quote:

PERUSSUOMALAISTEN entinen puheenjohtaja Timo Soini arvioi, että naispuheenjohtajan valinta olisi perussuomalaisilta iso riski, kertoo Uutissuomalainen. Soinin mukaan osa perussuomalaisista miehistä ajattelee varmasti, ettei asiasta taida tulla mitään.

”On ihan selvää, että kokoomus hyötyy asetelmasta, kun Petteri Orpo on siellä puheenjohtajana. Ei näitä sukupuolen perusteella äänestäviä paljon ole, mutta pienikin joukko riittää varmistamaan [kokoomuksen] voiton”, Soini sanoo Uutissuomalaisen haastattelussa.

Perussuomalaisten varapuheenjohtajaa Riikka Purraa pidetään puolueen puheenjohtajakisan ennakkosuosikkina. Soini sanoo olevansa varma Purran voitosta ja pitää puheenjohtajakisaa ”huonona kesäteatterina”.

Soini moittii haastattelussa myös ankarasti perussuomalaisten väistyvää puheenjohtajaa Jussi Halla-ahoa. Soinin mukaan Halla-ahon kantti petti, kun pääministerin paikka tai ainakin hallituspaikka alkoi siintää horisontissa.

”Heti, kun jätkä sai karttakepistä ensimmäisen kerran vähän näpeilleen, niin kapina loppui siihen paikkaan. Nyt hän menee nurkkaan viisastelemaan ja ampumaan pillillä palleroita”, Soini sivaltaa.

I mean I feel you. We were promised (or something in that fashion) that this summer would be the final spurt towards freedom. I guess we're still on that way, but pandemics don't follow schedules.

That said I'm not exactly enthralled with potentially sending kids to environments where they can contract an easily contractable disease that might have long lasting health effects.

Paula Vesala and the rest of tapatuhma-ala promised us that it's totally safe to open bars and festivals. If our artists know how to keep drunk festival folk from exchanging bodily fluids with total strangers then maybe they should also be put in charge of education.

We're better off right now than during the previous waves, though, because most of the older cohorts are already vaccinated and the young anti-vacc idiots seldom get the worst effects. So it's less likely that our emergency rooms would run out of capacity. Not that there won't be deaths, though. But it is really dangerous to continue with etäopetus especially for kids who have trouble following even contact education.

That's gonna take a goddamn while.

Just take a look at our age group eligibility and realize that the whole "everyone has had a chance to get vaccinated" is hilariously not true anywhere in the world, including the US who are hogging all the shots, never loving mind Finland. We just don't have enough vaccine.

We're starting the "everyone" shot availability... this month. Then we wait three months. And well, everyone eligible going for their shots at the same time would promptly make us run out of capacity.

No they most definitely are not doing that yet. I got my first shot in June and will gey the second shot in September. I also started teaching classes a week ago, and I am now awaiting my test results, while suffering flu-like symptoms, yet again.

Lapset voivat toki saada tartunnan, mutta tartunnalla ja sairastumisella on aika merkittävä ero.

Pitkälle covidille en anna kovin paljon arvoa kun kaikki siitä toistaiseksi näkemäni tutkimukset ovat olleet kyselyjä, joissa hyväksytään äärimmäisen laajat oireet eikä tunnuta otettavan huomioon psykosomaattisia vaikutuksia, joita tämä 1,5v jatkunut päivittäinen koronapaniikki on hyvin todennäköisesti aiheuttanut. Se, että nykyisessä ilmapiirissä ihmiset kertovat kärsivänsä uupumuksesta ja masennuksesta ei pitäisi olla yllätys kenellekään.

Eivät nämä rajoituksetkaan mitään ilmaisia ole, rahallisessa tai inhimillisessä mielessä. Vai eikö siitä ole mitään haittaa, jos meillä kasvaa sosiaalisesti eristetty sukupolvi joiden opiskelu on koostunut youtuben katselemisesta zoomissa?

I agree with this sentiment. Even if we generally follow age preference, maybe being in a vulnerable profession should count as +10 modifier to age or something like that?

Problems might arise from the healthcare sector not having up to date information about everyone's job situation, but that's a problem that can be solved by throwing a few billion euros to Tieto so they can cross-check two Excel files.

Eh, they'll be fine. Currently lukio is nowadays a corporate mandated uraohjus-hellhole that heavily favors "hard" sciences over humanities, so maybe it'll do them more good jumping out of that rat race. Vocational schools are no better.

Ihan totta tämä, kunhan yritin vähän yksinkertaistaa tekstiä. Mutta joka tapauksessa deltaakin vastaan tartunnan saamisen riski on aivan valtavasti pienempi toisen annoksen jälkeen, vaikka ei suinkaan lähellekään nolla.

Well, this is something I picked up while I was in adult night school, and how they changed the points system for university entrance tests by giving points of variable degree depending on what you studied. Finland being an engineer heavy country, you get the most points from STEM curriculums. This has resulted in students ignoring curriculums that only give low points or just streamlining their portfolio. Thus languages like german or france for that matter are suffering, since they don't fit in the students busy schedules. Add in brain farts from consultants giving academic freedom to students when they sure as hell aren't mentally ready for it and you have a mix that's gonna appear in PISA results for a long time.

I am well aware, since I teach humanities and languages.

And trust me when I say that I am quite unhappy with the changes.

Edit. Also, I've taught at adult night school, and liked it a lot. If given the choice of permanent position at adult night school or regular high school, I'd probably pick the former.

Of course, I am never going to get a permanent position with my combo of subjects. :shepicide:

That, and advanced math has 10 + 3 courses. Of course, the system of determining the base value the points based on the number of courses in national curriculum leads to a lot of stupidity. You get more points for religion than extra foreign language when applying to study a foreign language in university, for example.

People who are good at math will still breeze through it but people who aren't will struggle a lot. Like, I had a much easier time with math than anything where I actually had to read poo poo and put in work.

It's a very different skillset than non-science subjects. It does not make sense to put a strong emphasis on math in career paths that don't require it.

One reason they moved away from entrance exams was to make the system more equal. In many places you had to take valmennuskurssi, which are private and cost money, to have a real chance of getting in. The course operators knew exactly what to teach so it was not fair. That was an argument for moving away from pääsykokeet.
