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.

Sisäministeri Rantanen ehdottaa ”Kela-etsiviä” tukien väärin­käyttäjien paljastamiseksi

Sisäministeri Mari Rantanen ihmetteli Iltalehden haastattelussa, miten väärin­käytöksiä selvitetään ainoastaan katsomalla tulorekisteriin: ”Se ei ehkä ole koko totuus.”

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

They should do this here. Boosting Brent Toderian (BrentToderian): This is REALLY important.

“In 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.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

So like...

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.

Olkiluoto 3 aloittaa ”säännöllisen sähköntuotannon”, mutta sillä on lähinnä symbolinen merkitys – lue, miksi

Edessä ei ole dramaattisia muutoksia.
