Either those election candidate search engines are biased or they were made by Tieto.

They actually have a good reason for this. It first matches you with a party and then with the most compatible candidate of that party. Kasvi has feminist opinions but the greens don't, so choosing like him gets you the feminists.

Hoi Fingoons. Help me solve a perkele of a curiosity.

I have a Finish co-worker. His father was wounded in WW2 (not sure if Winter war or Barbarossa) Anyway he got a state pension for wounded vets. A very good pension at that. Even though he wasn't disabled or anything. He then had a job for the government, to travel around Finland and perform various jobs and report to the state on how the workers were treated. A sort of labour rights thing. He collected full wages on top of his pension for doing this sort of work.

He had a house back home but the government paid for an apartment wherever he worked and he travelled all over Finland doing all kinds of labour jobs and reporting to the government.

I'm wondering if this was just a very oversimplified excuse that he told his son (my co-worker) when he was a child and if the reality of his work was more complex (looking for Communist influence?)

Does this vaguely match any sort of thing that the Finish government was up post WW2?

No.

e: Hiring a traveling man to narc on labour would be the worst way to go about it anyway.

ee: Very quick Internet research suggests 100% of Communist surveillance in labour was done by bribing insiders, not infiltration - which would've been very hard anyway as I said. Infiltration was only used in the youth movement.

Okay truth be told me did say that sometimes they would have Russians visit them at their house in Karelia and there would be a lot of drinking.

But that it was a local business/diplomatic thing.

The government did, no joke, have dudes assigned to go drinking with the Soviets when needed, but it usually wasn't done in some random home in Karelia.

Sipilä sai sitten myös tunnin juna -hankkeet ryssittyä

quote:

Tampereen ja Turun tunnin junien ylle kasautuu tummia pilviä. Hallituksen eron vuoksi ratoja kehittäviä hankeyhtiöitä ei voida perustaa tällä vaalikaudella.


– Tämä on tosi yllättävä tieto ja vähän outokin, Lyly sanoo.

Lylyn mukaan Tampere oli saanut ministeriöstä tiedon, että hankeyhtiöt voidaan yhä perustaa tällä vaalikaudella, koska poliittiset päätökset on tehty ja jäljellä oli vain toteutusvaihe. Suomi-rata-yhtiö oli tarkoitus perustaa jo huhtikuussa.

– Tämä on Tampereen tunnin junalle iso kolaus, koska tämä siirtää näitä hankkeita kuukausia eteenpäin, Lyly sanoo.

Suomi tarvitsee juuri tuollaista tasapainoista neroa joka kuuntelee ennemmin sisäistä ääntään kuin pitäytyy sovituissa aikatauluissa.

Hello fingoons. Some Fox News reading idiots on my FB seem to think that Finland's government is collapsing under the weight of providing modern healthcare and that's why the US must continue have people go bankrupt because they got sick.

I know that's not true but it's also not a story I can find a lot of info on, can someone point me in the right direction? I realize you have no requirement to educate me so you can also tell me to go gently caress off in Finnish but if you want to help that's appreciated.

Tell them that the gov collapsed under the weight of trying to privatise healthcare and funnel money to hicklandia at the same time

Basically we have a pretty good and very efficient, yet underfunded system. What our government wanted to do was to expedite the privatisation efforts, yet unfortunately for them, they ran into various issues with our constitution (or the folks determining the constitution compatibility were politically opposed to the bill). Then they ran out of time, and two months before the next election, the prime minister calls it quits (after having already promised TWICE earlier on to resign due to other shenanigans concerning this very same bill) This is just a bunch of election tactics. The way the ex-government (or at least the ex-prime minister) puts it is that they're "being responsible" for not having fulfilled their promises.

Something similar will probably happen again with the next government.

The prevailing notion in Finland is that the current municipally-run system of social and health care is too expensive in light of an aging population. A new model must be introduced to consolidate services and make them more cost-efficient, the thinking goes.

Haha yeah considering that the setup already is extremely efficient on any scale I've seen, this is going to mean that the poor and the elderly won't get as good treatment in the future as they do now. I can't see any other way to put it. That's globalisation for you. The richer we get, the less we can afford as a society.

E: To clarify. Globalisation combined with almost uncontrolled capitalism. Of course there could be other kinds of globalisation as well but we don't know of those (yet???).

They weren't allowed to kill the poor by denying them healthcare by giving control over it to the free market, so they ragequit.

What failed wasn't the healthcare system, it's working fine and is remarkably efficient, the government collapsed because they tried to privatize it and figured out that "privatize it" and "ensure all citizens have equal access to healthcare" don't mix. Which is a problem, because the government wanted the first thing, and the constitution mandates the second thing.

For extra context there's been a rolling scandal for the last couple of months now about private vanhainkodit (group homes for the old folks) being utter shits. Understaffing, covering up said understaffing with forged records ("ghost nurses"), chronic overwork of the nurses who actually are there, unqualified people working as nurses, etc. Leading to mistreatment of people, including some possible deaths.

Which didn't help popularise the effort to privatise the healthcare part of our care system.

e: well, said scandal actually making headlines and sticking there. individual summits of the iceberg had been popping up every now and then over the years

Elder care is the only thing about growing old that horrifies me.

A friends mother was in elder care home and the staff filled in charts whenever they visited a "patient" which were later summarized. My friend got a bit suspicious about her mother being mistreated so she demanded the logs (she has the right)

Turns out that when staff are lazy busy they will write down something like "sleeping so sweetly. Didn't want to disturb" as an excuse to skip the room. Except going through the logs would reveal these "sleeping" notations one after another until there were often 20 hour windows of just sleeping notes.

It's probably covered by insurance anyway. Unlike the income of the employee after they have to be in recovery for months from taking a knife in the liver on the job.
