It's very interesting to see how fast censure can bite...
Today I was reading an article on YLE that was reflecting the impression I had "on the street" about immigration ,employement and unemployment.
Finland is asking for more foreigners to come, some have been here many years, speak finnish and yet can't find job. According to this article (which has been censured in the meantime), it says that the unemployment of foreigners is about 3 time higher then the average .
They took an example of an immigrant whose name sound foreign which has a degree in information technology and still the only work that he had found is in cleaning...
Why I talk about it today, it's not because of what the article is saying, as it's, i think, known to everybody except to the politicians (that do nothing about it) but instead it's about the fact that YLE has removed the article.
Were they under pressure? political pressure...well Censorship bites is even a greater sign of problem...hide the problem and it will become 10 fold worse...
Free press?, you wonder...
Are we going to witness an historical housing price correction amid sharpest rise in unemployment and social tension?...and the minimum you should know in order to protect yourself from this downturn from an economic, stock market and political point of view... with a pinch of humor and sarcasm.
