Every1 is after it.... Invented by man.... regarded as the root cause of all evil today... ( i second with Floyd)You having too much of it does nt mean anything.... for example...
In Zimbabwe, even the low income workers are billionaires. Good news? Not quite.
The inflation rate in Zimbabwe is now about 4 million percent, according to Yahoo!News. This is the highest inflation rate in the world.
What does a 4 million percent inflation rate mean in practical terms?
The threshold milk price reached $4.37 per gallon due to the rising costs of diesel used in the trucks that transport milk to grocery stores. The threshold price is the maximum price retailers are allowed to charge and is based on the price the Federal government pays the farmers for milk.
Now compare the United States milk cost with the milk cost in Zimbabwe. While Americans complain about milk costing over $4 per gallon, a mere pint of milk in Zimbabwe costs 3 billion Zimbabwe dollars, according to Yahoo!News, or 24 billion dollars per gallon. While 3 billion Zimbabwe dollars are only worth about 30 cents in United States dollars, imagine having to carry 3 billion dollars to the store to buy that pint of milk.
Customers walking into a store in Zimbabwe to buy the equivalent of $100 United States dollars in groceries would need to carry along nearly a trillion dollars to pay for those groceries. Does that mean that a Zimbabwean out to buy a television, a computer, or a car needs to go in search of a wheelbarrow first- to carry the necessary cash?
Phew!!! AND 'Zimbawe' borders with SA where it costs 6 Rands per gallon....
