Jyrki Vainio wrote that in Finland there was an incomprehensible tradition, according to him, where small businesses were destroyed once in a generation, and claimed that the same was happening again. #Suomi #pienyritykset #perinteet (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that the concern over the support for the National Coalition Party had led to communication guidelines, which he claimed originated from Ellun Kanoilta or imams. He assessed that the guidelines resulted in criticism from the Finns Party and discussions about inheritance tax. Merano said he understood why the National Coalition Party did not want to eliminate inheritance tax by reducing an equivalent amount of development aid. According to him, the party's target program committed to the UN's sustainable development principles, which indicated using 0.7 percent of gross national product for development aid. Merano estimated that this meant doubling the current development aid of about one billion euros. He argued that development aid could not be cut if the goal was to increase the use of tax funds for what he described as virtue signaling and for financing, among other things, swimming pools, private zoos, and golf courses. According to him, this would be the case even if the cut would allow for the elimination of the inheritance tax. #Kokoomus #Perintövero #Kehitysapu (translated)

Joonas Kiviranta wrote that the pension contributions paid by the prematurely deceased remained in the pension system according to him, and the heirs received nothing from them. He described property protection as non-existent and the effective inheritance tax rate as 100%. #eläkejärjestelmä #perintö #talous (translated)

Joni Juusela wrote that inheritance tax was one of the most harmful taxes in Finland and should be abolished. Working in the financial sector, he stated that he could see its practical disadvantages and said that Finland needed family businesses committed to growing in the country from generation to generation. Juusela believed that the impact on public finances should be considered when abolishing the tax, as government bond rates were rising globally, in his opinion. He warned of a repeat of the situation in Britain following Truss's mini-budget, when large unfunded tax cuts spooked the bond markets. To secure financing, he suggested cutting development aid and removing the tax exemption for foundations and associations. Juusela reminded that small inheritances were tax-free at that time. If inheritance tax were to be replaced with capital gains tax, he believed that the change should not drastically tighten the taxation of small inheritances, for example when selling old apartments. He proposed protective measures during the transition, such as a tax deferral right similar to Sweden's or deemed acquisition costs, so that the middle class could also have the opportunity to build wealth that spans generations. #perintövero #perheyritykset #kansankapitalismi (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that the imam's statement about Finnish law applying to Muslims did not, in her opinion, answer the question of the status of sharia law nor did it exclude the possibility of considering it important. She described the response as misleading. Alanko claimed that Aw-Musse had not distanced himself from sharia law or the idea of separate sharia courts in Finland. She suggested that this was related to both the imam's role and the fact that messages pleasing to Finns might be beneficial in the long term. According to Alanko, Aw-Musse could have directly stated that he did not want to replace Finnish laws with an Islamic legal system. Alanko finally referred to Jari Sarasvuo's statement that sharia or a parallel culture was not needed in Finland. #Suomi #Islam #Šaria (translated)

Veli Karimies wrote that according to the National Coalition Party, the Finns Party had not agreed to the abolition of inheritance tax. He included a link to the Finns Party in his publication. https://t.co/4PHHTTJKm8 #politiikka #Suomi #verotus (translated)

Klaus said he had responded to a user named Sukkola, who he claimed had blocked him. He stated that his criticism was directed at Said Aw-Musse's position as a religious authority rather than at his personal actions. Klaus described classical Sunni Islam as a tradition in which sharia is seen as divinely ordained and as a legal system superior to human laws. According to him, it included legal, moral, and social rules regarding, among other things, testimony, inheritance, apostasy, and legislative authority. Klaus wrote that Aw-Musse had studied theology in Saudi Arabia and worked in a mosque where the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab had been used. He described this figure as an ultra-conservative thinker who demanded the return of Islam to its literal roots. According to Klaus, Aw-Musse's refusal to clarify his position on the primacy of Finnish law and the status of sharia justified suspicion. Merely following the law, in his opinion, did not indicate whether he considered the constitutional order of Finland to be just and final or a temporary imposition. Klaus expressed a desire to know what kind of Finland Aw-Musse envisioned in 50 or 100 years. Klaus believed that questions regarding women's rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and criminal law were not leading him into a trap but were inquiries into whether Aw-Musse accepted the principles of the Finnish rule of law. He deemed Aw-Musse's public stance significant for its societal relevance due to his religious role. According to Klaus, integration required not only adherence to the law but also acceptance of fundamental values. #uskonto #oikeudet #kulttuuri (translated)

Otto Juote asked whether it was true that the abolition of inheritance tax failed in the government because the National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party did not agree to the conditions set by the Finns Party regarding cuts to development aid and tightening immigration policies. #perintövero #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Sami Pakarinen wrote that according to a recent survey, Finns support spending cuts as well as the abolition of inheritance and gift tax. He said he found the result a topic to smile about. https://t.co/KWFA8lN63N #Suomi #kysely #verotus (translated)

Otto Juote criticized the National Coalition Party for allegedly abandoning its values and becoming an assistant to the right-wing government. He wrote that disappointed voters were shifting to support the Left Alliance and the Social Democratic Party and questioned where the previously promised projects, such as Garden Helsinki, senior spa vouchers, and the sale of natural monopolies to international investors, had gone. Juote ironically described the National Coalition Party as a leftist social-liberal party, which in his view had previously supported, among other things, state-owned projects, service vouchers, increased immigration from developing countries, climate actions, and support packages. He claimed that the party had also held onto acquired benefits while it spoke of cuts and reducing debt. Additionally, Juote asked why discussions about entrepreneurship, economic growth, and warnings about right-wing policies seemed to have disappeared from the party. He wrote that Orpo's National Coalition Party no longer reflected the pragmatic interest group and system party that he had previously supported. Juote estimated that he would likely vote for a red tie-wearing socialist in the upcoming elections instead of a blue tie-wearing one for the first time. #Kokoomus #Vasemmistoliitto #Politiikka (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that many others besides traditional supporters of the Finns Party had also expressed similar views, in her opinion. She praised Riikka and the Finns Party ministers for their responsibility and ability to implement. Alanko stated that the Finns Party, according to her, did not want to serve the elite or accept unrestricted use of taxpayers' money. She criticized the Social Democrats for their talk about civil society and believed that climate actions alone did not address the challenges related to immigration or hybrid operations. Alanko described the Minister of the Interior as having acted to reform immigration policy and demanded changes to open invitations for immigration and the granting of citizenship. She also praised the Finns Party Minister of Justice for changing the line on criminal law and tightening penalties, even though, according to her, he had been criticized for populism. Alanko wrote that neither Riikka nor other members of the Finns Party should change their positions to please everyone. She believed the party would maintain its stance despite red-green criticism and pressure, describing the Finns Party as a caretaker party. #persut #poliitika #Suomi (translated)

Katleena Kortesuo reported that she had purchased an impartial report on her company's productivity from Stadin MacGyver and KiviJaska1. According to her, the consultants interviewed the entire staff of the company, which included one person, and examined his non-fiction books, articles, and podcasts he had appeared on. According to Kortesuo, the report she funded was completed this morning and described the company as efficient, productive, wonderful, and long-legged. She proposed increasing public funding for her company and implementing a national Katleena tax for the next parliament, aimed at raising 600 million euros. #tuottavuus #yritykset #konsultointi (translated)

According to him, preliminary information indicated that the doctrine would combine drone capabilities and traditional military force to stop Russia and for subsequent actions. #Nato #Venäjä #sotilasvoima #FI #RU (translated)

Juho Salo criticized Finland's pension system and wrote that if the retirement age were to be raised, it could, in his opinion, be increased all at once to 100 years. He argued that in the system, a worker could pay pension contributions for 50 years, which would correspond to 25 percent of their salary, and receive a pension only at the age of 74. Salo pointed out that, according to him, pension accrual could not be collected. Salo called the system an economic catastrophe. He calculated the total amount of pension contributions and other shares to be 33.7 billion euros: 28.2 billion for occupational pensions, 0.7 billion for employees' shares, and 4.8 billion euros for state contributions. According to him, this amount could be used to pay a monthly basic income of 656 euros in addition to current social benefits and wages without tax increases. He compared the current system to a model where the retirement age would be 50 years and the pension would be 900–1,100 euros per month. Salo believed that money available earlier could be invested by individuals. He also criticized that those born before 1964 would receive the promised pension, while later generations would be left with the bill. Salo proposed that an investment of about 800 euros per month for 25 years would accumulate 240,000 euros without returns and over a million euros with investment returns. He related his comparison to the MSCI World index for the years 2001-2026 and said that wealth would remain for inheritance if 3-4 percent was withdrawn annually. According to him, such a system could make Finnish workers millionaires by the age of 50-60 and free up jobs sooner. Additionally, Salo criticized trade unions for not organizing strikes against pension contributions, development aid, and financing immigration, in his view. He compared the pension system to economic development aid and described it as an even worse solution. #eläke #perustulo #kansantalous (translated)

This issue discusses those who help others stand and who are often forgotten when it comes to support. Caregivers lack respite, and local agents are exhausted while they are on the front lines of our actions. Mothers, for their part, pay for their maternity in income and health. Perinatal care, child protection, and sextortion remind us that the early stages of life are also the most fragile. The climate and the principle of "One Health" broaden the perspective: our health also depends on our environment and our collective choices. In the face of this, simple responses exist: a call among peers, support accessible to all, and a shared culture of safety in healthcare. #PromotionSanté #PréventionPrimordiale #SantéMentale #DéterminantsDeSanté #InégalitésSociales #AllerVers #SantéDesÉtudiants #LittératieMédiatique #MédicoSocial #PratiquesEnSanté (translated)
