Iran tries to hand out free stuff to curb the pain of massive inflation, offering it's citizens each $7?

[Votto]

Can Iran's plan for a $7 monthly cash handout calm the streets?

Tehran’s plan to distribute cash handouts to nearly the entire population appears aimed at calming protests driven by relentless price increases. Whether it will work remains an open question.

Tehran’s plan to distribute cash handouts to nearly the entire population appears aimed at calming protests driven by relentless price increases. Whether it will work remains an open question.

Officials say the payments are meant to offset the elimination of a subsidized exchange rate previously used to import essential goods, a policy shift that has already pushed prices higher.

Under the plan, the government would issue monthly coupons worth one million tomans—about $7 at the open-market rate—to every Iranian.

Some economists have questioned whether the measure can achieve its stated aim.

In an editorial published on January 5, the daily Setareh Sobh described the policy as an “economic gamble,” warning that similar efforts in the past had failed to stabilize prices or restore public confidence.

The same can be asked in the US. Will Mamdani's "free things" help quell the pain of inflation, inflation that has all been caused by the United States government? Just the notion of handing out only $7 dollars drives home the plight of these people probably are literally starving to death.

Very sad, but is the US headed down the same road as giving free things away can only increase inflation.

LOL....If they can be bought for $7.00 the dems will try making Iran a state.

Iranian Reals are absolutely worthless.

It takes 100,000 to equal $0.01.

It's that ridiculous.

And today they are even more isolated than yesterday. Meaning their currency is even lower than before.

That's what turning off the internet and killing 12,000 protesters gets you.

Nobody wants to touch Iran today with or for anything.

Did they consult with Bernie Sanders?

Let’s see now.

You’re concerned about human rights in Iran, while supporting a genocide in Gaza.

Hypocrite much?

I do not believe that any genocide occurred in Gaza. Palestinians are just another arm of a political football of Iran's they use to keep things destabilized. Besides....the Palestinians started a war they couldn't really fight. And their ethnicities are highly suspect.

But I'm more than willing to admit I own some hypocrisy....do you?

Plus I've been to Israel....rode the busses with the soldiers. Talked with the people....ALL the people.

Your antisemitism is noted. And it demonstrates your susceptibility for bad propaganda. Because in truth that's all antisemitism is....propaganda. Most all people in the Middle East actually like Israelis. They build hospitals, libraries and universities when their government won't or can't.
Muslims just start fights. That's it....they don't even add much culture except for burka, beards, and oppression.

So you tell me. How's your hypocrisy doing?

The Iranian government can print the money to hand out, Mamdani can't.
He can only steal, borrow or tax to hand out "free" things.

Iran has been broken from all the tariffs. This outlines it.

Excellent!

Their national deficit is 6 billion dollars. We're 38 trillion.

Their GDP is $400 billion. Ours is $29 trillion.

That, naw, you can do the math.

Yes, I did the math.
Their economy sucks.

If Israel has murdered 680,000 Gazans do you still support it?

I still don't believe it....especially considering the source.

There is a no genocide on Gaza.

You are just mentally ill.

LOL. I wonder how many people can be bought for $7.

 

[gipper]

I still don't believe it....especially considering the source.

If…if…if Israel has murdered 680,000 Palestinians do you still support it? Simple yes or no.

What is it about the source that you consider not credible?

 

[gipper]

There is a no genocide on Gaza.

You are just mentally ill.

Lol. Yeah destroying the entire Gaza Strip (a tiny strip of land with the highest population density in the world) that before you began your genocide contained over 2 million people (you call them subhuman), couldn’t possibly cause 680,000 deaths.

Only a Zionist traitor can be so dumb.

 

[JohnDB]

What is it about the source that you consider not credible?

Because it's a political opinion....its not reality.
I've met many IDF soldiers personally both active and former who did their 2 years of compulsory service or were doing it.

They are just young kids finding their way in an adult world.

They went on many raids in Palestinian territories....
And when they went through the door and met the occupants they knew instantly how the rest of the search was going to go.

These arent ideologues....just kids learning to stop being teenagers. The IDF have many Palestinian friends and acquaintances....they did stuff together like getting into trouble, going to school, and having parties.

Then October 7th happened.....
They know precisely who did this.

The number "680,000" Palestinians killed is a flat out lie. It's a manufactured lie to incite anger and fury when you cant even begin to win a baseless war.

Those IDF kids are not going to kill their friends just because of heritage. They arent going to pull the trigger. The IDF has intimate knowledge of every inch of Palestinian territory and every person in there. Kids know propaganda when they hear it....why dont you?

Currently today, Iran has murdered over 12,000 people who were just hungry and angry at losing all their money to hyperinflation....
Palestinians are ghostly quiet.....

That tells you all you really should know....

But wait there's more....

Since Iran has gone internet blackout....

Many other government destabilizing groups also went radio silent....ones on college campuses and other "grass root" organizations. Ones in Scotland, UK, USA, Australia, as well as Lebanon and Syria....
