these declinations is, like, hard man, and also that having all these declinations and grammar in your head makes learning English an insurmountable burden for Finns. There was also a large degree of Sapir Worf to his post where he basically said that "Finns have a hard time understanding concepts like Brexit and globalization because they're loanwords, man." When a bunch of linguists pointed out to him that his entire post was really dumb and that he clearly didn't know anything about what language learning and cognitive linguistics he blocked them on social media, supposedly for their tone (and, you know, there were some people who literally called him an idiot) but probably because they disagreed with him (I saw a couple of the offending posts, which were written in the most inoffensive "Dear Mikael, I don't think any of this is true, yours truly, a linguist" tone).

The best thing is that he played the puppet master defence afterwards, saying that his intention had been simply to spark discussion about language policy in Finland, and having succeeded at that he declared himself the winner.

Also lol this is literally a person whose description on Twitter simply has the words "Viestintä. Digitalisaatio. Startup." so of course he's 100% in neo-liberal self-deceit.

Mikael Jungner is the closest example we have of a Red Tory in Finnish politics: he wears the skin of an SDP member when he'd actually be more at home in Kock.

According to what I've heard, Jungner was raised completely freely i.e. whatever dumb bullshit he did, his parents would join in and do it with him. Like a parody version of vapaa kasvatus.

So the confusing double-citizenship in the army debacle continues when it was revealed that the army considers even kitchen personnel as a sensitive post. I guess Putin is after the recipe for Jarru.

Defence minister is calling YLE report as fake news at worst, saying that recently two double-citizens were promoted as officers lately. When they asked what nationality were they, Jussi Niinistö just said that it's not important. :v:

Anyway, they're currently drafting a bill that forbids double-citizenship owning from taking certain posts. How will that mesh with the equal treatment clause, we won't know until later on.
