Satellite Wars

/in /tarafından

Satellite warfare and anti-satellite weapons began to be tested.

After the USA and Russia, satellite warfare studies were initiated in China and Korea. In fact, satellite-to-ground pointing, steam injection and the most common tracking systems up to 50 cm were already known and used models. While we only use satellites for TV and internet systems, many countries in the world have already started using satellites in war efforts.

In fact, we are against and do not support war because all kinds of war mean the end of humanity. However, if the system is moving in this direction, our country should carry out studies in this field.

It is observed that Russia, which has declared that it has tested satellite warfare and anti-satellite weapons, will be a pioneer in space wars. World giants who are interested in the militarization of space after land are planning to win the war from where they sit.

The USA established its space command years ago and is currently using it. They do not have a problem explaining their exercises in space wars. It is also known that they destroyed many satellites that were already finished in the space junk just for practice.

In the chase in space in the last decade, sometimes Russian and sometimes Chinese satellites have been defeated in space wars. Sometimes, US satellites get a chance to escape at the last moment. These news are constantly on the agenda of satellite and space scientists. Although there are experts working on this subject in our country, they are not given priority.

As Turkey’s Satellite Industry Association TUYAD, we are determined about the sustainability of space. Space belongs to all humanity and cannot be monopolized. Satellite wars will put the global sharing of space at risk. This poses a risk for all countries of the world. We definitely do not approve of human beings, who cannot ensure a peaceful life on Earth, taking wars to space.

The USA, Russia and China, which carried out these studies in the first place, should give up space warfare and weapons. Satellites should be used for human communication and service, not for war. Collaborative work should be done to help protect the freedom of discovery and use of new planets.

Minimum Wage and Taxes

/in /tarafından

The minimum wage should be increased, but the taxes of industrialists and tradesmen should be reduced!

The employee’s expectation of a wage increase also concerns employers closely due to the high tax burden. Employees need to be paid a wage that will not keep them oppressed by inflation and maintain their level of welfare. However, it is essential to ease the tax burden on the minimum wage.

It is a fact that tradesmen and industrialists are experiencing economic difficulties under current market conditions. Millions of citizens working for minimum wage are waiting for the increase rate to improve in the rush to work and earn a comfortable living. The raise rate to be applied next year concerns employers as well as employees.

As an association representing the telecommunications sector, we are always in favor of spreading a happy and peaceful work environment to all employees of our country. It would be beneficial to take some precautions against price increases that make life difficult day by day. The demands of employees and the issue of increasing insufficient salaries, which the government has been expressing for a long time, are as important as reducing the tax and SSI premium burden on wages.

It is a fact that the time has come to ensure increase and prosperity. During this increase process, a certain improvement will be achieved in the salaries of employees. We also find it important that employers’ taxes are reduced at the same rate and that the applied income tax brackets are updated taking into account the announced inflation.Reducing the tax burden is very important in order for the increase rate to be applied to have a real impact on the employee. Otherwise, it is possible that there will be a decrease in the number of employed people.

EXCHANGE CRISIS

/in /tarafından

Considering both products and raw materials, our sector is mostly dependent on foreign sources. Imports are the basis of most of the products we produce and offer to the market. Therefore, the exchange rate crisis we have been experiencing recently has deeply affected our entire sector. While some of our companies have stopped their sales, some cannot even predict which product they can sell for how much or how much they can cost. Beyond the rapid depreciation of TL, the fact that the exchange rate could not stabilize, brought the market to a halt.

Our companies are expecting a fixed exchange rate that will get them out of this bottleneck. This situation of our companies, which anxiously await the fluctuations in the exchange rate, also threatens employment. Our expectation is to implement emergency precaution plans that will ensure that money markets stabilize as soon as possible. The mobility of the market is only possible if the future is predictable. The interest of our country comes before all personal interests. As an entire sector, we all look at each other and act in accordance with our state’s actions and discourses, not knowing what to do, and we will continue to do so.
