US incentivizes people to have children with the Earned Income Credit, which is a tax break per child that often means you get more money back than you paid in Federal Income Taxes.

@erkkiboy The US has vastly more adult education and training options than Finland, even when you just go down to a State-by-State analysis with Finland. Community college courses are very cheap.

@JH-fk8ow College entrance should be difficult. It's one thing Finland gets right, then promotes misrepresentation of the facts about, saying everyone can go to university for free. No service or product is free. The US gets it wrong by allowing illiterates into community colleges and major universities, who then get worthless degrees to them, but pay tens of thousands of dollars for wasting time, inflated by government Pell Grants. The US needs more emphasis on interdisciplinary skill sets, decoupling from public K-12, advanced skills hands-on programs, followed by apprenticeship. The college industry is inflated 14,000%, so universities make a killing in the market, producing abject ignoramuses who don't even know basics that used to be taught in elementary school (which did a mediocre job at-best of teaching any skills besides conformity). Finland is a very conformity-based society, alarmingly-so. We need less unquestioning conformity moving forward. The past 2.75 years are a screaming example of that.

@mwh35 Sure they do. Those professors don’t work for free, nor do the authors of any books. Everyone pays in Finland, while only a few can attend.

@terriej123 Somalis are taking advantage of the Finnish system in droves. Abdul moves in with his wife, his first cousins, and has kids with them all. They were having discussions about changing Finnish law so you can marry your first cousin. They get on welfare immediately and milk the social safety net system, without working. Abdul can hop like a bumblebee from one apartment to the next, cranking out Somalis like a machine. Itäkeskus is now called pieni Mogadishu.
