Just because you want to move abroad and work doesn't mean you can. Countries don't just accept foreign born workers willy-nilly, even if they are highly qualified. Unless Finland is in the EU (and I don't think you are), it may be more difficult getting into Europe than you think. As for coming here, you have to have something we want that we can't get here 1st, or elsewhere dirt cheap (like India), unless you get lucky and win the green card lottery or find a hot American service woman who wants to warm up a cold Finn.

No problem. I'll bust my butt so I have something you want. Any means necessary. Say jump (not you che) and I'll just ask how high and how many times and if there are any more particular wishes for this performance. If I fail, I'll just train that harder and come back faster and stronger and better jumper.

You see this as a problem, but no problems in socialism?
Besides, I'm not cold.. I can... DANCE!

Tired of ads?

You don't have socialism, you have welfare capitalism.

BTW, don't blame your country's policies for your county's alcoholism. That's your (collective) fault for living on top of the world so you have to go without the sun for six months.

I have to go to sleep now.

But you know, you should get a dream, and then make plans how you can get your dreams you know.. and give your best shot. If that's not enough, fine, at least you tried. I don't know if I got it what it takes to make my dreams come true, but sure as hell I'll try my hardest. And if you can't respect that, or aid me on my way there, then don't. Your choice.

My bullshit detector is ringing unctrollably here. A quarter of the population is self-insured for health care.

42.3 million Americans have no health care according to the government, in statistics released just in the last weak or so. It would be higher but for programs which insure children. . . .

Ah hell, my math is bad again, isn't it? See, this is why I'm not an accountant. 1/7 not 1/4.

The solution is to make us more attractive, so the people will stay. That happens by thinkign how these people will benefit from working here. And then it comes down to why should they benefit, everyone who works should benefit. And since there is no free money around, that means cutting expenses, the question is where we cut it and where we put it.


Don't you think your country has a large way to go before allowing you to have ample opportunities enough for you to stay? You're the target audience for this pitch that they have to make.

Again, that's rhetorical bullshit. 1/7 don't have health insurance.

I have no health insurance, and gt better care and MUCH better beside mannner for doctors than most of the insured. And I do not have to pay the 30% to 60% of insured health care cost that go the to the extra paperwork, administration, and fraud that insurance brings. Most persons who do not have a third party like the goverment or and employer paying for the bulk of their health insurance cost would be fools to get it for themselves. You pay much more than private pay. The largest single reason is it take hours of clerical work to get paid by an insurance compnay rahter than minutes for private pay, and if you try to cut that cost, you get flooded by fraud.
