Never been a trillionaire before. Wonder what it's like?

Millions of pounds of provisions, stuffed into three-dozen 747 cargo planes, arrived here from countries around the world in recent months to service Venezuela's crippled economy.
But instead of food and medicine, the planes carried another resource that often runs scarce here: bills of Venezuela's currency, the bolivar.

This is what socialism is in real life.
Divert the flights of $100s over from Columbia.
I thought socialist utopias didn’t require money. Everyone just holds hands and sings kum bah yah with rainbows and flying unicorns powered by pixie dust.
Venezuela.... just when you thought it couldn’t get worse...

Never been a trillionaire before. Wonder what it's like?
A photo was posted of students and police clashing in San Cristobal, Venezuela within the hour.
Blogger Daniel Duquenal just returned to the country and posted yesterday that even his ‘black market man’ is unable to get him goods at this point.
They will be needing them as toilet paper soon.
I hope they are enjoying their try at socialism, the only government system that has failed every time it has been tried.
Unlike Capitalism, which has been a rousing success every where it has been tried, even thought it creates a bunch of rich meanies who won’t share with you
Yet again, Socialism Consumes Everything.
IS Inflation!
With all that inflation, they probably run out of zeros first. ;-)
Correct. But even worse, socialism doesn't produce anything!
It has to cannibalizes economies and nations to exist.
Venezuela is Bernie’s utopia.
As soon as the “Bolivar” hits one million to the dollar I’m going to get a few. I missed out on the Zimbabwe “dollars”.
I had 10 of those (1 quadrillion) but gave them away.
Everybody ask the worth and I always said 1 USD/each as that was my cost.
I just bought a five-pack for five bucks apiece. That's probably more than they were worth as currency. But they're going to look great framed.
They did run out of toilet paper didn’t they?
Unfortunately for the Venezuelans who didn’t support the communist idiots running the country toilet paper will be vastly more valuable than plane loads of worthless paper that ain’t very soft.
Toilet paper is a better store of value and even method of exchange once the currency gets too bulky.
Import TP and use it as currency is a great idea.
If Bill Gates gets his way and we all go cash less these flights would be unnecessary. Bernie could do it sitting behind a keyboard.
“I had 10 of those (1 quadrillion) but gave them away.

Wouldn’t that be a good tax deduction? Buy them by the bucket and donate them to charity at face value?
