I didn't even think 2.2 million % inflation was possible. Actually I
didn't think you could increase much of anything by 2.2 million % or 1
million % or whatever. As a matter of fact I was under the naive
impression that inflation was sort of more or less the same all over
the world. The value of the dollar might change, but I didn't
attribute this to inflation necessarily, just swings in the economy.
Guess it's a good thing I didn't become an economist! So this means in
Zimbabwe you have to earn a million times more to afford what you could
a year or so ago? Like the article says, a loaf of bread costs the
same as 60 cars did a few years ago. Wow.
