Turkish businesswoman Canan Çelebioğlu:
We entered India and became the largest ground handling company there.
I was obsessed with India — I called it my second country.
Last year, around May 15th, the Indian government shut us down.
They seized all our equipment, transferred 10,000 employees to another company in a single day — and wiped out a value we had built of perhaps $400–500 million.
Gone in one day.
Put the financial loss aside. That place was built stitch by stitch.
We spent years pushing the government to change policies, to develop the sector.
And I loved India. That's what made it so shocking. It truly devastated us.
Akkuyu Nükleer Güç Santralimizin birinci ünitesinde, devreye alma takviminin en önemli aşamalarından birini daha başarıyla tamamladık.
Yıl sonuna kadar santralden ilk elektrik üretimini gerçekleştirerek Türkiye’nin nükleer enerjide yeni bir döneme geçmesini hedefliyoruz.
Sıfır emisyonlu, kesintisiz ve çevre dostu nükleer enerjiyi, ülkemizin enerji sepetindeki en güçlü kaynaklardan biri haline getireceğiz.
Bu güçlü vizyonla yalnızca Akkuyu ile kalmayarak Sinop ve Trakya’da planladığımız yeni santrallerin yanı sıra küçük modüler reaktörleri de üretim portföyümüze ekleyeceğiz.
2050 yılına kadar nükleer kapasitemizi 20.000 megavata ulaştırarak enerjide tam bağımsız Türkiye hedefine kararlılıkla yürüyeceğiz.
@aBayraktar1 Nükleer ağırlıklı enerji sistem Türkiye'nin ekonomik ve teknolojik geleceği için çok önemlidir. Fransa'nın sanayi sektörü Ingiltere ve Almanya'da gibi gerilemiyorsa, nükleer enerjinin sayesinde.
Türkiye regresa a una Copa del Mundo de fútbol tras 24 años y una caravana espectacular despidió a la selección nacional. Entre banderas, cánticos y bengalas, el autobús del equipo avanzó escoltado por una multitud que convirtió el recorrido en una auténtica fiesta.
Turkey's astonishing fertility collapse
Turkey's president Erdoğan made it his mission to revive birthrates. Instead, Turkish fertility has fallen faster than almost anywhere on Earth to just 1.42 in 2025 (just 1.2 outside of Kurdistan).
What happened, and what can we learn? 🧵.
In 2013, Nassim Taleb gave a 53-min Stanford masterclass on why chaos makes some businesses stronger.
His ideas:
- The coffee cup that survives 4 million hits
- Why helicopter engineers ride their own machines
- The country where nobody knows the president
12 lessons on risk:
From the @FT:
" Foreign central banks have slashed their holdings of Treasuries at the New York Federal Reserve to the lowest level since 2012, as countries sell the US government bonds to prop up their economies and currencies in the wake of the Iran war.
The value of Treasuries held in custody at the New York Fed by official institutions — a group that is largely made up of central banks but also includes governments and international institutions — has dropped by $82bn since February 25 to $2.7tn, according to Fed data."
