Animal of the week|Ruutana spends the cold season unemployed and broke.
The summary is made by artificial intelligence and checked by a human.
Vantaa’s economic situation is like a piece of rust gurgling at the bottom of a pond, city manager Pekka Timonen said recently.
Ruutana lives in dire conditions and spends the winters idle and lazy, notes journalist Niko Kettune in his column.
Other Ruutanas may do better if they get to better waters.
Ruutana is a persistent survivor and adaptable.
Vantaa the economic situation is “like rust gurgling at the bottom of a pond”, compared mayor Pekka Timonen in his recent budget presentation.
I guess the idea is that the city’s economy is frozen like the home pond of a rut. A stream of activity would be needed so that Vantaa could once again swim around like a salmon in the throes of development. The city’s coat of arms also features salmon, a valuable fish. Rutna, on the other hand, is an economically insignificant sint.
Even though the economic situation resembles a rutana, Timonen said that Vantaa is not a rutana.
To fish the comparison is a bit risky if you think about the deepest essence of the box.
Of the fish in our country, the pond wrasse is without a doubt the unluckiest. No other fish can live in such a harsh environment. Unless it’s unemployed and alcoholic.
Ruutana literally spends all winters lying in a dark trap, idle, with over a thousand pounds. Ruutana has no future prospects, and its only hope is to get out, to better waters.
Ruutana’s tenacity and ability to bite the bullet when life is crumbling is absolutely amazing. It can really survive in the mud of a pond frozen to the bottom without oxygen for the whole winter. For those who consider their spirits as iron, they start making home-made smokes. Ruutana lives on sugar stored in its liver, which its body converts into alcohol.
This generates enough energy to keep the iron alive. At the same time, its blood is constantly in gross drunk driving readings, up to 1.2 per thousand. Alcohol as a spray is also spread around.
Other Ruutanas win life in the lottery and are born elsewhere than in a bed of bugs. The lake rutana is already a significantly healthier looking fish, and under really good conditions, the rutana can develop into a downright bronze-glowing success.
Even a lamprey can achieve happiness if it gets into better waters. All Ruutanas are therefore one and the same species, but their habitat strongly shapes them.
Above all, rutana is an exceptionally tenacious survivor and a highly adaptable fish. In that sense, of course, it is suitable as a symbol for any city.
