I wonder if we are living in a big joke or a gigantic parody? Because what we have experienced in recent years is too striking, shocking and mind-blowing. We are under a shower of blatantly irrational propositions, dreams that are disconnected from reality, and fabricated truths, and we stand idle with hands tied. Things that are too ridiculous to be true, funny or even tragicomic have become our reality.
We are subjected to some experimental fantasies, some strange practices, because someone wants it that way, just because it is the way it is, or because it thinks itself that way. Even if we are bitten not once, twice, maybe fifteen or twenty times, but through the same way, we cannot be ruled with an unbelievable stubbornness and persistence!
Let's say, 20 years ago, we couldn't even imagine that what we're going through could be true. However, our one-on-one experiences are much crazier, much more exaggerated and ridiculous.
The manifestation of the jargon of the stallholder marketer in the street market in the style of "Give authority, see the effect" in the field of economy is based on denying all the facts of economics and proving the most ridiculous antitheses. And we, as a whole country, are in a position no different from guinea pigs in the experiments to prove these wacky theories.
It is probably part of the joke we live to focus the economy management, that is, the money in people's pockets, to maintain their lives, to focus on funny/tragicomic theories, and not to accept even the slightest responsibility for the failures, rather than the failures that followed.
The fact that the exchange rate, which is considered a sign of crisis in Turkey, has doubled in the period of 2014-2018, and has already increased more than twice in the period of 2018-2021, that is, the purchasing power of TL and our national currency is gradually falling into stamps, and the gap between the claim and the point reached is a big bad one. Doesn't that mean it's a joke?
Our biggest paper money, 200 lira, was 131 dollars in 2009 when it was launched, but today it is only 20 dollars! Where did 111 dollars go? Is this to manage the economy, increase the income of the people? Isn't it in the square where the national money that melts like a candle melts the purchasing power of the people? While the greatest impoverishment in the history of the Republic is being experienced and millions of people are waiting for this to be accounted for, a logical explanation to be given to them and a solution proposal, people should open gardens, that is, large parks, as if they were joking, and to brag about it as if it was just about having fun even though we had it all done. Being exposed to the situation can't be real anyway. It's a big joke anyway!
It can only be a cold joke to blame the terrible price increases in the bazaar on the warehouse, marketer, marketer, and to say nonsense such as their lobbies. In any serious country, politicians cannot appear before the public with such strange and illogical propositions.
Of course, while all this was going on, the most dishonorable media that history has ever seen, whose only concern is to fawn over the political power and to block the minds of the masses with the fabricated facts that it dictates, instead of talking about the dollar that hits 10 liras, the great and social impoverishment, they talk about nonsense and try to distract the public with the facts they have made up.
While the problems that have turned into a huge avalanche from snowballs make life unlivable for millions of people, the youth of this country cannot even dream of the future, even the simplest hope, it is no different from a joke that the most authoritative person thinks that everything is perfect and there is no problem.
The fact that the masses still maintain a primitiveness beyond partisanship with nonsense such as "Europe is over, we have everything, take out your phone" is a sham on this bad joke.
Even the fact that the expression “The dollar will be 10 liras, it will be 15 liras”, which the former minister in charge of the economy humorously uttered a few years ago, officially reflects the truth, let alone the joke, is like an interweaving of jokes and reality.
Expressions such as "We are writing the book of the economy" are almost the pinnacle of the joke.
