zimbabwe just printed a $100 billion dollar note

And that won’t even buy a loaf of bread. See the story here, on the BBC web site.

I don’t write about Zimbabwe much, although I do follow it with much interest. Just after the fake re-vote at the end of June, Mugabe went to visit the other African countries’ leaders. He said to them, “I haven’t done any worse than other African leaders have done”. All I could think of was perhaps a follow up statement like “Well … at least I’m not as bad as Idi Amin.”

Joking aside, however, he pretty much has done what other African leaders have done, terrible as it is.
