Living standard of people is bad because the Lira is weak therefore resulting inflation and Politics. But thanks for your honest empathy.You are spending billions on developing weapons and buying drilling ships, etc, when the living standard of your people is poor. That's what I am trying to explain.
R&D is never a waste of money, those drilling ships were pretty cheap but feeding millions of unwanted people is, sending billions of foreign aid every year is a waste of money, may i ask why those two examples?
