Other than rage comments of political and corporate incompetence, is there a sounder explanation of inadequate preparation and response in Türkiye? The vast majority of Turks I meet/see don’t seem to care about fully understanding their problems and putting in appropriate work. But I don’t understand why this is.
- not_a_dane 3y agoWelcome to Turkiye, that's why we shouldn't build our nuclear reactor by ourselves.
- yowayb 3y agoOh dear. I forgot about that.
- MrBuddyCasino 3y ago> But I don’t understand why this is. So the more general question is where group differences originate, and you would like to discuss this on HN. I‘ll go grab the popcorn.
- vkka 3y agoMost probably due to corruption. People have been actively protesting this mine for at least a couple of years now [1], including politicians [2].

- BurningFrog 3y agoA simple first order explanation is that Turkey is still a fairly poor country.
- tokai 3y ago17th rank on GDP. Sure its worse per capita, but Turkey is not poor compared to actual poor countries.

- BurningFrog 3y agoI mean per capita. It's the only measure that matters
- fatihpense 3y agoMy pet theory: The daily agenda is dizzying. There is also always several existential/deeper issue looming around/inside. So we can't have time to discuss small daily things, that actually affect quality of life! It has been like this for decades, maybe more than that. It is sad really. Countries also have an attention span, and we can't pick long-term important stuff over immediate stuff.
