Finland’s new PM, a 34yo socialist who’s never had a job outside of politics, is to introduce 6hr working days and a four day week. I can’t wait to see how this pans out for her.

According to World Happiness Report, Finland was ranked as the happiest country in the world because of their unique way of life. Denmark came in 2nd, owing to their short working weekends and work life balance. Well, what do you think? We’d say it definitely has pros and cons!
