Finland has ended homelessness.

And not because they’re a “crazy socialist country”.

You can do capitalism and run a profitable business in Finland.

However, the big difference is that Finland decided that ending homelessness did not need to be a profitable business.

I was born and raised on a dairy farm in northern Sweden, which is located adjacent to the border with northern Finland. I have gone over to Finland every week for as long as I can remember and like Sweden, Finland enjoys capitalism along with the benefits of socialism.

Most people think of socialism as being aligned with Russian values, but anyone who thinks that socialism is akin to communism, simply doesn't get out of the house much!

@SandWitch Finland seems like a very orderly society .

Like Sweden, Finland is a very organized society for the benefit of the people who live there. Everything makes sense and nobody does without.

@SandWitch I’m not trying to start a fight but Swedish society is breaking down like many other west euro countries . It’s so bad Sweden no longer keeps statistics on crime . I think the term “no go zone “ was coined in Sweden (or was it France ?)

Actually, you're wrong about Sweden. Sounds like western propaganda to me.

I never got to meet him. He's been dead for over 300 years!
