Anyone from Finland still having major problems?



Government says some folks here drink too much. It's pretty much dark and cold atm, so that has caused higher suicide rates then other EU countries on average. Public healthcare and social services work somewhat ok, so basic needs are taken care of, but usually people needing those do have major problems. The usual employment issues for the youth are concerning ppl that are thinking about the future of our nation, so some major problems might come later. Oh oh and the sanctions against the Russia are also causing some worries, because we export a lot there and that might over time cause major problems to people working in industry depending strongly on that. Swedes always beat us in sports and that also could be considered a major problem. Also we have low self esteem, but that could also be blamed on the swedes for beating us, luckily we have been doing ok in ice hockey world championships (if only there was "pesäpallo" world championship, then we would at least be second behind Sweden). Our national Pisa scores have been dropping as the asians are getting in front of us, specially in maths, so people responsible of the schooling system are having major problems figuring out how to fix that. And what else now that this came up quite unexpectedly? Any eta on a fix?If you were referring on the connection / ping issue, I think you will get more feedback once folks are back from work / school / woken up.Thank you for your deep and caring thoughts about our problems!Edit: I'm doing just fine btw...
