Mika Merano announced that he will be a candidate for the Finns Party in the upcoming spring parliamentary elections in the Uusimaa electoral district. He named his main themes as fighting corruption, reforming the use of tax funds, and strengthening the status of the Finnish language and Finnish culture. Merano opposed, among other things, the dual roles of politicians in organizations, political appointments, and directing tax funds to the close circles of politicians. He demanded public impact reports on taxpayer-funded projects and believed that tax funds should benefit Finnish taxpayers. He also opposed development aid, projects that he described as ideological, and unprofitable EU funding requests. In language policy, Merano opposed mandatory Swedish and multiculturalism, which he viewed as narrowing Finnish traditions. He supported a unilingual Finland, conducting business in one's native language, and preserving Finnish cultural heritage. He also suggested that cuts affecting citizens should be made only as a last resort. Merano asked people to spread the word about his candidacy, to join his campaign team, or to support his campaign. He stated that donations would go to the Mika Merano Support Association and would be used entirely for the campaign. According to him, donations could be made via MobilePay to the number 47188 or to the association's account FI19 8146 9710 4278 49. He mentioned that the names of donors contributing at least 1,500 euros would be public. The campaign manager, according to Merano, is marketing professional and Kouvola city councilor Suvi Karell, who coordinates the campaign work. #Suomi #Eduskuntavaalit #Perussuomalaiset (translated)

The Daily Bureaucrat listed statements where various individuals and organizations had, in his opinion, doubted the success of new inventions. He mentioned that the Michigan Savings Bank estimated in 1903 that the horse would persist and the car would be merely a fashion phenomenon for the wealthy. According to Thomas Watson, in 1943 there might have been a market for computers globally for perhaps five devices, and he said that Ken Olson stated in 1977 that nobody would need a computer in their home. He said that Steve Ballmer expressed doubt in 2007 that the iPhone would gain significant market share. Paul Krugman noted that the economic impact of the internet in 1998 would have hardly been greater than that of fax machines. He reported that Bill Gates predicted in 2004 that email spam would be resolved within two years, and that Marty Cooper assessed in 1981 that mobile phones would not completely replace landlines. The list also included Lord Kelvin’s claim in 1895 about the impossibility of heavier-than-air airplanes, Darryl F. Zanuck’s 1946 assessment of the short-lived nature of television, and Erasmus Wilson's prediction in 1878 about electric lights going out after the Paris World’s Fair. William Preece, according to The Daily Bureaucrat, said in 1876 that the telephone was not needed because there were enough messengers. He recounted that Lee De Forest deemed moon travel impossible in 1957 and that Dionysius Lardner predicted in 1830 that fast travel would lead to passengers choking. He said Thomas Edison rejected the use of alternating current in 1889. Finally, The Daily Bureaucrat asked what was now being said about the new Tesla Roadster. #teknologia #innovaatiot #historia (translated)

Topi Salin wrote that the headline about flying cars represented, in his opinion, Europe's economic suicide and the innovative power of the United States. He criticized the fact that the news highlighted legality and safety, and wondered whether readers would be primarily more interested in the technological novelty itself. Salin sarcastically predicted that Finnish social democrats and academic bourgeoisie opposing Elon Musk would jointly develop such a comprehensive regulatory framework that flying cars would not be seen in Finnish airspace for decades. #Eurooppa #innovaatio #sääntely (translated)

Aleksis Kallio wrote that he found Elon’s actions incomprehensible. According to him, it made him reflect on what is being done in Europe. In Kallio’s opinion, Europe was still stuck in the 20th century, and no one had thought about moving forward. #ElonMusk #Eurooppa #innovaatio (translated)

Pekka mentioned that he started the live broadcast of the Roadster unveiling early in the morning before reading the news. He described the presentation as the most impressive product presentation he had ever seen and wrote that Tesla's stock was up about 4 percent. He speculated that the increase might be due to potential cash flows from the Roadster in the future. Pekka wondered what Elon Musk could achieve if he could create a car that drives upside down, jumps, and flies. He believed that the technical capabilities of Tesla and SpaceX were unparalleled and thought that the companies could not be valued using traditional methods. He stated that he owned shares in both companies and was at least satisfied with the presentation. Pekka added that he was not a fan of Tesla or Elon Musk and tried to approach investing neutrally and unemotionally, as it was currently his livelihood. #pekka #sijoittaminen #Tesla #innovaatiot (translated)

The day's bureaucrat wrote that nowadays there is a car, which he described as driving itself, talking, flying, and having a turbo boost function. He added that he would not have believed he would see such a future in the 1980s. https://t.co/04EzGR8K3F #tulevaisuus #teknologia #innovaatiot (translated)

Mika Treuthardt described the person as exceptionally impressive and assessed that they might be the most productive and innovative person in world history. He wrote that the person should not get involved in politics or warfare, even though innovations might draw them into it in different ways. #politiikka #innovaatiot #historia (translated)

Jukka Lepikkö wrote that according to Bloomberg, Anthropic's annualized revenue for Q3 was $67 billion and free cash flow was positive. According to him, the gross margin for the inference business was 85 percent and the margin after research and development (R&D) and other expenses was 40 percent. Bloomberg had reported an adjusted operating profit margin of 11 percent, according to him. https://t.co/hX4wHm6iJq #talous #liikevaihto #innovaatiot (translated)

Katariina Souri wrote that the price of food had risen by 25.1 percent since August 2021, while the rise in other consumer prices was around 18.1 percent according to her. She referred to a news article from Helsingin Sanomat and an estimate from researchers at the Natural Resources Institute Finland, which indicated that the necessity of food reduced the pressure on stores to lower prices. Souri noted that HS had not addressed the concentration of trade as a reason. According to Souri, the combined market share of the S-group and Kesko in the retail grocery sector was 82.5 percent, with the S-group controlling nearly half of the grocery market. She wrote that Finnish trade was the most concentrated in Europe and that the S and K groups were among the ten most profitable trading entities in the world. According to her, the combined operating profit of the S-group and SOK Corporation had grown from 280 million euros in 2021 to 495 million euros in 2025. In the first half of the current year, the profit had improved by 20 percent compared to the previous year. Souri claimed that the price received by primary producers and the profit development of the S-group had not progressed in the same proportion. According to her, a farmer or rancher was left with approximately 4–12 cents from a normal food euro, depending on the product, while most of the share went to the trade and the tax authorities. She considered the agricultural subsidies to effectively flow significantly into the profits and growth of the S-group and criticized the influence of the chains on zoning and legislation. Souri assessed that the duopoly in trade weakened the position of small businesses and free competition and restricted innovations and consumer choices. She wrote that politicians had failed to intervene in the situation. Additionally, she reported that Pellervo Economic Research had predicted at the end of September that food prices would rise in the following year as well. #ruoka #hintanousu #kauppa (translated)

Sensofusion listautuu! Kyseessä erittäin mielenkiintoinen kotimainen puolustusteknologiayhtiö innovatiivisimmasta päästä. Suosittelen tutustumaan, olen itse käynyt yhtiön tuotantotiloissa vierailulla ja pidin kovasti näkemästäni. 🇫🇮 Yhtiön valuaatioon en ole tutustunut, enkä ota siihen kantaa. Ei kaupallista yhteistyötä, ei sijoitussuositus. #pekka #puolustusteknologia #Suomi #innovaatio

Turun toritapahtumassa oli puhuttu rumia suomalaisille kansanedustajille. Kuinka usein näet nämä samat vihervassarit tuomitsemassa näitä puheita? - ei koskaan Kannattaa vain kestää kun välillä tulee itsellekin. Ei se niin voi mennä, että vain oikeistoa haukutaan julkisesti ala-arvoisin sanankääntein ja käsketään painua vittuun, leikata pää, tunkea innovaatiot perseeseen, kapitalismille kuolema ja mitä näitä onkin... #Suomi #Politiikka #Keskustelu

Älyllistä epärehellisyyttä. Nykyinen talous ei voi kasvaa ikuisesti, mutta alati muuttuva talous voi. Jos edelleen eläisimme kivikauden menetelmin, olisimme jo hakanneet kaikki puut polttopuiksi, kaikki luolat olisivat olleet täynnä jo tuhat vuottaa ja olisimme tukehtuneet nokeen 500 vuotta sitten. Tällä hetkellä talouden arvosta yhä suurempi on palvelut, jopa sellaisia joista kivikaudella ei olisi ollut mitään hyötyä. https://t.co/NAs4O7mEZ6 #talous #kestävyys #innovaatio

Suomi ei kärsi ideoiden pulasta. Se kärsii virkamiehistä, joille kieltäminen on ainoa taito. Pekka rakensi kätevän pienmetsäkoneen. Myi 110 kappaletta ulkomaille. Ruotsissa ja Virossa sama kone on ok. Suomessa se ilmestyi viranomaisten varoituslistalle. Kyse ei ole turvallisuudesta. Kyse on kateudesta, liiallisesta sääntelystä ja virkamiehistä, jotka eivät osaa kuin torpedoida innovatiiviset ideat. Suomessa pieni yrittäjä pysäytetään paperilla. Naapurissa kone kyllä kelpaa. Ehkä siksi Ruotsi on Suomea rikkaampi eikä Viro ole jäänyt paperiin kiinni. #innovaatio #yrittäjyys #sääntely

Orpo hymyilee kamerolle ja vakuuttaa, ettei sähkön hinta nouse. Sama teatteri, sama vale, sama kansa joka uskoo. Datakeskus ei tuo hyvinvointia. Se tuo pari vuotta rakennustyömaata, sen jälkeen muutaman huoltomiehen ja valtavan sähkösyöpön, joka syö suomalaisten sähkön. Yle myöntää tänään: hinta nousee. Orpon oma selvitys sanoi saman viime vuonna. Nyt se kielletään naama peruslukemilla. Kun sähköstä tulee niukkaa ja kallista, se ei ole markkina. Se on työkalu. Kuka saa lämpöä. Kuka ei. Kuka saa ladata. Kuka ei. Tyrannia, ei kasvu. Ja se data, jota nämä hallit nielevät, ei ole innovaatiota. Se on valvontaa. Kiinan malli: kaikki jäljitettävissä, kaikki pisteytettävissä, kaikki hallittavissa. Suomi rakentaa sen itse, hymyillen, ja kutsuu sitä investoinniksi. Suomalaiset aikuiset uskovat tähän yhä uudestaan kuin lapset. Päättäjät ja media ovat pettäneet lupauksillaan jo tuhansia kertoja. Silti sama usko. Sama “kyllä ne tietää”. Siksi Suomi on Euroopan pohjalla ja silti yllättyy joka kerta, kun lasku tulee. #sähkönhinta #Suomi #valehtelu
