Thank you for the help. I knew the guy was full of poo poo, because LOL Finland's per capita spend on UHC is a fraction of what the US spends to NOT cover everyone and you have better metrics than us on almost everything.

In general, good healthcare and social services pay themselves back through taxation ( and lowered support costs) in Finland. For example, educated and employed 25-year old will be a net benefit of up to 800 000 euros for the state, if the same 25-year old would never get a secondary education.

Not only it is morally right to support people, it is also economically reasonable.

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???).

Yeah I remember thinking as I was younger, how come if we're all getting richer, we seem to have less and less every year? Stores are closing, post offices are closing, banks are closing, we have to cut spending here and we have to save on this and this etc etc et... the richer we get the less we seem to be able to afford.

It doesn't surprise me that Christian Democrats and party leader Sari Essayah have announced that the trans law is so important that it is one of the core issues when forming a government with them. As in, not wanting the law to be a bit lenient towards trans people. They really do seem to dislike sexual minorities.

Juha Sipilä knows his audience. He's not willing to stop the use of peat as a source of energy "not before we stop using fossil fuels" - which is odd, considering peat is a fossil fuel. But no worries, he's promising to ease the minds of youths by putting them to plant new trees this summer. Probably in places where the timber industry cut down forests.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

10 000 000 tree plantings

10 minutes per tree planting on average

works out to roughly 1000 manhours (assuming 1600 p.a.)

So you'd need 10 000 people working full-time for over a month;

100 000 people working for 16 hours in the summer (something like 3-5 working days for young people, realistically)

I don't have time to look up how many 15-17 year olds we have but that's on the face of it a huge chunk of that group (and many of them have other things they need to do, or physically can't spend 16 hours in a forest planting trees)

I wonder if Prime Minister Smart Businessman/Engineer ever did the math.

Looks like Rinne decided to skip a few steps in the soc dem evolution to third way neoliberal cum towels and go for full borehole thatcherism:

quote:

Rinne esimerkiksi pitää mahdollisena, että myös maidolle voitaisiin asettaa korkeampi arvonlisävero.

– Tällä hetkellä suomalaisten päästöistä lihantuotanto ja maidontuotanto, mutta erityisesti lihantuotanto eli maatalouden päästöt, ovat liikenteen kanssa yhtä suuret.

Rinne sanoo itse olevansa valmis maksamaan kovempaa veroa tuotteista, jotka voi luokitella ilmastolle ja ympäristölle haitallisiksi.

– Olen itse lihansyöjä edelleenkin ja olen sen valmis maksamaan, koska mielestäni oleellista on se, että saamme tämän maapallon säilytettyä tuleville sukupolville.

Looks like SDP still believes in taxes as a way to control crowd behavior. Which is fine, governments do that all the time, just curious to see a party like SDP planning to execute green agenda. However, Finns are eating more and more meat, and red meat especially isn't good for your health, so from a healthcare perspective this is an expected move. Probably an unpopular one, but so was tobacco tax.

And as for increasing the cost of milk: Thatcher removed free milk from schools as education secretary as a way to cut costs for a pitiful 4 million pounds, so I can't really see how you can compare the two. Also real men don't drink milk.

Milk is a good source of calcium and vitamins and helps round out the diet. Especially for kids in poor families who may have a very one sided diet at home :shrug:

We just had Yleisradio explain to us this week that candy taxes didn't work because people gonna want candy with Sohvaperunat, whereas soda taxes worked because you can buy sugar-free Xtra limppari to go with your candy. (Although admittedly this doesn't explain why alcohol-free beer doesn't seem to fill this role wrt booze taxation :confused:) Until such time as heinäsirkat are as appetizing to Sirpa and Reijo 63 wee as sikanautajauheliha, good luck combining eläkesatanen and meat-milk taxes into a coherent platform, Antti.

Although again my argument is somewhat stymied, this time by HK blüë, hmm.

And milk is good for you and they're even adding vitamin D to it these days so you can play WoW all year round while listening to your favourite animus, you really should give it a go.

They don't have to switch to insect protein, it's probably enough to reduce the amount of meat in portions while using vegetables to replace that part. Unless you're conditioned to think veggies are bad, yuck, there's plenty of room to adapt. I don't buy the narrative that the poor will suffer because they can't eat meatpudding without sidedishes anymore because they can't afford it or learn new recipes. If you can't make hernekeitto, then how the hell can you expect to survive in this country?

How do you make hernari without pig flesh though? :hmmyes:

I eat plenty of veggies, thank you very much, but from an election strategy POV all the homersimpsons (Esson baarin äijät?) are gonna hear is 'food more expensive and it's your dumb fault', this doesn't seem like good PR for the ostensibly worker's party. If Antti thinks those people belong to the trash bin of history / class traitor gulags, that's fine too I guess, but it seems bizarre to combine this with economic populism for the olds.

That's the point - Finnish pea soup has like 1% meat or meat-like substances in it. You could make it meatier but consumers vote with their wallets.

What would be important is that the overall tax burden doesn't increase, so if taxes are added on CO2 intensive products then other products' taxation is lightened and people can make a choice between expensive kebab and cheap potato.
