Technically true, on account of labor being entitled to all it creates.

The notions of a fair wages, fair profits, fair taxation and so on are sort of silly liberal concepts reflecting the shared fantasy of a benevolent capitalism hidden behind a layer of corruption caused by bad people, instead of capitalism being inherently amoral and indifferent to human sensibilities and the corrupt fucks everywhere just reflecting that reality. If subsidised low-wage work turns out to be economically more advantageous than the alternative, we will implement it now, implement it later when our economy is suffering in relation to others that did implement it, or sacrifice something else that our competitors haven’t sacrificed yet themselves.

I don’t claim that everything is terrible yet, but the direction since the 90’s is clear and long-term there are only two happy options: either find another human-friendly but also economically advantageous configuration of capitalism that can last longer than half a century, or end capitalism itself. For now, even though their proposals still look ridiculous, neoliberals mostly have it right. They embrace capital’s rule over viable political alternatives and indifference to human values rather than denying it like the reformist left, doing a shameful job at trying to soften it like the ”realistic” center-left, or reaching for scapegoats, swarthy or ideological or rich, like the populists.

I like to imagine GP steaming in his chair as he reads these posts and unable to do anything as shelling out 10 bucks would hurt his ego considering how little he supposedly cares about this (or he is just poor just like some die hard republicans secretly like to suck dick (cock?)).

What up my folks? Living the life of a programming consultant (read: [code] whore) can be stressful at times but at least I mostly get to work whenever I want to, these days. Thursday just became a Friday for me.

It's kind of symptomatic of the rot in our political system that someone like Jungner can rise to the top levels of party politics despite being one of the dumbest motherfuckers in Finland.

It's even worse that no one is ever pointing out that he's been an incompetent disaster.

”Rot” kinda implies that there existed a historical ”good” stage of our political system that went bad. Jungner doesn’t stand out enough for people with ties to the political system to perceive anything special as having happened.

I’m not saying our system is any special sort of bad, it’s just a somewhat improved version of the systems that have produced all those historical and modern powerful clowns all around the world.

Wine in Finland costs about 3x as much as I paid for it in Australia, so I am cool with the monopoly being hacked at a little.

Good wine is far cheaper in Finland than abroad though. Alko gets great deals from wholesalers and manufacturers due to the volumes they buy.

Do a price comparison for something like Veuve Clicquot in Alko and in the US, for fun.

That's not a very good comparison because the logistics costs (and possible tariffs) are vastly different.

e: Also it costs almost exactly the same.

Who cares what it costs, Finns are still going to buy it and that way at least pay part of the cost of their liver treatments.

What really needs to be done is ban importing car loads of cheap booze from EU.

Alko also raises the prices of cheap wines or whatever they sell lots of so they can subsidize eg. better wines and craft beers. I heard they're almost selling the latter at a loss when you consider that they could use the self space for something more popular. They probably also have some national health considerations in mind when they can decide what's the cheapest bottle of wine you can get.
