True it will take long time when they flip Finland, but they have all the momentum and are on entirely different trajectories.
For 17 years here in Finland, we haven't experienced growth - that's almost a generation. Every year was better than the last, but now it's completely reversed. This stagnation kills hope. Youth see no opportunities, pensioners watch their security erode, families postpone having children. When a whole generation grows up expecting things to get worse, not better, society starts rotting from within. Yeah, living quality is still "ok" here, but for how long? Everything is deteriorating fast.
Meanwhile, look at those Eastern European slopes - At current trajectories, it's not "if" but "when."
The irony is brutal: these countries lived through socialism's failure and chose freedom, entrepreneurship, and trusting their people. Meanwhile, we're adopting the policies they escaped from - more state control, higher taxes, and bureaucratic strangling of business. I added a photo of Estonia's new coalition - this kind of talk is completely unheard of in Finland. Nobody here could say this. https://blossom.primal.net/4e463162ff3ff498326da15765138a6c8bc1dff0b3ce96b45e872f72f69c7262.jpg
