In happier news, the Bernergate keeps happening :allears:

quote:

Matkustajaliikenteen kilpailuttamismalli saa kyseenalaistavan vastaanoton arvostetun kansainvälisen Boston Consulting -yhtiön raportissa.

Liikenneministeriö on esittänyt, että matkustajaliikenne avataan kilpailulle vaiheittain ja VR pilkotaan useiksi yhtiöksi. Hallitus on hyväksynyt suunnitelman.

Bostonin selvityksessä on laskettu, että kilpailun avaaminen ministeriön esittämin keinoin toisi kymmenien miljoonien lisäkustannukset. Se tarkoittaisi tuleville radoilla operoiville yhtiöille 10 prosentin lisäkustannuksia. Tämä olisi vaarassa siirtyä lippujen hintoihin.

[...]

Selvitys ei ota kantaa siihen, olisiko kilpailun avaaminen suositeltavaa. Lähtökohtana on ajatus, että poliittisella päätöksellä radat avataan kilpailulle ja VR pilkotaan.

Raportti on ministeriön esityksen kannalta monin osin kriittinen, eikä sen perusteella liikenneministeriön esitys liikenteen avaamisesta vielä tuottaisi Bernerin toivomia hyötyjä.

[...]

Kilpailuttaminen esitetyllä mallilla todennäköisesti tulisi kalliiksi. Rakenteelliset kustannukset kasvaisivat 30 – 45 miljoonaa euroa, kun matkustaja- ja tavaraliikenteen kalustoa ei voisi enää hyödyntää joustavasti, radoilla toimivien yhtiöiden yhteenlasketut kustannukset kasvaisivat ja voittotavoite kasvaisi.

Hallinnon kustannukset ja valtiontuen tarve kannattamattomille reiteille kasvaisivat 20 – 30 miljoonaa.

[...]

Jotta junalippujen hinnat eivät nousisi noin kymmenellä prosentilla kilpailutuksen tuomien kustannusten takia, konsulttiyhtiö on laskeskellut säästökuuria. Matkustajamäärän lisääminen vaatisi 10 prosentin hinnanalennuksen nykyisestä. Kattaaksen lipun hintojen laskun raiteilla toimivien operaattorien pitäisi pystyä alentamaan kustannuksia kymmenillä miljoonilla euroilla.

Konsulttiyhtiö pitää säästöjä vaikeina toteuttaa, koska säästöjä on jo tehty ja konsulttiselvityksen mukaan niitä on myös suunnitteilla.

I understand your sentiment, maybe you don't live in Helsinki and think this cannot be real, but this was... actually, like, a real situation.

These guys who look like Skrillex had never thought about "what am I going to do if someone just beats me up and steals my phone and there is nobody to go to. No police. No nothing.". They had never figured out their existence is partly made possible by the police.

No, snowflakes, it doesn't go like that.

Yes, but cops being under democratic oversight is equally important. Look at the US, cops murder people all the time and don't get convicted of anything. There's a lot of whining around but we have it pretty good here compared to most places.

Minusta on surullista, että aikuiset (todennäköisesti, ei voi olla varma) ihmiset kuvittelevat, että olisipa elämä yhtä pullaa jos vaan ei olisi niitä poliseja ja virkavaltaa. Jos niillä on vielä konepistooli niin sitten on kaikki pilalla! Ketjun rexroomit ja kemperit taitavat olla nimittäin mielipiteineen ihan tosissaan.

Antifan naamasuojatut pällit saisivat rauhassa heitelle pulloja 612-marssin mummeleiden päähän, sitten olisi yhteiskunnan vikatilat korjattu. Ei vittu taida ihan oikeasti mennä niin.

Mitä väkivaltafantasioihin tulee niin en ole toivonut tällä palstalla kenenkään kuolemaa syöpään tai perheeni kuolemaa tulipaloon yms mitä eri vasemmistoilaiset ovat minulle täällä toivoneet suvaitsevaisuuspäissään, ja se on ihan vitun sama mitä joku Cerebral Bore ajattelee miltä vaikutan koska kyseinen likasanko on kuitenkin sitä mieltä, että olen hitlernatsi.

They are trained to shoot to kill, and shoot people to death pretty often, and don't get convicted for doing so even when the suspect was unarmed and running away, or laying down with his hands on his head. Finnish police didn't even kill the knife-man in Turku.

Guns kill people even if you don't aim for center of mass, as explained to me by a Finnish policeman i knew. If you look at the videos where american cops kill people, you'll notice that one huge difference is that those cops keep pointing their gun at people until they die in a puddle of their own blood, whereas Finnish cops are trained to administer first aid and call for an ambulance right away after shooting someone and confirming they aren't dangerous anymore. I assume that because guns are used so rarely, there's an actual capacity to make sure that protocol is followed when people get shot, and individual fear or laziness doesn't lead to unnecessary gunshot deaths in the same way.

EDIT: I left it unclear, but IIRC he said that finnish cops in fact are trained to aim for center of mass, because guns are only used when there's an actively dangerous person there, priority one against those people is to stop them, and what is done after shooting someone tends to be more important for preserving their life than where they were shot.

Pretty ironic given that I actually posted a link (from YLE/yle/Yle) which discusses the differences between the reports (BCG and Spring Advisor vs Ramboll) and concludes that the only one that even tried to measure benefits to society instead of just the cost to VR was Ramboll. As well as the fact that the Ramboll one took much longer to make and wasn't just put together in 2 weeks. That was ignored, and then the BCG report was posted so you guys could pat yourselves on the back for being so right again.

Meanwhile you keep jizzing your pants over whatever latest report estimates the costs of privatization to the state owned monopoly. What a surprise, opening up railways to competition will hurt the profits of the incumbent, I guess this means privatization is bad! It's similar to you ignoring the mountains of economic evidence on the benefits of privatization and instead repeating "therr is only 1 track!!!!!"
