incredible economic failure and they keep voting for it.
A couple comments on the inflation from the video.
"As someone currently living in Turkey (not Turkish), the official inflation figures are a joke. Since October I've seen the price of a bottle of Coke go from 14 lira to 27-30 lira, and since January 400g of beef mince went from low 40s to over 90 lira. These are only 2 of hundreds of examples. I'm glad I don't get paid in lira, but the poor locals are fucked. The only saving grace e is my rent is in lira, so I've seen my rent come down about 10% in real money..."
"Same man as a someone (non Turkish) living in Turkey Im blessed enough to be making a living outside of turkey but I feel extremely bad for the locals who live here it’s honestly baffling how fast and fucked up inflation is rising. I especially feel for those who just recently graduated looking for their first jobs. Not only will they start with a shit salary but they’ll most likely be contracted out without having their salaries adjusted for inflation and after years of hard work and study they’ll just end up struggling to even make rent by the end of the year. It’s truly disheartening. Like bro I was eating maxi XL menus at popeyes for 85 TL at the start of the year and now it’s at least 120 TL it’s just fucking wild to see."
