Zimbabwe still hasn’t hit rock bottom.

What's their inflation rate up to now? 13,000%? A hamburger costs about a billion of whatever they call their dollars.

Actually, it’s at 213 MILLION percent. Their currency is defacto gone.

What I want to know is how the 1/4 of people above the poverty line are managing to do that.

Actually a Hamburger costs roughly 50 billion dollars. I bought a 100 billion dollar bill for 4 dollars. Makes for a nice novelty item.
