Hieman kärjistäen Suomessa yritetään tehdä halvemmalla huonompaa (eli heikommalla vaihtosuhteella alhaisen tuottavuuden hyödykkeitä).
Etla julkaisi ennusteensa kustannuskilpailukyvystä. Hyvää siinä on, että myönnetään avoimesti:
"Suomen kustannuskilpailukyvyn taso on historiallisen korkea"
Lisäksi siitä käy ilmi, että huipputaso saavutettu palkkamaltilla ja työnantajan sivukuluja alentamalla.

Suomeen on tulossa samantyyppinen yleistuki kuin Britanniaan. Britanniassa talouskuri (austerity) ja yleistuki (universal credit) aiheutti ainakin 120 000 ihmisen kuoleman. Kuolinsyitä olivat mm. nälkä ja kylmyys. Haluammeko me oikeasti samaa Suomeen? Minne meidän inhimillisyytemme katosi?
Uusi yleistuki herättää ristiriitaisia tunteita – lakiesityksestä päätetään keskiviikkona
Eduskunta päättää tällä viikolla työmarkkinatuen ja peruspäivärahan yhdistämisestä. Lisää etuuksia aiotaan yhdistää myöhemmin.

This is why Elon Musk’s X platform was fined by the EU. Elon refused to follow the regulations that every other platform has to adhere to in the EU. This is not a “free speech” issue.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

In this 🧵 I'll document it, Commissioner by Commissioner. When did they last post? How often do they post?
