So nice to read this! It's a pity that ideals like these are things from the past, completely gone in our western, capitalist culture. Words like those now mostly invoke feelings of cynicism and snarks about socialism or communism.
- galonk 10y agoFinland is a western, capitalist culture. Most western, capitalist countries have more compassionate cultures than the United States.
- Maarten88 10y agoDo you think that, if this program had not been invented yet, that it could be introduced now, by the current government, in Finland? I'm from the Netherlands (supposedly more compassionate), and we have something like this box. Only the program is run by a marketing data company that wants to sell your data, and box is filled with low value goodies and commercial offerings. The Finnish box is much nicer, as it seems offered with the right intensions and the content is really helpful.
