  "description": "Tampere National Coalition politician Jocka Träskbäck and Sami Miettinen go through the government's spring 2026 decision on YEL, the Finnish self-employed pension: from 2028 entrepreneurs can base their contribution on actual earned income or on assessed income. Träskbäck's and Roni Arvonen's citizens' initiative gathered 50,000 signatures in two days. Both see funding YEL as the next fight. The second half is Träskbäck's political prediction that, unless the public sector is trimmed, the IMF will come to Finland. Träskbäck is a parliamentary candidate whom the host endorses in the episode.",
