Like I can see plenty of reasons people might vote keskusta if they live in a smaller place and their voters aren't that right wing, it's left of most of it's actual MPs.

I don't care about that at all to be honest, the real horror is that KOK is 2nd, that's far, far worse. And PS is 3rd.... But loving KOK, they should be last.

Keskusta also has the most candidates which makes it easier to pick them randomly. Though by that logic Greens would be in top 3, so...

My interpretation is that teens associate Keskusta with city center and other parties with lähiös.

Not disputing the fact that there are future Coalition youths blooming in high school, but in my experience, the majority of high school kids tend to be anxious and worried about their future, partly thanks to completely hosed up revamp of the university entrance selection system, partly thanks to constant peer-pressure and social media brainworms loving up their perception what normal life is like, and partly thanks to the poor economy, which means less job prospects. Oh, and the constant cuts to education and youth mental welfare systems. Of course, I am not working in one of the prestigious and hard to get into high schools in the capital, so my experience is likely biased.

But I think we had it loving easy in so many ways compared to the kids in high school right now.

To be fair, I suppose Sanna has taken steps away from Pöö-Paavo, but all the same, I'm leery of assessments where things are "loving great" and the comparison is the year 1921 (or if we want some Ostalgie, maybe we can stretch that to 1913 :v:), since that's fairly trivially true for people.

I often like to tell people who are complaining about the state of Finland today that in 1919-1921 there were 226 people killed and further 100 maimed for political reasons (and that's just the political killings, the total number of killings was almost 1000 in that time period), and and as late as in the 1930s about 65/1000 of Finnish children died within the first year of their lives, while the comparable number today is 4/1000.

If one wants something more recent, then in 2019 exactly 65 people died as a result of violent crimes, whereas in back in the nineties the number was between 125 and 173 per year.

I could also rattle off statistics about how much more people died in traffic accidents in the past versus today, or how many children died in accidents, but I think I made my point.

The 90s were quite bleak, yes, on so many levels. Lucky for us that when dad's company went belly-up it was based on one man's skills and there weren't big business loans for heavy machinery and poo poo. Our family would have been in even more dire financial straits otherwise. Our schools weren't doing great either, and the group sizes in comprehensive schools were something that would be pretty unthinkable today.

"Meiltä kysytään, ovatko asiat nykyään paremmin. Me vastaamme: kyllä ja ei. Asiat eivät nykyisin ehkä ole paremmin kuin ennen, mutta kylläkin paremmin kuin tulevaisuudessa."

Asiaa voi tietty pohtia eri näkökulmista. Jos olet paperiduunari, niin 80-luvulla varmaan asiat oli paremmin kun vienti veti ja leipä oli taattu. Jos taas olet transihminen, niin nykyään asenteet, valistuksen taso, tiedon saatavuus jne. ovat ihan eri todellisuudesta kuin 40 vuotta sitten. Mutta kaipa meidän pitäisi pitäytyä tutkimustiedossa jos haluamme sanoa jotain oikeasti pätevää. Esimerkiksi onnellisuusindeksin kehitys tai elinajan odote tai mitä sitten pidetäänkin oleellisena.

And yeah, in a general sense things are just a lot better: think about living in 1980s and the kind of food you had to eat (and cook for your self, no takeout, buddy), the kind of work you had to do, the kind of backwards culture you had to endure around you, the kind of health problems that you probably died from instead of just going to the ER and getting home a couple of days later.

On the other hand I know a lot of people like laid off industrial workers, people in precarious employment, and a lot of badly paid public sector workers for whom the Lama never ended, it's just been a 30 year slow decline in working conditions and social respect. At some point you become cynical and start blaming anyone who they tell you to blame. The rising tide at the end of the 90s sure as poo poo didn't raise all boats.

Working conditions have absolutely not declined, there are objectively better safety and healthcare standards and better working conditions than 20 years ago, unless you're one of those setämies who think that wearing eye protection on construction sites, eating vegetables or seeing a black person or - god forbid, a woman - is literally worse than talvisota.

Work safety has improved, on the other hand so has efficiency and in many cases the latter one comes at the cost of more stress and less time to do the job properly. Healthcare jobs being a prime example. Not that I have delusions of elderly care being perfect when Koivisto was president, but those problems didn't stem out of pure greed like in Esperi Care.

If the state gave me 300 € per month to spend on food, I would pledge to spend the equivalent amount in Alko, with at least 1/3 of the purchases being domestically produced.

This would generate 2,7 jobs, increase my quality of life and decrease my need for end-of-life social and healthcare services. A win-win bargain.

In regards to Marin's breakfast, state travel policy is that when the cost of breakfast is included in the price of lodging (i.e. hotel breakfast), it is not a taxable benefit. I assume this also applies to the private sector because it is the position of the tax authority. Business travel booking systems even prioritize locations with included breakfast because of this.

Vihdoinkin meillä on valtiovarainministeri, joka haluaa lopettaa kansalaisten pelottelun! :yayclod:

quote:

Olen kerta kaikkiaan turhautunut siihen, että ilmastonmuutoksen ympärille on kietoutunut niin paljon syyllistämistä ja pelottelua. Ilmastopolitiikka tarvitsee enemmän toivoa kuin pelkoa. Suomi luotsataan tällaisen muutoksen läpi vain pitämällä kaikki mukana.”

Saarikko kuvasi ilmastonmuutosta väistämättömäksi. Hänen mukaansa uuden teknologian kehittäminen ja hyödyntäminen ratkaisevat ilmastonmuutoksen.

Aijaa... :smithcloud:

quote:

Saarikko viittasi Vanhasen taannoiseen kysymykseen siitä, onko Suomi enää Pohjoismaa. Saarikon mukaan sitä vasten on nyt kolme ongelmallista puollonkaulaa: liian alhainen työllisyys, kehno tuottavuuden kasvu ja tuotannollisten investointien puute.

”Nämä kolme asiaa”, Saarikko korosti ja huomautti, Suomen väestö ikääntyy.

”Emme ole saaneet julkisen sektorin tuloja ja menoja tasapainoon, vaan velkaannumme kroonisesti.”

Pohjoismaisen hyvinvoinnin lupaus ja julkisen talouden kestävyys voidaan Saarikon mukaan turvata vain, jos työllisyys ja tuottavuus ovat Suomessa riittävän korkeita. Hän muistuttaa, että valtiovarainministereiden tärkein tavoite on jo 15 vuoden ajan valtion tulojen ja menojen epäsuhdan korjaaminen.

"Niin kauan on valtion talous ollut miinuksen puolella. Rohkenen sanoa, että koen olevani jollain tavalla uudenlainen valtiovarainministeri, mutta ei nämä vanhat jutut mihinkään pöydältäni poistu.”

Seuraavaksi Saarikon työlistalla on julkisen talouden kestävyystiekartan toimien valmistelu. Hänen mukaansa julkisen talouden tasapainottaminen ”ei tule onnistumaan” vanhoilla lääkkeillä, eli ei vain veronkorotuksilla ja leikkauksilla, vaikka ne ovat työkalupakissa.

quote:

Saarikon mukaan talous- ja veropolitiikka ovat perinteisesti olleet politiikan kovaa ydintä, kun taas perhe-, koulutus- ja sosiaalipolitiikka on nähty pehmeinä osa-alueina.

”Tämän haluan muuttaa.”

”Perhepolitiikka on mitä suurimmassa määrin talouspolitiikkaa”, Saarikko sanoi ja viittasi Suomen heikkoon syntyvyyteen.

Ilman toimenpiteitä suomen väestö lähtee supistumaan, Saarikko huomautti.

Elikkäs Saarikon talouspoliittinen työlista on:

1) Ilmastonmuutosta on turha pysäyttää, kyllä joku insinööri jossain vaiheessa keksii mitä sellutehtailla tehdään siinä vaiheessa kun havumetsät kuihtuvat sillä kapitalismi on erehtymätön
2) Aktiivimalli 3.0? Varmaan myös kielletään järjestäytyminen työpaikoilla
3) Synnytystalkoot (mutta ei mamuille, vain kantaväestölle)
