This is where our hopelessness stems." This really stung, you can see from the tight grip in her fingers the kind of anxiety she's dealing with. All of this on top of Covid, and on top one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history that happen just under a year ago. Resilience is one thing, this is on a whole other level.

Brazil in te 80s had a so deep inflation that the prices at the market were changed 3 or 4 times a day. When you got your salary paid you had to rush to the market and buy everything you could because if you didn't do this you would not have enough money for the month. Tough times.

[@Nood4159]

Weaksauce. I'm from former Yugoslavia and we had third worst hyperinflation in the known history. Literally when you got your salary you had to go and spend it all, usually you could only afford few loaves of bread and few liters of milk and you would freeze that so you would have something to eat trough the month. At the peak in 1994 hyperinflation reached 313 million percent per month. That means having a billion at the beginning of the month and not spending it would mean at the end of the month it would be less valuable than cheapest toilet paper.

Update: High deficiency of petrol leads to cars being parked at stations overnight to fill up the next morning, if petrol is available, with a quota, and no gas tanks allowed to keep as a spare for later. Now 1$ averages to 15000 lira. Update: 1$~19400 lira Due to shortage of petrol, electricity is being cut at specific times during the day throughout the country averaging to 4-6 hours daily and in some places even more. This is not the the government supplied power, which has never supplied enough in the first place, but rather generator supplied power owned by private 'companies'. Due to electricity cuts, it is bound to lead to water shortage because there's no power to pump it to homes. A shawarma today averages at 18000 lira. It used to be 3000.
