We’ve been following Zimbabwe’s increasingly dark economic and political story here on Pulse for some time now, and I’ve got to say, I didn’t think things could keep getting worse indefinitely — they have to hit bottom eventually, right?
But somehow, Mugabe’s regime keeps finding new ways to sink lower.
Take today’s news: forget about the 100 billion dollar note that the country released this summer, because now, there’s a 100 trillion dollar note in town.
Yes, you read that right: One hundred trillion dollars.
The note will be worth roughly $33 USD, and will also be accompanied by 10 trillion, 20 trillion and 50 trillion dollar bills.
What are the chances that it helps to reduce sights like these?
