      Isn’t Finland relatively equal. Not saying this issue is not a thing there just that it is worse in most other countries.

      I don’t think Finland is the only one country with this problem.

      In the Netherlands for example, we have to pay a Freedom Tax to fund our military.
      However, the numbers clearly shows that the lower and middle incomes had to pay much more taxes compared with the rich. This is only a single example and I’m pretty sure their are more of them.

      I always feel like happiest places are near Mediterranean. They do no stress about work, always smile and are outside a lot. Are often late, do not care about waiting and so on. 

      Makes me wonder really

      It’s almost as if the only difference between human beings that matters isn’t race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. but class or something…

      She surely has some points. At the same time her trademark as a writer seems to be ’very edgy’.

      I live in DK, and we are the same. I have been hit by long-covid, and only my parents in the middleclass eg with house, and me working in the private sector so covered by private insurance, has prevented me from becoming very poor and the worst parts of the welfare system. A system thats being undone, while they give tax breaks to the rich and blame Muslims for everything. This is the social democrats and they lost the last election and rightly so.

      Of course they do. Its what capitalism is. Exploitation, division based on class… Until we destroy it and build a new system, no amount of voting or reforms will benefit the whole population

      Thank you.

      Im officially a cregiver and unemploywd job seeker. I get now exactly 595 as job market allowance and 470 compensation as caregiver.

      If i accept any part time job, the any euro i get, cuts half euros from that 595 euros. (And i have to accept any job, or my allowance is cut)

      So if i do get longer gig i could basically just try earning more. But here’s the tricky part.

      Any longer job gig means i cannot work as caregiver so my caregivers compensation gets cut according to how much i am unavailable.

      From june, the caregiver’s compensation will be viewed as a salary which means that it will also start cutting half euro from every euro from my job market allowance.

      In which universe, accepting job is less profitable than not. In which universe, caregivers have to balance between works, just to get by. 

      Lately employers have started to notice this too and i get less and less invites for job interviews.

      At this point even having a job makes you „rich“

      Everything is great though, so much so that Purra doesn’t even need to worry about the finances, I assume thats why she posts every half an hour on twitter about how terrible immigrants are.

      As a poor person or unemployed it’s the same hell everywhere, but just slightly less bad in Finland compared to many places

      I was unemployed and could not manage to survive with what we had in Finland, so we moved to Spain. Spain is better.

      Towards the end of living in Finland we were constantly going deeper and deeper into debt just to make rent and still have money left for food

      Shocking insights: it isn‘t nice to be poor. Not even in the „happiest“ country.

      Who could image this ?

      >The country now leans so heavily on glossy campaigns promoting Finland as progressive and equal. Yet stricter permanent residence rules, increased deportations and tighter visa requirements send the opposite message. It is hardly surprising that the number of people moving to Finland from abroad has also fallen sharply.

      Oh, God forbid a country to set rules, who can come in.
