How do people in turkey manage to live ( specifically istanbul)

My wife is a student in istanbul i came here to spend 2 or 3 months with her before going back to my country and honnest to god i have never seen an economy this bad everyday i wake up to different price transportation is up 35% rent is up 65% food is up 40% and the people seem so chill about it like what can you do ? In france we riot and go on strikes for the most absurd shit but at least our government is actually working or sorting shit out but in here people are just chilling and going about their day where they work 10+ hours shifts Please explain to me how this works cuz i truly want to love your country but it just seems that this country is being so bad to its people and only tourists manage to live here
