    I used to think this was a great idea and was confused why it wasn’t implemented in the states until I realized the capitalist class doesn’t want to convert more people into labor and that the goal is to split the profits of the company with the least amount of people as possible.

    Homelessness and benches you can’t rest on, it’s by design.

      Finland is a capitalist country, like the rest of the Nordics. Social safety nets = socialism/communism is a tired old propaganda meme.

      (Yes, I know we’re technically a mixed economy like 99,99999% of the rest of the world)

      Not quite. They DO want more workers but they also want to pay them less, which is why they’d rather let millions of illegals into the country before they’ll take care of their own citizens.

      I don’t see why people have to make things into dastardly schemes. Systems have negative externalities, it can still be a bad thing without having a person trying to cause a bad thing behind it.
