You’re not supposed to live on somebody elses money once you’re an adult. Get a job
Not a surprise. Its funny how some can think something good will come out of this. People who have it hardest already will be more miserable. At the same time those who already have the most will get even more. I dont see how this moves us as a society to a better future. Its just widens the gap between rich and poor. It will also be more costly to the society in the long run, since peoples lives will become worse, which means it will take more resources to help them with their problems so they can be productive members in society. Also people who are desperate are usually more drawn to survive by illegal ways, which has its own costs to society at large.
Truly a classic case of cut from the poor. Not the first time and certainly not the last. Then again I suppose that is sort of how the political flip-flop tends to go
Yeah, we have an inhuman government in power which blatantly benefits the rich with their decisions while financing this from the poor and the sick. As a cherry on top, they increase government debt despite promising otherwise and needlessly exaggerating it before the elections last year.
It seems that this gouvernment really hates the common people. You know the people that try their best to make a liveable situation out of the hand that was dealt to them.
I have not seen anything that would tax or take away from the already rich people.
People protest en-mass and they should but it does not stop these awful gouvernment to propose and make even worse laws.
George Thorogood made a song in 1993 that fits here nicely 👍🏻
Business as usual
more and more people will have to steal food to not starve, and the solution will be to install more cameras with AI software (cause paying salaries is old-fashioned) to catch the penniless thieves
This is what you get for voting right wing
Its way too easy to be a welfare wizard in finland. I think its great they are trying to get people to actually work instead of just leech from others.

Welfare cuts hit low-income people the hardest? What the frick, never would’ve guessed
Mee töihin.
***IMF “satisfied” with government plans***
This is good direction. I just dont like the index freezing
America and the rest of the EU can’t have a Finland with great education and no homelessness showing them up. Welcome to austerity! Here in Canada we have the Americans financializing every last drop of the frame of freedom (guaranteed housing, healthcare, education) so that productivity plummets because everyone is so stressed out and the solution is…asset managers plundering all small businesses and turning them into stocks! We are not in profits and markets we are in feudalism or something totally new with feudalism being the closest concept we’ve got as of yet.
They are balancing the budget, with emphasis on making work more profitable. It does mean that people who can’t find work will take the hit, but the inconvenient truth is that there are too many people who are milking the system by various life choices. The student housing benefit increase in 2017 turned out to be too expensive, and is now partly taken back.
Sarcastic “oh no”
Sincerely all middle aged and older people propably
Everyone is responsible of their own life. Society should help people do well, but not be held accountible for ones low success. Of course there are people who will have low to zero chance of providing for themselves and then society should help them more, but far too many losers think they belong into special needs group.
Retirees are the future. :/
My thoughts. Down with this piece of shit government that only supports the rich and the racists.
Blame the immigrants…
Groups of people who are not in the cabinets negotiating and making decisions directly, are always getting the worst treatment when there are budget cuts.
These groups include:
– young people (childrens, teens, often young adults)
– chronically ill people
– unemployed
– pensioners
– immigrants
– potentially some minority groups
What’s the point of working if you get more money from the government for not working?
How am I supposed to be a full time student while trying to figure out how to not starve. Fuck this shit man.
My thoughts: “I never thought leopards would eat MY face,” sobs a person who voted for the *Leopards Eating* People’s *Faces* Party.
As an above average income middle-aged person: this sucks, badly, far into the future. I’m old enough to remember the 1990s recession, it left a lasting mark.
