Lol no poo poo, what other reason is there to stay in the party anymore now that they've sold out on everything else besides blatant racism and xenophobia?

Party affiliation is LITERALLY nothing to do with reason. (Yes there's research into this.) Sunken cost fallacy is also a big thing when it comes to voting.

Yeah but it's not like too much of the jytky-crowd were long-time Persu voters. Hell there have been a few defections by MP's. Basically everyone whose brain got broken by 2015 has migrated there and is slowly pushing relative sanity out for good (not that there was a huge amount to begin with)

Not even then. Voting right-wing will eventually lead to class war and it isn't reasonable (even financially) for a rich person to want that.

Have you actually met rich people? Most of them that I've met are BORING as hell and live in huge denial about many things. Probably none of them have done psychedelics because cowardice and fear of losing status goes with it all.

Oikeastaan tuossa ei paljon muutu, nytkin firmoilla on työttömiä "työkokeilijoina" ilmaiseksi. Samaan aikaan työkkäri voi lätkäistä työttömälle karenssia jos hän osallistuu vapaaehtoistyöhön jossakin voittoa tavoittelemattomassa yleishyödyllisessä yhdistyksessä. :finland:

The left is absolutely complicit in this "kustannusneutraali aktiivinen työvoimapolitiikka" farce. I could not take with a straight face SDP throwing a tantrum about this while kuntouttava työtoiminta on the sole basis of being long term unemployed is fine and well.

Speaking of työvoimapolitiikka, I stumbled on this guy called Ari Ojapelto who apparently has had a hard-on for collecting Finnish econometric stats since the 80's, wrote books about it, and claims that total working hours in the economy haven't risen since the late 70's and are still lower than before the 90's recession. Which would mean that all the jobs and job losses in the timeframe have just reshuffled the same work between different amounts of people. Trigger warning about Kansan Uutiset, but his KU blog is more conscise than his personal one. http://blogit.kansanuutiset.fi/maailmanparantajan-madonluvut/missa-on-taloustoimittajien-ammattitaito

His other hobby is verbally eviscerating economists for ignoring the decades' worth of data that they themselves have produced and are unable to explain.

The typos, grammatical mistakes, willfully dense interpretations of GNP and "total working hours" don't exactly make me trust this random blogger.

Thats all fine and good, but to restore my honor I will point out that his actual data is from regular public sources. Like you can restore the working hours data here at Tilastokeskus: http://pxnet2.stat.fi/PXWeb/pxweb/fi/StatFin/StatFin__kan__vtp/080_vtp_tau_081.px I got a graph that looks basically the exact same: http://imgur.com/4UOAviL

I could have articulated better that my point in showing his stuff wasn't his opinions about how to preserve jobs (hes obviously not an expert on that), it was to highlight that if aggregate working hours don't change, employment and unemployment figures become a sort of newspeak, where you'd think from the word that more employment means more wellbeing, but really some people have just given part of their working hours (and consequently wage) to a bunch of other people. And that we have been bullying the unemployed for 20 years now just to, in the best case scenario, split jobs rather than create them.

As a side note: If someone notices the World GDP chart not looking like the IMF data the data's original author uses as its source, I'm aware of that. The author claims the difference is running a purchasing power parity adjustment using a set of currency exchange rates to do it. So the label is wrong, it's not "World GDP" but some experimental "World purchasing power" chart. Measuring purchasing power from GDP is iffy, as we know from the old "public spending is nearly 60% of GDP" debacle where actual aggregate spending totaled to well over 200% of GDP. The chart may correlate with the movements of actual purchasing power, but without more peer review you'd be right not to just believe. But it fits with my preconceived notion that an increasingly huge portion of GDP growth has been from the FIRE sector, whose growth, instead of producing anything, inflates prices.

Voihan sitä soitella hätänumeroon, mutta ei se nykyään auta. Ellei halua olla tuntia odottelemassa. Paljon tehokkaampaa on toivottaa kuulapää matkoihinsa.

It's strange how you care about the letter of the law only when the offender is brown or foreigner. White right-wingers committing crimes, say death threats or violence or harrassment, somehow always deserve absolution, and no authorities need to be involved, that's pretty strange. Can you explain the reasoning behind this particular mode of thought?
