Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

โ€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.โ€

Normality bias - โ€˜the tendency to underestimate the likelihood or impact of a potential hazard, based on the belief that things will continue as they have in the pastโ€™ - is a very hard habit to break.

The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US? | George Monbiot So much of our intelligence and military systems are shared or reliant on the US โ€“ if it becomes the enemy, it is already inside the gates, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Having massive apprehensions about the amount of American military bases in the U.K. Read this yesterday and it got me thinking. After the press conference just now I wonder what the U.K. security services are thinking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This makes me feel sick. This is inhumane. We are so lucky in the U.K. Itโ€™s not perfect but itโ€™s 100 times better than that!

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.

Well, in 2025, itโ€™s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.

Theyโ€™ll soon realise that they canโ€™t and will look to find other ways to silence those who donโ€™t toe the line.

Thatโ€™s a nazi salute - he knows it and so does everyone else. Now itโ€™s up to the media to square it with their conscience as to whether they let him away with it or not.

Itโ€™s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

When climate refugees are from affluent communities, and not pacific islands, maybe then we will take action. Maybe?

Maybe at some point theyโ€™ll get it. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

They havenโ€™t yet realised that no amount of money, bunkers or private workforce can stop the damage weโ€™ve done.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame.

You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way.

If this isnโ€™t oligarchy, I donโ€™t know what is.

Yep. Booking the wrong room on the wrong day and realising it was non refundable. Or booking to few nights and adding one on later so miss out on a multi discount ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Weโ€™ve got to stop calling those with different beliefs โ€˜stupidโ€™. Itโ€™s not helping & makes people defensive/double down on their opinions rather than be able to have a conversation. Letโ€™s figure out why people support things that go against their own best interests & happily consume lies over fact.

If you can't choose not to buy it, Power, Water, Healthcare, Housing.

It shouldn't be legal to sell it for profit.

I rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ, My hippie son, was born on Christmas Day
So all his foolish followers could throw their cash away.
O acquirings of smartphones and toys, smartphones and toys,
O acquirings of smartphones and toys.

This is a common sense idea. There is a reasonable amount of empty properties across the U.K. that could be lived in which would ease some of the pressure to keep building.
