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

      Oof.

      Doesn’t Finland have UBI though? They’ve also basically solved homelessness.

        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.

              I think all the Nordic states are hard to get in to as well. Oh well.

                Yeah my life dream is to live in Iceland but short of marrying someone there it’s probably never happening

          You are objectively wrong.

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

            Suuuuuuure, which can be taken away at a moments notice, like when conscripting
