Power spokesmen have new claims.
 
They argue that all economic indicators are good!
 
Everything was fine, but only one thing was not good!
 
So it's bad!
 
And it's inflation!
 
When we heard the statement from the spokespersons of the government that “all our macroeconomic indicators except inflation are good”, we could not help but remember the famous phrase of another government spokesperson.
 
And we couldn't help saying "even if nothing happened, something must have happened".
 
Yahu, they admit that something like that is not good, and after that, none of the signs that they call good don't matter.
 
Previously, scenarios such as "let's sleep for six months and open our eyes after six months" were written.
 
It was assumed that after six months of sleep everything would be alright.
 
When they woke up six months later and opened their eyes, they realized that Russia had attacked Ukraine!
 
So war broke out!
 
When the war broke out, the dream of good days after six months of sleep was shattered!
 
Now they claim that this is why inflation has not fallen.
 
If inflation is high in an economy, let the other indicators be as good as they want!
 
The public reflection of this is always negative.
 
Surveys are conducted and the public is asked for their views on the economy.
 
It turns out that seven out of ten people are pessimistic.
 
Unless the spokespersons of the government can reduce inflation, it is not possible for this pessimism to disappear.
 
Let them not brag that all indicators are good, except inflation, for no reason.
 
We recommend that those who are happy that our exports have increased should also look at the import figures.
 
We remind you where the current account deficit came from.
 
Haven't we come to import many products that we can produce because of the wrong policies followed?
 
Even when Russia and Ukraine are at war, they sell us wheat and sunflower oil!
 
We, on the other hand, celebrate the victory(!) of being able to buy something from warring countries even when not at war with anyone.
 
As a mediator(!) country, we pride ourselves on this.
 
How can everything be said to be good under these conditions? I guess that's how those who are oppressed by inflation console themselves!
