Wait this is in Finland? At that level of dystopian I was expecting it to be in the USA… That is an insane application process for a grocery store job.
Absolutely agree. I think it would be kinda understandable for something that requires +1 university degrees and pays like +3k€ a month… But for a grocery store clerk making about 1,5k€/month? Nahh.
In a way, probably. Our conservative party would like to quit public healthcare and go into a system with health insurances and only private, for-profit hospitals. They’d like get rid of public schools and imply yearly payments. Some of them would like to sell our groundwater to foreign countries as they have already done with out electric grid and postal services. They want to, and have, weakened labor laws and made it easier to fire people without proper reasons. They’re weakening unions. Hell, our conservative prez golfs with Trump. And not to even start with out nationalist party… Or the Christian party.

That’s exactly what they did here in Germany, and it’s as bad as you can imagine. 2nd class citizens (those who can’t afford or aren’t healthy enough to switch to private insurance) have to wait anything between 4 to 14 months on doctor’s appointments, the hospitals are chronically underfunded (but apparently very profitable), yet we pay hundreds of euros per month. Some specialists basically do not exist for the 2nd class (the few that still do it have zero appointments or are burned out). The usual waiting time for therapy is between 1 (if lucky) and 3 years. Doctors can’t freely prescribe everything they deem necessary as some things might cause claims for compensation by the insurance years later. Or the other way around, they’re enticed to prescribe “specific stuff” just to keep their “business” (the doctors office) afloat, since doctors only get paid once for each patient every quarter. The second appointment within 3 months already makes your doc work for free. Oh, also one appointment is deemed to be only 5 minutes long by insurances. In some regions you can’t even find a General Practitioner anymore, let alone a hospital. It’s deemed “unprofitable” there.
Hell, when I was in hospital there were about 5 nurses for up to 32 cancer (!) patients with up to 8 of them in isolation rooms (including me for a while). At night there was ONE nurse (looked like a refugee desperate for a job) for the WHOLE station. During chemo the bladder doesn’t work too well, I had to call the nurse and waited about 25 minutes in the middle of the night next to a wet bed after scrambling for clean clothes before he stormed in, changed the whole bed in 60 seconds without saying anything and storming back out. I’ll never forget that, if I was still capable to feel a lot inbetween pain, dizzyness and nausea I would’ve felt incredibly alone.
There’s only one thing all of this causes, which is more money for rich people and higher numbers on stock markets. If they push that shit through you’ll suffer.
WTF
Just life in Finland! thumb-emoji

// EDIT; Finland is the true MAGA-Fanboy of EU.
More than Hungary or (formerly, but still somewhat given Neofascism) Italy? Oh god.

You can’t really have a society if you allow Christians in.
