30 million dollars...
We hear the following sentence from the owner's mouth:
“I didn't need the money, it was in the trunk of my car.”
This sentence in itself summarizes the regime.
I have never seen 3 million dollars together, let alone 30 million dollars. Millions of people in this country have not. But for some people, 30 million dollars is so ordinary that it can be put in the trunk and forgotten.
Then he came out “the economy is recovering”, “inflation is falling”, “citizens are exaggerating” It's called.
I saw poverty not on the screens, but in the mountains of Manavgat. When I was working on a project, I couldn't make out the color of the dress on a woman from a mountain village; the original was lost in the patches. That woman's greatest happiness was to stop when she saw me on the road, get into my truck and be driven back to her village.
This is the real economy in this country.
But there is another Turkey.
A Turkey in Florya, in luxury estates, where millions are carried in trunks.
The Minister of Finance is going after the neighborhood shopkeeper. He scrutinizes the receipts of small businesses. Tax audits, fines, seizures...
But luggage worth 30 million dollars doesn't register on the system's radar.
So capacity is not the issue.
It's about willpower.
The problem in this country is no longer just poverty; it is the selective operation of the law.
For one, it's a lens,
and the other is the curtain.
The illegitimate order is living its golden age.
The legitimate citizen prays for a wedding invitation; he has no money to wear gold.
If the scales of justice are out of balance, so is the economy.
Because the market survives on trust and the state survives on law.
Today, the mentality that can keep 30 million dollars in the trunk and the person who clings to life with a patched dress live in the same country but do not experience the same justice.
And it's not about money.
The issue is that the threshold of shame has been lost in the face of this picture.
