In fact, there is nothing new or unknown in economic practices, but the managers presented some of their decisions as a new model unique to us. If it is a new practice that 200-300 percent hikes are made by the state, not the private sector, it would be in favor of our nation to abolish such a practice as soon as possible. If the conversion of foreign currencies into Turkish lira and the introduction of gold under the pillow are presented as a new practice, it should be known that there is nothing new in this either. Because if the state meets with price hikes in all products without any limits in return for the return from the dollar to the Turkish lira and for the gold under the pillow to be brought into the economy, then millennials will only benefit from this practice, only those who have dollars and gold in their hands, and beyond that, those who have millions in the banks, and the money to be transferred to their pockets will be narrow. and it will be collected from fixed incomes.
Because if the electricity bill of 109 liras last month increased to 335 liras this month in a flash, and if there will be an increase in the future gas bill similar to the electricity bill, it should be known that the minimum wage and those who receive pensions below the minimum wage are either not taken seriously by those who make these hikes. It doesn't mean it's not worth thinking about. A retiree with an increase of 220 lira in a month in his electricity bill lives in a 60 square meter house. If only two light bulbs are on, it's nothing but to say woe to those who live in a 3 plus house.
Of course, the states will also protect the rich, but shouldn't they be the ones with a low and fixed income, which they have to protect first? If there are only two segments left in a society, consisting of the poor and the poor and the rich who do not know how to account for their money, and the sections that constitute the middle pillar of the society, which is defined as the middle class, are getting poorer, wouldn't it be strange for those in government in that country to say that they govern the country well? Because the duty of the state should primarily be to save the lives of those with low and fixed incomes from being unbearable. Otherwise, if he cannot provide the necessary medicine to his child, the state does not step in, and aid campaigns are organized on television to buy the medicine in question, we as a nation have to put our heads in our hands and think deeply.
Because the state has to save its citizens from being on the street and meet the health services they need. Otherwise, if people are on television screens and aid campaigns are organized in order to buy the necessary medicine for their child, it is imperative that the economic model being applied in that country be reviewed, regardless of its name. In addition, it seems that a significant part of the society will be unable to pay for electricity and natural gas in the coming months. Will aid campaigns be organized for these people then?
Although millions of unemployed are consoled with the hope that they can find a job one day, it does not seem possible for a young person who has found a job with minimum wage to rent a house to get married, and beyond that, to be able to afford the salary he receives until the end of the month. In this regard, in the days when the minimum wage was announced with big advertisements, one of our newspapers drew attention to the problem under the heading "Come and try to make a living with this minimum wage", but it is not possible to say that this warning had an effect. Because those who announce the new minimum wage with big advertisements do not have to live on the minimum wage. For them, the happiness of a limited number of happy few is more important than the situation of those with low and fixed incomes. Otherwise, there are still those who receive pensions below the minimum wage declared by the state, and if those who are in positions of responsibility continue to claim that the lowest pension to be increased to 2,500 liras, as if it were a great blessing, it is meaningless for the poor to expect much from this administration.
