Törmäsin tänään sattumalta @TereSammallahti ja vaihdettiin pari sanaa. Me ollaan otettu täällä melko kovaa yhteen viime päivinä, jossa molemmat on käyttäneet melko "terävää kynää", jos näin voi sanoa. Mutta kuten Terellekin sanoin (jotakuinkin näin), haluan pitää asiat asioina ja erottaa ihmiset niistä. Pelkästään se, että olemme tavanneet lihatilassa, vaikuttaa ainakin omalta osalta siihen, miten näen hänet jatkossa. Tästä eteenpäin juttelen tekstimassan sijaan elävän ihmisen kanssa. Se ei tarkoita, että meidän pitäisi olla asioista samaa mieltä. Ne saa jatkaa riitelyä edelleen. Me eletään poliittisen ilmapiirin ja keskustelun osalta äärimmäisen herkkää aikaa. Panokset on selvästi isoja, sen aistii ja haistaa. Tosi moni kansalainen on valmis ottamaan osaa keskusteluun ja ei hyväksy kädenlämpöisiä selityksiä. Samaan aikaan esimerkiksi tiukan talouskurin ja järkevän maahnmuuttopolitiikan kokoomusedustajat ovat varmaan itsekin vähän hukassa, että mitä tässä pitäisi ajatella ja tehdä (tämä on omaa tulkintaani tilanteesta, ei yhdenkään edustajan sanomaa). Kaikenlaista voi vielä sattua ja ylilyöntejäkin tulla, mutta toivoisin ja ainakin itse taas kiinnitän huomiota siihen, että pyrin olemaan: 1. Rehellinen (myös älyllisesti) itselleni ja muille 2. Kunnioittava, vaikka asiat riitelisi kuinka 3. Johdonmukainen ja puolustamaan oikeana pitämiäni asioita 4. Utelias ja valmis kuuntelemaan ja tarvittaessa muuttamaan mieltäni, jos argumentointi voittaa omani X toki palkitsee kärjistämistä ja rankaisee nyansseista. Se on osa alustan luonnetta, eikä sille voi paljon mitään, mutta sen voi tiedostaa, jolloin on helpompi olla lankeamatta niihin täysin. #keskustelu #politiikka #yhteiskunta

Where the Money Goes When the Problem Grows The worst evil is identifying a problem—addiction, illness, hatred—then building an industry to “solve” it. Organizations grow, the problem worsens. Many call this wasted money. Some argue for more funding or stricter oversight. After decades of the same results, a reasonable person should ask whether it’s failure—or the system working as designed. Call it the Caretaker’s Incentive. Three conditions keep problems managed forever: status (praise for “tending” the afflicted), money (budgets rise with the problem and shrink when it improves), and conscience (moral framing shields caretakers from questioning their role). Economist Bruce Yandle described a parallel in “Bootleggers and Baptists.” In Prohibition, moral reformers and profitable bootleggers backed the same policy for different reasons, with virtue providing cover. Today, reformers and funded interests may be the same institution, making corruption harder to spot. When the mission is caring for the elderly, it’s easy to hide fraud behind compassion. Costs spread across millions, benefits concentrate among insiders. No one loses enough to unite against it; insiders gain enough to defend it. The people being paid are awake. The people paying are asleep. C.S. Lewis warned in 1948 that torment for “our own good” can continue endlessly because conscience approves. Corruption is dressed as virtue—and those who object are shamed.
