from 1923 in Weimar Republic Germany:


Inflation 1923–24: a woman feeds her tiled stove with money. At the time, burning money was less expensive than buying firewood.

No, I guess we're not in that bad a situation after all.

Less than zero?

Ironically I believe this is called a non-zero-sum situation since the interacting parties' aggregate gains and losses are less than zero. (Zero sum situations balance out.)

Yea, I've been joking that my 401(k) has become a 201(k)... great job W!

half its value every day?

Zimbabwe is completely broken, and I don't see any way it can be fixed any time soon.

I don't actually believe there is such a place as Hell, but if there is, there should be a special place reserved there for Robert Mugabe. (Most of his countrymen subjects are already there.)
