Like I said, if you have a sauna in your home and the time to use it, you’re rich enough that the above holds true. Whether that’s most people or a only few.

- jtakkala 4y agoDid you even read the comment above? Sauna usage in Finland has basically no correlation with socioeconomic status. Pretty much everyone has access to a sauna and the time to use one. Not only is it a tradition, but Finland goes to great lengths to prioritize the health and welfare of all its citizens, regardless of ones wealth.
- imwillofficial 4y agoThis is a ridiculous position. It was carefully explained how in the country where experiments were held, this technology is accessible to all but the most poor. This hardly qualifies as rich by any measure.
- distances 4y agoTo be clear, sauna in Finland is so universal part of the culture that it's hard to come up with a scenario where a person wouldn't have access. Every home has its own sauna or a shared apartment building sauna; office buildings often have saunas; prisons and military barracks have saunas; elderly homes, ice breakers and even remote archipelago lighthouses have saunas. Every public swimming pool has a sauna, and there are arranged sauna events for homeless people. During hospital stays you probably do not have the chance due to health and hygiene reasons. Like the parent posts already said, if you live in Finland you definitely have the means and time to use a sauna.
