This is a question I've been asking myself.
I honestly don't know.
The country feels...stuck.
You want more wind turbines? Nimbys will block it.
You want more infrastructure and build something? Someone's gonna find some rare protected lizard where you wanna build and this will take you years!
You want to shrink the public broadcasting stations?
Well there are pensions to be paid which is the biggest share of the cost so even if you shrink it you won't save much. Personally, I'd start at digitalization and try to make processes more efficient.
Think of software, only adding features but never thinking about cleaning up or refactoring might break your framework.
In government, there was no cleanup. It grows monotonically and it feels like for every little thing ten Departments need to approve it.
Government is a good example of parkinson's law.
No one ever says they have enough people, every year when being asked for next year's resource needs they claim and use the max because having not used everything might make departments subjects to cuts...
An example: a family member worked in a company acquired by our town, so she became a public service worker. Some normal office stuff.
She has a great working attitude...basically her shit got done in half a workday and then she asked for more tasks. Instead of doing that she was told to not break the team spirit and atmosphere there...shed put everyone else in a bad light. Also, political culture needs to change. If someone is bad...and obviously does a bad job...fire them, don't give them a promotion.
This is more to appease people. Also, media culture needs to change. Media seem to fight a fight "us against the Nazis" and therefore end up supporting current politics too much.
Recently read an article that said "more than half of the 2015 surge immigrants are working! Yay!".
Turns out, it was SLIGHLTY more than 50%. After 8! years. Most women didn't work...because of culture. And out of those 50% a large part got state money to make a living. This is not a success. At first it was sold as refugees, then as workers we desperately need. But to be honest, I don't think anything will be done and nothing of significance will change.
I try to work on my skill portfolio and think about jumping ship to some other European nation. |

What country in Europe doesn't have the same issues?
