So, I've done some math. Round here eggs cost roughly 10c a piece. So, for 30c US, you could have purchased 100bil zimbab.
If, now, 200k zimbab (lol) is worth .10c US.. that means that those three eggs which purchased you 100bil zimbab back in the day could only get you 60mil zimbab today.
A phenomenal ROI. 99bil, 940mil zimbabs. Converted to USian....you missed an opportunity to become fantastically wealthy with a mere 30 cents and three eggs.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

Actually it'd be a -fair- amount more than that. Those were 30million dollar eggs, give or take a few $.

Not sure hyperinflation will be such a humorous topic in this country at some point.
Hopefully I will have passed on before the inevitable federal debt implosion.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"at some point" he says. Tell me again how a peice of plastic worth .01c in material and .02c in labor costs 10 bucks at point of sale?

You may very well have.......pretty sure that there are places in arizona beneath our rising sea level. It just takes an investor with a -loooooong- eye.

We only have the government to blame on spending billions of dollars on stupid shit like you know over funding the
fucking military. Then buying stupid shit like tanks, jeeps, planes, etc. Congress is really to blame for spending.
What we do is balance out the military budget instead of shoveling money into a fire. Start working on the bloated
military by cutting it down. Find out where the most money is spent in the military and even it out. Start selling
our abundance of jeeps, tanks, planes from that revenue start working on paying off our debt and that would be a great start.
All in all you would have to balance out more than the military you would have to find out where the government is spending
money on frivolous things and start cutting and balancing. Truth is we cannot afford to keep raising the debt ceiling any longer
we had that debt since WW2 and it's about time we start paying that money back.
