Hallitus laskee valtion tukeman asuntotuotannon korkotukilainavaltuuksia 2,25 mrd. €:sta 0,5 mrd. €:oon vuosina 2024–2027.
Leikkaus säästää valtiolta vain pari milj. €, mutta se heikentää rakentamista ja BKT:tä.
ARA-lainat on sisällytetty julkiseen velkaan 2022–. Siksi hallitus leikkaa niitä nyt.
Two of the most underappreciated reasons why #Finland and its democracy survived WW2 are IMHO
1) Social reforms from the early 1920s to address the problem below, which greatly hampered earlier independence activists, and inequality in general; and

Kirjoitin blogikirjoituksen perintöverosta ja mahdollisuuksien tasa-arvosta. Tästä näkökulmasta perintöveron poisto näyttäytyy haitallisena ratkaisuna. Aihe kytkeytyy omiin tutkimusteemoihin ja FIRE-hankkeessa puuhattaviin Tilastokeskuksen valmisaineistoihin.

Btw, näissä tehtävissä valtiolla ja kolmannella sektorilla työskentelevät on useimmiten motivoituneita SEKÄ tyytyvät pienempään palkkaan kuin muilla sektoreilla työskentelevät - hyvä pitää mielessä Suomen järjestöleikkauksissa

Tässä suomenkielinen tiivistys vasta ilmestyneestä artikkelistamme. En usein näin jyrkkää termiä käytä, mutta tämän tutkimuksen osalta sanoisin että asuinalueiden tulosegregaatio on monissa kaupungeissa radikaalisti lisääntynyt 2000-luvulla.

"The Birds here are in misery. I don't think they sing, they just screech in pain. [...] It's not that I hate it, I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgement."
Another pair of application submitted. Many thanks to my lovely spouse who took care of the kids and let me work. No thanks goes to the Academy of Finland and TIAS for deciding that 8th of Jan is a good DL. It is not. It is horrible. Please change this. I will give you feedback anywhere I can.
