Finland isn't the only one. Poland, Baltic states remember well. Even more so than Finland. And that being said as a Finn. Their economy is just either smaller or they have a longer way to go to catch up.
Seem like people didn't care enough about their future.
You'd be surprised. There are people who are willing to do those things.
Especially if you have city planning that actually works. Instead of what the US currently has.
Don't we all. Seriously, this is going on in most industrialised countries.
This so much. The US in general has a problem of having people who are ostensibly above the law.
The police have qualified immunity. SCOTUS has no real check on their conduct. And now the president is immune from prosecution.
Internationally the US has no regard for International law. They have refused to be bound by several crucial international treaties.
Quite a lot. In no particular order and not a complete list:
Climate change, pollution, late stage capitalism, resource depletion, overpopulation, obesity, post truth, propaganda, susceptibility to propaganda, education, lack thereof, lack of critical thinking, short-sightedness, lack of beneficial public discourse, taking action on problems, vested interests funding our demise, lack of hope, no continuity, lack of trust, crab mentality, etc.
If only more people understood this. But alas decades of Israeli propaganda has convinced people otherwise.
When I read stories like this, I think about another story about a bear whose bile was extracted for industrial use. The extraction is extremely painful for the animal. They're kept harnessed to the extraction machinery. This particular bear managed to escape its harness. And the first thing it did was to kill its own cub. So that it wouldn't have to suffer anymore. This happened in China by the way.
Second that was shot down.
Third if you count the one that was bombed by drones in Belarus on an airfield.
If you are referring to Trump, it's far from a done deal.
Though some would say that the US has been a fascist state for a while.
If justice prevails he will serve time in prison. But this has never happened before so anything can happen.
Including him winning the upcoming elections, pardoning himself and everyone else.
Dude was transporting fireworks in the car. They caught on fire. For whatever reason. Doors locked automatically. As designed. The guy couldn't find the hidden release lever. And so he burned to death.
