Robert Mugabe is quite possibly the worst ruler in the world right now.

Inflation somewhere between 231,000,000% and 89.7*10^21%. My brain can't process that. Day to day economic transactions must be either all barter or foreign currency. There's no way that currency can be functional. By the time you put the money in your pocket it wouldn't buy anything.

The company my wife works for buys automotive glass from a subsidiary in Zimbabwe and she talks to them on a daily basis. You wouldn't BELIEVE the stories she tells about what they have to do to get product.

Once again I am VERY happy I live right here in the good ol' Great Satan.
