Zero problems in action
Another nice example of Turkish sanity ...
Many businesses in Greece have started to accept Turkish lira and Bulgarian leva while the country has started to run out of euros, according to reports. The EU Observer and the Financial Times reported on Thursday that accepting the neighbors' currencies have been very common in Greece, especially in retail and the tourism industry.Makes sense. Greece, in its attempt to gain fake glory, tied its fate to the EU criminals. Now that the criminals are tired of using Greece, those competent dull square non-criminal neighbors suddenly look better. Legit stuff is no fun when you're high. But does Turkey want to get involved in this?
"I think the direct implications for Turkey from the 'Grexit' are limited. Trade ties with Greece are small, as are direct financial ties (except the subsidiary of one Greek bank). So as long as problems remain contained to Greece, there is unlikely to be much impact on Turkey," said William Jackson, emerging markets economist.Especially noteworthy when you look at a map. Turkey and Greece are not just neighbors, their boundaries are literally interleaved on the islands between them. How to succeed: Self-sufficiency. Be what you are. MAKE THINGS. Don't fuck around with criminals. ZERO FUCKING PROBLEMS. Turkey.
