Avustajabisnes ja sen aiheuttaman hullunmyllyn nostattamia mietteitä

Pohjoismaissa kansalaisten hyvinvointipalvelut muodostavat suuren osan maiden kansantulosta. Aikaisemmin palveluiden järjestäminen oli täysin julkisen sektorin vastuulla. Palveluiden tuotto oli valvottua ja työntekijöillä oli minimivaatimukset osaamisen ja kielitaidon suhteen. Perinteisesti julkisen sektorin järjestämiä palveluita ei ole pidetty varsinaisena liiketoimintana, sillä siinähän vain ”kierrätetään kansalaisten maksamia veroja”. Yritykset toitottavat suureen ääneen oman toimintansa tuottaman lisäarvon hyödystä yhteiskunnalle,…

Life without Limits

In the Thrive-movie David Icke talks about the greatest prison of people: the fear what other people think (1:18:10 on video timeline). People have been brought up to become guards for each other. Those, who step too far from the norm and conventional rules are forced through wordless agreement back into the old rut again….

Power of Money

When I begun to write this blog I thought that I won’t write anything concerning political issues. World politics, agony of people and questionable policies of decision-makers have made me so frustrated and distressed in past decades that I would like to exclude that all from my life. I cannot help things a bit by…

Everything is Perfect

Shift of Socio-Economic Power Last week I watched in Youtube a video, in which an economist talks about the shift of the socio-economic power in the world. Until the year 2000 we have lived in a world where 1/6 of the world’s population, one billion people have had 80% of the world’s income.Five billion people…
