The Great Nordic Thread

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

Wow this thread is dead.


Anyways, big strikes began this evening in Finland. A whopping 300,000 workers are striking, out of a total population of 5.5 million and workforce of 2.3 million (13% of the workforce).

Whole country is grinding to a halt. Railways, busses, metros, airlines, childcare centers, industry, restaurants, hotels, postal workers, retail and more are affected.

The Orpo government wants to cut sickness pay, unemployment benefits, weaken protection against dismissal, restrict the right to strike, and weakening nationwide sectoral bargaining.

There was a school shooting today in Vantaa, Finland. A 12-year-old student shot three classmates of the same age, killing one and seriously injuring two. The gun was registered to a family member of the shooter. Police described the act as premeditated.

Nevertheless, the shooter will not be charged with anything and will not spend a single day behind bars. This is because the Finnish law states that no one under the age of 15 is criminally culpable for their actions. I have long considered that absurd, and this case just underlines that. A 12-year-old is not a toddler. A 12-year-old knows what murder is and what happens when you shoot someone. Sweden's law is the same in this regard, and there criminal gangs actively recruit children under 15 for this very reason.

The shooter will probably be taken into custody of social workers and moved into another school with a new name. Everyone who knows his identity will be forced to keep quiet. And then we'll just wait to see if he does it again.

There haven't been any concrete proposals, no.
