It Could Be Worse....................


Inflation in Zimbabwe has become so extreme that reserve bank officials will soon be forced to introduce an entirely new currency. Even at today’s rates, one greenback will fetch you an amazing 1 million Zimbabwean dollars.
Those few Zimbabweans who actually have money to hoard can rarely do so. According to an allAfrica.com article, most banks run out of notes by 10 a.m. each day.
The wait in line for passport applications for Zimbabweans trying to leave that country is often more than 24 hours long.
