How TL’s Depreciation Is Killing People Indirectly

become impoverished; It is not just about buying a sub-model of the phone model you want, going to Batumi instead of Paris, getting on a Fiat instead of a Volvo.

We need to take off our blinders and see the bleeding wound of society in all its reality. Because D-LU-YO-RUZ!

For example, the consequences of not getting the car we want are not negligible.

Of course, there is ostentation among the reasons for buying a better quality car, but this reason is a no-brainer among other reasons. It also means that I buy a better car. It means that I don’t feel safe in traffic.

Since we have to buy the cars that got 1 star in the crash tests, we die or get crippled in traffic accidents. Moreover, there is not only the crash test factor, in modern vehicles all kinds of security measures but we are deprived of them. The roads are full of tin cars that should be banned from traffic.

When we look at the number of deaths in traffic accidents in Turkey and European countries, you can see that we are at the top. 4866 people in a year!

Apart from the accidents, the emission emission problem should not be ignored. a scientific research, It was revealed that thousands of people were saved from dying thanks to the policies implemented to reduce emissions. According to TUIK data, the average age of 25.2 million vehicles in our country 14.5 years. In Denmark it is 8.5 years.

More harmful gas emissions, means more deaths. According to the data of 2021, the number of premature deaths due to air pollution caused by “Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5)”, which the World Health Organization has declared as a carcinogen in our three big cities, is as follows:

• Number of premature deaths in Istanbul: 8895
• Number of premature deaths in Ankara: 3157
• Number of premature deaths in Izmir: 2458⁠

If PM2.5 concentrations were “in accordance with the World Health Organization limit values”, the number of premature deaths attributable to PM2.5 pollution would be reduced, which would be estimated every year in Turkey. 26,000 lives could have been saved.

If we look at the successive hikes and the non-discussion of the SCT reduction plan to electric cars Our transition will not be easy. Keep breathing lots of polluted air…

It doesn’t matter what disease it is, it is much more difficult to reach health treatments now.

When the money needed for babies with SMA was just collected, due to the depreciation of TL the gap reopens and people are helpless. Unfortunately, there are families who could not stand this pain and committed suicide. This is why babies can’t hold on to life.

Medicines for certain diseases, such as cancer, are also quite expensive. Trying to fight different diseases Think of thousands of people. who knows who could not hold on to life because they could not take medicine.

Not just people Animals are also affected by this condition. It may be necessary to buy tens of thousands of pounds of medicine for a cat with Fip, but unfortunately these are not the amounts that a single person can afford.

Moreover, it does not have to be a serious and unexpected disease. More because of the price of food animals fed unhealthy food In the long run, they may become more prone to certain diseases.

Many crimes such as theft, fraud and bribery have become more common.

For example, is there anyone among us who has not been scammed? And if these crimes become normalized day by day, they can spread even more. Türkiye is the 1st in Europe in organized crime.It ranks 3rd among West Asian countries and 12th among all world countries. There is also the unorganized side of it, you think.

We started to hear such news more frequently due to the depreciation of the TL, taxes and inflation.

Those who lost their lives due to fake alcohol, diseases triggered by illegal tobacco, buses burned due to companies using illegal fuel, badly used buildings and more… These examples go on forever. Everything is expensive, but human life is cheap!

Of course, all this means nervousness and stress. We are in a massive depression.

When we say landlord and tenant, worker and boss, husband and wife, there is a relationship between people because of economic reasons. intolerance knee length. All of this adds up to a mountain of case files.

Stress brings with it sleep and nutrition problems. Speaking of nutrition; The quality of food in the markets has decreased compared to previous years. While the product of the same brand has much healthier content in Europe, it has an unhealthy content in Turkey. This causes various diseases such as obesity, cancer, heart problems.

The number of examples that can be given is too many. You can spot some of them, but some are hard to spot as they are our new normal; We are in the middle of a situation like a frog in boiling water.
