  1. Fixed the glitch!

    Props to the chief for apparently having the guts to tell the truth:

    > Dincer seemed to sense his impending fate.

    > “I sit in this office now. Tomorrow it will be someone else,” he said in an interview with the business newspaper Dunya earlier this month.

    > “Never mind who is the chairman. Can you imagine that hundreds of my colleagues could stomach or remain quiet about publishing an inflation rate very different from what they had established?”

    > “I have a responsibility to 84 million people,” he added.

  2. 36% percent inflation in a single year! The situation in Turkey is far worse than I thought. Can such a situation even be sustained? How long can people live with such uncertainty about their situation?

  3. At this rate there’s a real chance Turkey’s population stops using the turkish lira and start using either €, $ or cryptos as their currency.

    The moment that happens, turning back is almost imposible and would make the Turkish gov’ almost a skeleton gov’ and without doubt permanently hurt Turkey in the long run.
