Hallituksen tärkeä työryhmä on valittu – Tässä nimet Hallitus päätti helmikuun lopussa, että hallituspuolueiden edustajista koostuva työryhmä ryhtyy valmistelemaan uusia työllisyys- ja kasvutoimia huhtikuun kehysriiheen.

On se jännä, että taas uusi kasvu- ja työllisyystyöryhmä piti hallituksen perustaa. Selvästikin hallitusohjelmat sadat kasvutoimet ja puoliväliriihen valtavat veronkevennykset suurituloisille ja elinkeinoelämälle epäonnistuivat täysin - ja alijäämät vain kasvoivat.

Uusi kritiikkiaalto: Onko valtiovarainministeriö epäonnistunut tehtävässään? | Politiikkaradio Valtiovarainministeriöstä väläytetään jo että maaseudun teitä ei ole varaa pitää asfaltilla. Arviot verokertymistä ovat romahtaneet miljardeilla. Politiikkaradio pureutuu kahden entisen työministerin ...

Hyvä että kritiikkiä VM:lle käsitellään edes jossain, tosin Satonen ei siihen kyennyt - mutta kertoi miten tyhminä kokoomus ihmisiä pitää: Työttömyys ja talouslama ei kuullemma johdu hallituksesta vaan maailmantilanteesta, mutta viennin vetäminen on hallituksen ansiota 😅

Konkurssiaalto pyyhkii Suomen yli kiihtyvällä tahdilla. Ei ole talouspolitiikka onnistunut tälläkään mittarilla.

Good job calming the markets. The problems is not only oil and LNG but especially urea. See midway this article: www.nakedcapitalism.com/2026/03/iran...

Agree. But the problem is that the journals themselves may use AI/LLMs for their "own" material, ostensibly gated to a local data set. But who knows.

Folks, the use of AI to write reviews is a clear violation of peer review ethics + it endangers the authors' intellectual property rights. Don't do it.

Apparently Trump has said the Ramadan War is over. It appears that this is not the case though, Israel is still bombing Iran, Iran is still bombing American and Israeli assets. And I read that Pakistan may enter the war (in some way) due to a defense pact with Saoudi-Arabia.

The illegal US/Israel war against Iran is very complicated. Lots of risk of miscalculations (e.g. by Azerbaijan).

Edwin sort of talks about Finland. The sand batteries are still piloting I think, and the Baltic sea doesn't have much tidal energy, but otherwise the boxes are ticked.

Mr. Leikkaaja eli budjettipäällikkö sanoo, että maaseudun teitä ei ole varaa pitää asfaltilla Nykyinen hallitus on jo sopeutuspäätöksensä tehnyt. Seuraava ei selviä juustohöylällä vaan valtion rooli on mietittävä kokonaan uusiksi, sanoo Mika Niemelä.

"Koko hyvinvointivaltion palvelulupaus pitää miettiä uusiksi" <- Luulen että tämän suorempaan kansalaisille ei tulla kertomaan että näkyvissä on luopuminen pohjoismaisesta hyvinvointivaltiosta, ja siirtyminen toisenlaiseen yhteiskuntamalliin. Itselleni kuitenkin herää kysymys, onko aivan pakko?

This is a joke, but we could ask Russia to join the EU or NATO. As far as I am aware, there have been no wars between EU members (NATO probably came close a few times regarding Greece and Turkey).

But yes, you're right.

Probably not, but this green wall is against invasion by Russia. I am not convinced they will only try with a regular army. But this certainly will help - wasn't it Latvia or Estonia where recently a US tank sank in the swamp during a training?

It is not for nothing some part of the commentariat calls Bibi's Zionists a Death Cult. They will sacrifice the world economy for a chance to blow up Iran.

Right... And all for a conflict with no defined purpose, and no end goal, waged by leaders who apparently have no domestic guardrails and almost no limits as to what methods they will use.

Minor quibble: does not help against drones or ballistic missiles though. Otherwise excellent.

Military strategy scholars have a lot to chew on for the coming decades: if the point is to destroy rather than conquer a country, like USA and Israel try, then what's the point of an army (as in infantry etc). Cannon fodder is not going to stop drones and ballistic missiles.

‘Israel tells us to flee its war on Hezbollah — but where do we go?’ IDF evacuation orders have squeezed an estimated 300,000 civilians into a shrinking safe zone in Lebanon. People we meet feel like the fighting never stopped

I was in the area a few years ago. The request from Israel appears to be unrealistic and possibly illegal. The Lebanese deserve better than this.

Given that Mark Carney just stood up & gave a world-famous speech lamenting how 🇺🇸 is destroying the liberal international order, it is actually incredibly shocking that he doesn't even mention the UN Charter, 🇮🇷's territorial sovereignty, the JCPOA, the UNSC, or any other aspects of that order.
