>>16676655>one thing i have to say is that these internet cafes have gotten really expensiveif you google lira to usd apparently the value of the lira went down from 0.85 usd in 2008 to 0.05 usd in 2022, i dont remember enough about economics to know how much this relates though because this is the value of lira to usd and not every business needs to pay for things in usd but then again that conversion rate is probably indicative of currency's relative value even if you don't need to transfer currencies from one to the other but still that wouldn't necessarily explain the decrease because maybe since 2008 the lira's value was roughly the same or went down a little but the dollar went up a lot, lira to usd doesn't tell you exactly what happened on its own because it's a ratio of two values so the ratio can decrease and the difference between the two can increase but in practice there's probably a meaningful difference between a value reducing and another increasing, i mean yea relative to each other when one happens the other "happens" but how well does that ratio represent whats "really" happening, are ratios between neighboring countries' currencies more relevant, etc idk and yea there's also stuff about purchasing power and inflation and whatever, i just googled "lira purchasing power"
https://www.in2013dollars.com/turkey/inflation apparently ₺100 in 1956 in turkey is worth ₺1,781,485,054.27 in 2022 lol basically in 65 years the value of lira has gone down 1,781,484,954% which sounds crazy but i'm pretty sure something similar happened with the us dollar too so idk if it's a global thing, oh also something interesting about the lira is the chart doesnt look horrible until the 90s so i wonder if there's something that happened in turkey or around turkey in the 90s that caused inflation to rise so sharply, WAIT i just realized that's gotta be related to the fall of the ussr somehow, idk exactly how but somehow, yea just googled and the ussr was dissolved in1992 CL
