I believe some sectors should be entirely state-run, with the private sector having a very small share. These are health and safety. Human life and health should have material value. The state should shoulder all costs and take precautions. Isn't that what the state is for?
According to Kela monitoring, private doctor prices rose more than twice as fast as inflation in the first half of 2024, when the government increased Kela reimbursements. Inflation was 3.3 per cent at the time; however, private doctor services became eight percent more expensive.
In times of volatile inflation, opportunists emerge. Inflation in Türkiye is around 50%, yet goods, food, and labor costs are increasing by nearly 100%. Some believe the government is manipulating inflation data to understate it. But the rate of increase is still unacceptable. For example, last year I paid $5 for my phone bill, but this year I have to pay $10. Isn't there something wrong here?
The state is there to help make a small group of people in the world wealthier.
It is getting out of hand. We supposedly have all the data - but we can't trust any of what comes out of it.
