I mostly just read economics news articles, so I've read way too many stories on Turkey lately. It's insane they reelected him. That man has pushed some economic policies that a middle schooler would be able to point out the holes in. The savings accounts that guaranteed the lira pegged to USD value? How in the fuck did he think that would be a solution. You're literally agreeing to cause massive inflation by printing/handing out free money if inflation happens. So you created more inflation, to stop inflation... Some of the most horrific logic I've ever seen.

That's a legitimate point for physical goods and services, like food or dry cleaning. Not when Sony magically created this "service" and is free to dictate the price at will, regardless of how much real value there actually is. I guarantee 90% of people who pay for online pay just so they can do that, get online. Not for the bs free game releases they do or anything else. Sony could've dropped the price and their operating costs wouldn't have changed a dime because it doesn't cost them anything to have online services. Paying twice for internet is so bullshit.
