Why do people even work anymore?

[Anonymous]

Here in Turkey, most people work $20 per day only. And with this amount of money, you can even barely eat. Pathetic. We live in a strange world. Normally $20 should be the pay per one hour.

Better Internet, larger TV, cellphone all around are cheaper then dirt compared to when they first came out.

These are better and better stuff every year and it's cheaper getting the newer stuff and holding on to it till it breaks and get the newest again. Safer too with hacking scares.

Ultimately dosen't change you need a roof over your head but that's not getting better like cool fun stuff. It's not like $400 usd is making or breaking your roof situation but $400 is a phone that connects you to the world like it's doing right now as we talk together.

20$ hour? 😄 we earn $7 hour. as a turkish lady wrote in April here, monthly rent is less than half your month salary in turky. therefore in turkey money you are earning good. the number is not important. the power to buy is the way to measure as above you have strong money.

[strateguy632]

your chicken price is like $0.44 each pound. so you can afford less salary.

[strateguy632]

that is 1/8 of the price here @Iron_Man

[strateguy632]

therefore 20$ day is like 160$. three times more than we earn 7x8=$56 each day.

[Iron_Man]

Yes…

Another example of why turkey is a shit nation.

[Asker]

Hmm you are a rich girl. I loved you.

[Agape93]

Good for you?

[Abbycado]

$20 a day. F that. I make more than that with tips and it’s a part time summer job. XD

[Asker]

Yes good for me. I am glad you exist.

[Agape93]

Don't get used to it.

[Asker]

Mmm be my girlfriend pls. Not because of your money, but your heart baby.

[Agape93]

Ew no.

[Asker]

Don't worry. I am pretty a Western european blonde guy, knowing that you hate muslim shits and i am also atheist.

[Agape93]

Yeah I believe none of that

[Asker]

I am same as you and that's a good thing

[Agape93]

We aren't the same. We aren't even in the same ballpark

[Agape93]

We share no physical features race, religion, ethnicity, politics etc.

[Asker]

You know nothing about me. You just have prejudice about me because you don't like Turks.

[Anonymous]

I work in the summer and a little during school.

[andreasderjuengere]

... because not working will give you... ZERO TL.
Which equals zero dollors.
If you want more: qualify.
I am in Turkey right now, and yes: your number is low.
Anyhow: I don't see people starving on the streets.

[Asker]

Why do you think they don't starve in the streets? Coz most people live in shitty houses with their families or parents together.

Most people need to work to afford to eat ans buy the necessities of life. If I could have kept th3 covid scam going forever I never would have gone back to workm

[Iron_Man]

I’m sorry to hear that. That’s horrible. That sounds like Cuba but they’re even worse

[strateguy632]

that is just exchanged rate! the turkish money buys turky items that are cheaper there than here.

[KostasKouvalis]

You gotta eat and pay bills
