If you've ever thought our economy had inflation problems, good thing you don't live in Zimbabwe, where there's an inflation rate of about 355,000 percent.  They're government is so stupid, if they need to buy things, they just print up some more money, making the rate higher.

So uh...a bottle of beer cost $100 billion Zimbabwean dollars...and this was pretty funny, "The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued a ZWD 10,000,000 note in January 2008, roughly equivalent of 4 US dollars"

I agree their government is stupid as fuck. My aunt got thrown out the country for being white, she owned 15 factories and 4 huge houses which she turned into orphanages, she got all that taken off her and hundreds of orphans where thrown back onto the streets.

I wonder how that compares to their wages.  I don't see how a bottle of beer can be 100 billion. Thats $40 us dollars.

Well the beer costed that much in July...but when the new bill equivalent to $4 came out, it was January.  I'm sure the rate went even higher
