Good catch brian t! I didn’t see that at first.
You know, all Zimbabweans are pretty much millionaires…

Reminds me of the old Turkish lira, actually. Back in 2001 they made the shift to the new lira (YTL), which dropped the six zeroes that had resulted from major inflation– i.e. 1,000,000 TL became 1 YTL.

*shrug* I have an old bill from Germany, 500,000,000 Deutschmark (500 million). Ten million is peanuts.

Hey, give them a break. Running a completely corrupt government takes a lot of zeros these days (just look at America’s finances if you disagree).

Hey, Zimbabwe is just learning that food gets to be in short supply (= expensive) when you take all the land away from the efficient large farmers and disperse it to a myriad of inexperienced people running tiny farms. The food gets expensive first and everything else follows. Mugabe needs an economics advisor who took a class in teh subject.
