I remember my vacations to Finland in the 2010s. You'd drive 45 minutes on a gravel backroad, but you'd have LTE coverage and unlimited volume with some 20ish Euro prepaid card from a shop at the ferry dock. That was absolutely weird as a German to me back then and it still would feel unusual now.
This country has been clinging to the, I don't know, 90s when things were remembered as somewhat okay and now there's about 30% of the people trying to steer it back to the 1930s instead of forward. We're fucked and on the best road to a has-been.
