    It’s basically impossible to find a job in Finland right now if that makes you feel any better

        Yeah there’s support. But Finlands economy is really stagnant right now. Also they border Russia. And the country is politically swinging to the right like most places today

        The grass is always greener lol

          Fair points.

          I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that unemployment means something very different in more extreme capitalist countries. :)

          How are you and your fellow Finns with expats? I have dreamed of learning Finnish and trying to get a visa

            I’m not Finnish but I tried to move there a few years back. Finland is sadly quite xenophobic.

          You are objectively wrong.

          They have solved homelessness, minus approximately 1,000 willfully homeless people. (Though I like to think of them as Nomads.)

                Yeah it’s totally not going to change with NATO membership & Russia has got nothing to do with it, but NATO imperialism on the other hand…

              The only thing I disagree with there is they force you to cut your hair lol

              Guess how much gun violence there is in Finland thanks to mandatory basic training
