I obviously have no idea how the social services and healthcare reform package will go down since I suppose they're still working on details.

BUT

Based on what has been suggested, here's my take:

- it's probably against the constitution, especially the weird 18+15 system, but possibly other aspects as well
- it's going to make the our health care system incredibly complicated and hard to control
- it will increase bureaucracy and make things more complicated to control
- it will increase costs due to complexity, constant flux and difficulty in planning
- it will make defining and gauging the big picture of healthcare very difficult

- it will probably be a system for large healthcare companies to pump tax monies
- it will probably divide the system between the well off and poo poo poor
- it will probably not fix any of the problems our current system has

- it's not a free market system, since it's all about large health care companies getting government contracts
- it's not a socialist system, since there's a voucher system
- it's not a mixed system since it fucks over all small time operators

So basically, it's poo poo but on the other hand the people deciding were probably high on speed or just stupid or both.

but, thats not really different from all the other vaunted sote reforms anyway.

Not quite, a variant of those but not the same, different taste/texture/shape. I only ever found them at Dragsvik sotilaskoti and they where much nicer than any berliner. I could almost rejoin the army for them.

The funniest thing about dogs is that once they finish doggy day-care, get some obedience training, play some fetch for Hau-Hau snacks for a few years and all that stuff they'll be voting Kokoomus for the rest of their lives.

And when they get too old to be useful anymore you can just put them down. You don't even need to take them to the vet, you can just shoot them behind your mansion.

Look, physics dictate that if there particles, they must have anti-particle counterparts. This argument works both ways. We know there are anti-fascists/anti-nazis out there. So there must exist nazis. And based on observations of the universe, we can also deduce that the nazis must far outnumber the anti-nazis.

This pro-nazi leaning of the universe has yet to be explained. But it's probably ligurs fault.

Hey, so Jerry Cotton told me that his grandparents helped/collaborated with the Nazis when the Finns were allied with them by sending all the Jews that lived in "the good part of town" to the camps. Do you guys have any similar family stories? Or even of family that helped Jews from being exterminated rather than helping the Nazis? Thanks. :)

Doesn't really matter if they where jews or not, only if they were rich or not.

Important mustard musings: If Auran sinappia is the same as turun sinappia, same recipe, even made in the old factory in Turku. How come they taste different? Or am I imagening things? Maybe I need to buy the red one, I usually prefer green Turun but maybe I need to try the red Auran.

NATO would be unable to protect the baltic countries today if Russia decided to invade:

Fat load a good that does you.

We need to stop relying on americans and subhumans like the brits. We need to beef up our own defences and make sure the swedes stop dismantling theirs. Reinstate the draft to make all the city twinks cry about the time they're gonna lose that could have been spent shopping in the mall.

You know, I can't really see much of a point with joining NATO considering most of the NATO member countries have nothing to contribute in case of actual war. Finland has a pretty good military right now, and cheap too. Sweden's right wingers managed to dismantle the national defense in favor of having a small army for foreign interventions and now the Swedes are panicking about not actually having a military worth a poo poo, and similar things happened in the UK, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. I am sure as hell that the same would happen here too in case we'd join Nato.

Yeah nato is great if you got poo poo for brains. Like was said in the article linked earlier, Nato can't even defend the baltic states even if they wanted in their current state.

As far as stupid comments go, this one is pretty up near to the top. Do you understand that being next to Russia means that it's almost impossible to "defend" the Baltics if Russia decided to invade? Unless you literally move half of the U.S. military here.

Invading the Baltics means declaring war against NATO countries.

Yeah and then what, do you really think we'll glass the world over the football stadium sized piece of dirt you think is a country?
