The year is 2026. Politicians are now so inept and myopic that a few brave mavericks want to put into law that politicians must estimate the long-term consequences of their policies. hs.fi/politiikka/art-2000012…
There are many problems on the Finnish labour market but it's still hilarious to observe that "higher ed degree" are basically magic words and provoke no questioning whatsoever. is.fi/taloussanomat/art-2000…

Also, the Plaza Accords didnt kill Japan but The Bank of Japan's reaction to the Plaza Accords did.
Japan was less export dependent than the other Plaza Accord countries affected (France, UK, Germany). Only 14% of Japan's GDP was exports. The pop narrative was that Plaza overvalued currency killed Japanese competitiveness and exports. But as you said, Japan continued to grow in exports.
The real issue with Japan was the Bank of Japan slashing interest rates and the money went to real estate & stocks over manufscturing and infra. Then when Bank of Japan raised rates in the late 80s/ early 90s, the bubble popped.
The Finnish Defence Forces will establish a space operations center in Jyväskylä. Nice city, very nice landscapes.
Perustimme Puolustusvoimien avaruusoperaatiokeskuksen Tikkakoskelle. Keskus aloittaa toimintansa 1.1.2027. Alkuun siellä toimii 20 henkilöä, ja määrä kasvaa lähivuosina. Avaruussuorituskykyjen kehittäminen on nykyaikaiselle puolustukselle välttämätöntä. 🇫🇮

Finnish retail investors have this weird interest in IREN like they used to have with Qt. I guess it made some people money but it's still clearly some groupthink thing. Finnish investment forums are quite small.
European governments will invent 52 new taxes to finance the unsustainable promises made decades ago.
You should've had more kids and raise them so that they also want kids.
🔴 🇫🇷 ALERTE INFO - DU JAMAIS VU: UNE TAXE SUR CHAQUE GIGAOCTET INTERNET VOTÉE À L’ASSEMBLÉE
Les députés ont adopté un amendement prévoyant de taxer les producteurs de données numériques à hauteur de 5,5 centimes par Go transmis.
💰 Objectif affiché : jusqu’à 10 milliards d’euros par an.
Netflix, YouTube, cloud, jeux dématérialisés… les grands services numériques pourraient être concernés, avec un risque de répercussion sur les prix pour les consommateurs.

I know many people are losing their minds over both SanDisk and Kioxia at the moment but I'm fascinated by their long-standing, very successful joint venture. It's a difficult thing anyway in tech but it also survived SanDisk being bought and spun off and Toshiba's meltdown.
lmao
🚨 BREAKING: EU countries have dropped the idea of offering Canada "associate member" status in the 27-member bloc, opting instead for softer language promising "ever closer association," according to a draft statement, seen by POLITICO.

There are still many cows have to be slaughtered until we make good policy again.

I've been in France since 2002 and have never seen the streets so violent nor the politics so extreme. From the sacking of the supermarket on my street to the prospect of Présidente Le Pen, here's me @FT including thoughts from 2 French Nobel laureates as.ft.com/r/addcad57-0f9d-4e…
Finns are so happy because they have so little food taboos. They will turn themselves into crazy producers and consumers of tortillas and when they get bored of texmex they just make "tortilla pizzas" with ham on it and feel like they discovered Atlantis.
No one can beat this.
It's interesting how sheltered my kids are from online content because whenever we visit other people and see the demonic "kids content" running on their screens I feel absolute despair.
It's really dangerous out there.
