The episode is a fast-moving snapshot of the times and a pastiche of grievances and people's destinies in 1989 Finland. The episode tells, for example, how the road and water board stole a well from a lady, after which the mining company damaged the pond in the same woman's yard so that even a duck could turn around there. The second lady was treated as delusional until a broken anesthesia needle that had been stuck for years was found inside her jaw. In Tuusniemi, the municipality built a huge stone jetty on private land without permission. With a shovel, the sewage waste from the old people's home flowed into the lake as a smelly open ditch, and this inspired the municipality's own waste hauler to drive scrap, garbage and excrement to his own illegal landfill in order to save on transport costs. The company building the power line cheated the residents of single-family houses. The old traditional farm was destroyed by excavating the road to the yard, and this destruction was ensured by the municipality of Kalanti with a threatened fine of FIM 100,000 to the farm owner if he complained about it. In the program, we wonder why the journey from Kajaani to Rovaniemi is shorter than from there. Already in the 80s, the regulations regarding signs and advertisements were already making the world a worse place for all of us - this is an example from Himanga, where the informative sign of a holiday village had to be replaced with a huge hidden advertisement painted on the wall of a barn. The entrepreneur of Bari Piristee manufactured signboards from the assembly line because they were all immediately removed by TVL. And much more.... *EDIT: THE PROGRAM HAS A DUMB POINT OF ABOUT A MINUTE DUE TO COPYRIGHT. THE POINT WILL BE SUBTITLED. Premiere: Karpo has a thing in 1989.
