Hah hah!
Bet they wish they hadn't killed or run off Whitey now.

The irony is so thick you can cut it with a Long Knife!
Mugabe fancies himself "a Hitler", and boasts of the comparison. His late right-hand man went by the monicker "Hitler" Hunzvi.
Looks like he's signed on for the full treatment. Maybe we should all chip in and buy him a bunker.
With the world's last remaining communist superpower well on its way to becoming the world's wealthiest and most powerful, influential nation?
Let's just say that I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the left to have an epiphany.
There are parts of the US where folks worth just a million or two can't afford a really nice house.
You ain't kidding.
Many of us with minimal property holdings will become millionaires by default with a few more years.
Of course by then, being a millionaire will be about as impressive as having a credit card.
It was one of the first things that crossed my mind when I read this.
In the building where I live a two bedroom apartment (co-op) goes for over 750,000. That's an ordinary, unrenovated 60 year-old apartment with no parking and about $1500 a month in maintenance charges on top of your 15 year mortgage payments.
But I do pray for the suffering people of Zimbabwe. Seems their situation just gets worse every day.
Post-WWI hyperinflation helped bring the Nazis to power. Billion Mark notes were a relic from the days of the Weimar Republic, not of Adolf Hitler.

Holy cow, Nashville is over $250/ft2! In Houston it's still common to find a majority of houses under $150/ft2 even if you don't travel out to the burbs.
This is like something out of a Frederick Pohl story.
At least in a Fredrik Pohl story, there eventually is someone who is willing to fight to change the system. It doesn't look like it here. (btw, Pohl is one of my favorite writers!)
But I'm sure their self-esteem is much higher now that their government officials are all black, right?
"Isn't that Democratic policy?
Hasn't it been for decades? "
It should cross your mind every time you hear a Dim screeching about oil and calling for price controls, every time they want to take from one and give to the other, every time they want to manage something (which is always).
This is the end-result of the socialist model, every single time.
The only next step is for Mugabe to muster his army to destroy all remnants of private life IF he can find a foreign nation to keep funding him and more importantly keep the army loyal. Otherwise, soon he will be shot by some generalissimo and then some other faction will start fighting for power, and Zim will further degrade into yet another hellhole where local warlords slaughter the innocent in pursuit of control.
crazy isn't it?
a truly nice house of say 5-7000 sq feet in a posh part of greater Nashville is now around 2M and up
That same home is 1995 was maybe 400-500k
I can go back to when I graduated college and thought 100K per year was rich....1980.
I knew a fellow from NYU law who got hired by Davis Polk right outta school for 120K at age 24 and then made partner at 30 in 1980 and was guaranteed 400K/year plus partner's share
He would need that now to live in that Nassau street loft today.
I had a co-op in Manhattan...1986...1500 sq feet on west 85th right next to the YWCA dorm between riverside and west end....it sold for 330K then
I picked up classifieds NYT at my docs office last week and it looked like prices have tripled at least
The nicer (River Oaks style) areas of Nashville bring in 250/foot and even more for urban space
I saw 350K for an 800 sq ft loft....nuts
Williamson county....the posh borough is very pricey too
I have seen stats that median home transfers in Greater Nashville are the highest in the South....including Miami.
But still, it's a bargain compared to Santa Monica or Westchester
