So uhh...
Finnish Interior Minister, Mari Rantanen (PS), is suggesting we'd have "welfare-detectives"
Her reasoning?
The welfare system's own statistics say there's very little fraud/misallocation among those receiving benefits, so the system itself "has to be faulty."
In essence, she wants the state to send authorities to spy on the poor (kinda like how insurance companies do) just for the sake of them being poor.

I found some more traveling libraries! These are from the Finnish Seafarers' Union from the 1920s and are, I believe, to be brought aboard boats. From (yes I am at work today) Flickr Commons. #libraries #books #finland

âIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.ââŠ
Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

Remember how Finland had #nazi minister #Junnila not too long ago?
Well, his replacement has made jokes about himself being a nazi while visiting a nazi memorial in Germany.
The guy's also involved in grooming and coercing of minors.
...And now the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation is looking into him detailing classified details of the victims in his case in his book... In which he claims he's a martyr, basically.
Shit's bad.

"I asked a group of Helsinki officials what role information technology has played in their success reducing crashes in recent years. 'Zero,' replied Palomaki. 'We simply slowed down the cars.'"
Finland also investigates fatal car crashes similarly to how we investigate plane crashes.

#Finland Olkiluoto #nuclear power plant block 3 is now going into full power after being first connected to the electrical grid in May 2022. The power capacity of the new block is 1600 MW and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) 42 EUR/MWh, even after all delays that plagued the plant due to changing legislative environment.
Elokapina - Extinction Rebellion Finland regrets and finds it shameful that the SĂĄmi Parliament Act revision was effectively killed yesterday by Constitutional Law Committee.
This makes Sanna Marin's government a third Finnish govt which fails to revise the current law. The law has been condemned e.g. by the majority on the SĂĄmi Parliament, the UN Human Rights Council and UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

The students were to pass the test by connecting their computers with an Ethernet cable to the examination machine running a special OS, presumably a fork of Debian. The test was taken by tunneling into the examination machine through the web browser and handling the exam in an accessible HTML from there.
Sadly, the audio recordings for the listening part do not seem to be available. Pity, as they reference Whatsapp voice messages. Would be fun to check for their authenticity based on the sound quality.
On that note: Do language exams in your countries reference modern communication methods or is it still a telephone? When I took my final in German, "Social media: pros and cons" was just a subject of the mini essay I had to put together as part of the writing assignment.

Make sure everyone understands this â Itâs costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

Westerners: âhaha, we pulled one over on ErdoÄan. Donât worry, the Kurds are safeâŚâ
ErdoÄan: âthese signatures don't mean the issue is done... Without our parliament's approval, this does not go into effect ⌠The ball is in their court now.â
âAsked about the extradition of suspects, Erdogan said if the Nordic countries did not send these individuals âthen we will do what is necessary through our institutions and units.ââ

Turkey agrees to back Finland, Sweden NATO bid
Turkey agreed to lift opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO, a breakthrough in an impasse clouding the summit.inkl
âFor as long as Tayyip Erdogan is the head of the Republic of Turkey, we definitely cannot say âyesâ to countries which support terrorism entering NATOâ
Well it seems like thereâs a very easy solution to that problem⌠đ¤
Also, what kind of dickhead speaks about himself in the third person? Oh yes, that kind.

Erdogan Says Wonât Let âTerrorism-Supportingâ Countries Enter NATO
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said talks with Finland and Sweden about their joining NATO were not at the "expected level"âŚinkl
Your daily reminder that ErdoÄan is an islamist autocrat and his regime has the largest number of imprisoned journalists in the world.
(Hey, if Iâm to be called âa terroristâ by these people and barred from visiting the country I was born in for speaking out against him publicly, I might as well continue to do my job diligently.)
Fuck ErdoÄan. I realise Turkeyâs geopolitical military value for NATO but just fuck ErdoÄan.

What does Turkey demand from the USA?
Precisely because these countries were not in NATO, the #CIA had parked the PKK people in #Sweden and #Finland.
Turkey is only using the #PKK as an excuse to say no directly. Rather, it is about lifting sanctions for acquiring #S400 defense systems and rejoining the #F35 program, acquiring modern #F16 fighter jets and that the #EU and #USA don't keep coming up with some new punitive measures.
So #Turkey is about erasing all repression.

Iâm all for Finland and Sweden joining NATO but I hope with my whole heart it doesnât come at the cost of throwing the long-suffering Kurdish people under the bus yet again. If there was ever a time to tell ErdoÄan âsit down, shut up, or fuck offâ, itâs now. In other words, the sultan has no clothes; call his bluff.

Turkey sets demands, not opposed to Finland, Sweden NATO bid
NATO expects the Nordic countriesâ membership bid will not be hindered by Ankara, whose concerns will be addressed.inkl
In case you were still wondering, no, the islamist despot of Turkey, ErdoÄan, has never been (and is not) your ally.
I may have been born Turkish but my solidarity is with the Kurds and their struggle for an independent, democratic, and egalitarian society. Sweden and Finland should be applauded for their support.
