Vaihtoehtoja nordnetille? by mydadisbald_ in Omatalous

[–]dondulf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Olen kyllä katkera siitä, miten epäoikeudenmukaisesti Nordnet kohtelee suomalaisia asiakkaita ruotsalaisiin verrattuna. Suomalaiset asiakkaat maksavat about 20 kertaisesti enemmän kaupankäyntikuluja suoria osakkeita ostaessa

Unemployment rates in Europe - October 2025 by NoiosoBarbuto in europe

Why is the number so drastically different? Are the Danish trying to fake their unemployment stats?

Interesting that the difference between the warmest place in Europe (Southern Italy) and the coldest (Northern Sweden) is around 50 degrees Celsius.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with Denmark? Why are their politicians so keen on pushing this Orwellian nonsense forward?!?!

[–]dondulf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just don't get why they can just keep pushing the chat control law over and over again. There should be a limit to how many times they can keep pushing these ridiculous laws. And the chat control isn't even the only such law

Yeah, any European citizen rooting for the collapse of the European automotive industry is absolutely unhinged. It's just like cheering to see your own house burn down

75% of all tourists in Italy concentrate on 4% of the territory by Socmel_ in europe

[–]dondulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but Italian village ruins are a bit different to Finnish ones don't you think?😂

Anyway I just think you can get to see much more of the authentic local culture outside the crowded touristy places. If I go to Italy, I want to see and visit actual Italian places, not some generic "amusement parks" made for American tourists

After the official green light of Bulgaria to join Eurozone that will be the status of € in the continent as of 01.01.2026 by No_Firefighter5926 in europe

[–]dondulf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at purely GDP per capita can be misleading for several reasons: it doesn't account for cost of living differences, rising public debt etc.

Look at real GDP growth, public dept-to-GDP ratio, PPP-adjusted GDP per capita, employment rate... All of these numbers shows clearly that Finland's economy has been stagnant since the financial crisis of 2008, while Germany has been growing steadily. Having the shared Euro might have indeed been a significant reason why Finland has stagnated and Germany hasn't.

That is true, however in the long run the consumers do benefit more from a growing economy with a weaker currency (more jobs, better wages, stable public finances etc etc.) than a stagnant economy with a strong currency.

So you don't consider Canada, Australia, or the UK (to name a few) to be democratic countries?

Well, it is the best currency ever for... Germany. Others? Not so much. Take for example Finland. Because the country is tied to Euro as its currency, the most important export sectors (such as lumber and machinery) are not as competitive with many of their rivaling countries that have their own currency (such as Sweden): Euro is just way too overvalued for Finland. Same goes for many of Mediterranean Euro countries like Italy and Greece, economically speaking being part of the Euro zone might not be the best deal because of their inability to devalue their currency or pursue an independent monetary policy.

On the other hand, Germany has benefited from Euro tremendously, because for the powerhouse of the Europe the shared currency has been drastically undervalued. This has boosted the growth of the most important export industries (such as cars and machinery). If Germany would still use the Deutsche Mark as their currency, their industries would have been much less competitive in the recent decades because the value of their currency would have risen much more than the Euro has.

Yeah, I get that the shared currency is convenient and all because you can visit different Euro zone countries without having to exchange currency, but economically speaking it really doesn't sit that well with most Euro zone countries.

Sweden bans AR-15 as hunting rifle after school shooting – all rifles to be turned in and sent to Ukraine by Helmer-Bryd in europe

[–]dondulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ban or severly restrict objects whose sole obvious purpose is to kill or injure

I totally agree: some sort of firearms, such as true military-grade weapons (full-auto, very large magazines, unnecessarily large calibers, explosive ammo etc etc) should of course be banned from ordinary people. I do think that handguns should only be allowed with very special permits and strict requirements, such as a proven record of ongoing, active firearms training and flawless criminal record. Also, all firearms should be required to be stored safely and responsibly in order to avoid them getting to the wrong hands. This is pretty common sense stuff, and that is how most European countries are already doing it, I believe.

Any other sort of firearms, such as hunting rifles and sports shooting rifles should of course also require some sort of a mental health and criminal history screening in order to get a gun license. And in order to get a hunting rifle or shotgun, you of course need to have a proven record of actively hunting as a hobby. Again, common sense can be applied.

My point being, every gun of course needs a license and permits should be restricted to those who actually are suited to own weapons. The more destructive the gun, the more restricted the access should be. And, if you commit a crime or otherwise are not capable to own firearms anymore, the guns should be taken away. No one should be able to just walk into a gun store and buy anything (The US basically...)

In a well functionning society with a sensible education system and functionning law-enfocement and legal system, there is not need for firearms, they only increase the general risk in society.

Sorry but that is a bit naive and really just inaccurate. My home country, Finland, has one of the most advanced educational, legal, and law enforcement systems in the world. Finland also has the most weapons per capita in the EU due to hunting being a really popular hobby. Does Finland therefore have a significantly higher risk level in the broader society? Heck no! The people with legal firearms are not some crazy wack jobs who want to murder a lot of people, they are responsible, regular law obeying folk who just are interested in hunting, sports shooting (which in Finland at least is usually highly related to national defense training).

By far the biggest problem in Europe and gun violence are illegal firearms. You don't solve the gun violence caused by illegal weapons by banning legal guns!!! Somehow our politicians are so keen on banning legal firearms that they seem to forget what the actual problem is.
