A pretty good deal for a jihadi with several wives and several “adult children”...

Paying layabouts to layabout always boosts employment.

Finland has become the first country in Europe to pay its unemployed citizens a basic monthly income, amounting to €560 ($587)...to cut government red tape, reduce poverty and boost employment.

'Splain to me how this works, Lucy.

A fool and his money are soon parted. And these people have struck me as nothing BUT fools, their latest proof setting up a system just begging for abuse.

Since when does giving folks “free” stuff boost employment or quell poverty? They only need to look at us since we became a welfare state to figure it out....

Why would an endless socialist gravy train “boost employment?”

“in a unique social experiment”

Whats unique about giving away money?

” which is hoped to cut government red tape, reduce poverty and boost employment.”

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Until they run out of those people who are working to pay this; wonder if they’d bothered to look at Venezuela yet?

And what could go wrong with that Liberal idea?

The unintended consequences are numerous to list.

But, hey, the idea looks wonderful — on paper.

Is that all they’re going to get? Then they’ll have to live differently - and frugally - to get buy. They won’t starve, but they won’t live a life of luxury.

Find me an unemployed Caucasian Finn that is not addicted to drugs or alcohol. May as well ask you to find me a Unicorn.

A Finn of ethnic origin outside of Scandinavia mooching for a living? That’s different...dime a dozen.

In Germany, these new immigrants have an employment rate of 3%, not unemployment rate, but an EMPLOYMENT rate of 3%...

So, if you work off the books in Finland you get $587 in beer money? Cool!

Let me guess:

Another scheme to pay “migrants” to outbreed their citizens?

This has already been done in the U.S., in Native American reservations. Tribes split the profits from casinos and natural gas sales, and other tribe businesses, to every tribe member on the reservation. Sometimes this money is enough to live off of.

The result in one tribe I have some knowledge of is that the Native kids rarely even graduate from high school. The girls start having kids in their teens, which adds to their income. It doesn't have the positive effect these socialists think it will.

They can probably assume a steady percentage of welfare cases. Might save money in the long run on beauracracy and overhead. Recent immigration problems aside, this is a controlled experiment. Glad it’s them trying it first though, and not us.

Ever since the Soviets took them over in 1939, the Finns have done bizarre things. Maybe Putin should declare their freedom again.
