Socialist Finland the happiest people in the world
May 4th, 2018 at 11:46am
 
Don't believe the liberal lies about user pays system, privitization rackets and greed. According to the UN the Scandinavian countries have more happier people than the rest of the world simply because they are not driven and run by greed incorporated !!

Quote:
Finland, along with other Scandinavian countries, landed the top spot on the United Nations’ World Happiness Report, released Wednesday. The list, which ranks countries based on account income, healthy life expectancy, social support, freedom, trust and generosity.

There are alternatives to a single-payer healthcare system.

Switzerland for example has something called 'regulated private insurance'.

A UN report.

Isn't that the mob who for years has been pressuring Western governments to take evermore Third Worlders and Muslim immigrants and refugees to the effect we now have a situation of jailed apprehended terrorists, Muslim No Go areas, home-grown suicide bombers, and home-grown Muslims fighting for ISIS?

The UN's credibility is zero.

The UN did not sanction the war in Iraq and there never were any weapons of mass destruction....They were against creating a civil war in the Middle East....You are blaming the wrong people mate???

Been to Finland

Lovely people, but the 24 hour daylight is a killer.

Education is free, hospitals are free
Well sort of, they pay quite high tax.
But at least you aren't fleeced by multinational healh greed funds giving nothing back.
And you can get any education to what ever level you are capable of achieving, not by how much cash you have under howards poor pay more system ( may he rot for eternity in the darkest reaches of hell)

I watched one day when the prime minister got off his boat with his wife and walked through the people on the dock
Shaking hands and talking to them
No security, none was required
No police, none required
He had a meal unhindered and went on his way.

Could ANY of the parasites we have even think of doing the same?

In Finland their politicians are respected because they look after the people

In Australia our politicians are hated because the look after themselves and who ever gives them bribes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model

The Nordic model (also called Nordic capitalism[1] or Nordic social democracy)[2][3] refers to the economic and social policies common to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Sweden). This includes a combination of free market capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level with a high percentage of workers belonging to a labour union;[4] and state provision of free education and free healthcare as well as generous, guaranteed pension payments for retirees funded by taxation.[5][6] The Nordic model began to earn attention after World War II.[7][8]

Although there are significant differences among the Nordic countries, they all share some common traits. These include support for a "universalist" welfare state aimed specifically at enhancing individual autonomy and promoting social mobility; a corporatist system involving a tripartite arrangement where representatives of labor and employers negotiate wages and labor market policy mediated by the government;[9] and a commitment to widespread private ownership, free markets and free trade.[10]

Life in Finland is ...fine (*yawn).
Especially when the country doesn't have 'children' to burden their quality of life and responsibilities.
They are 'free' to live a quality of life with a population of just a mere 5 million people.
They are obviously so 'bored' in their 'perfect' nation - that they were labelled the most 'depressed' people for many many years, along with the highest 'suicide' rate in the world.
Apparently though, this year they were labelled the 'Happiest People' on the planet.  Grin I'm sure that 'promo' was well paid for to encourage Tourism.  Wink
Truth is though - it is a very 'bored' and boring nation.

They even import Turkish people and other 'ethnics' from out of Europe to be their 'pets' and be the replacement for 'children' ...and white fluffy dogs.

Finland is a 'dying' nation.
Finland is dying from 'suicide'.
That's the price you pay for such a sterile 'perfect' existence.

They eat roll mops, the guys are alcoholics and misogynists, but you can have heaps of fun in the sauna with the girls.
So, some bad, some good, I'd call that a push.

Yes. Scandinavians (and even Germans) are sexually 'perverse' and 'desperate'. Such is the sacrifice for their superior 'economics' and financial quality.
Unlike the southern European 'Latin' nations: renowned for their French, Italian, Spanish, etc 'flare' for being  a 'ladies man'. Sex 'cums' easy to Soutern Europeans ...economics, not so - just ask the Greeks.  Grin

Yeah but... That is socialism, socialism is not communism unless you are a wingnut.

I remember in the '70s we were kinda going the Nordic Model, then came the '80s and "greed is good' US Gordon Gekko view of the economy started taking hold. From what I've seen that's only seen greater divides in society, more unhappiness, less social cohesiveness and empathy setting Australians against Australians in their desire to grab more toys than others.

High tax is fine if you get something out of it. Here we are taxed in the upper % of the world and we get nothing from it.
