Though I see your point about giving workplaces to the people, I beg to differ. All corporations is by Finnish law supposed to provide health care, since healthy, happy citizens can do more for their society than sick ones. And come to that, there are people who aren't able to to work, and not necessarily by their own choice, and should they be shunned? I think not. To be able to work (and that requires of course a work place) is vital, but if you have no social net to catch you if you fall, it's too abrupt. To feel like you have your society at your back, to feel like your neighbors will catch you in case you fail, can make all the difference.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
