Description
Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe has rendered the currency so worthless, it literally makes more sense to wipe your @$$ with their dollars than to use toilet paper.Related content

That country was racist and white-dominated in a land that was natively home to Africans.

You think that the Africans are better off now that they have control?Β

In many ways, yes. Hyperinflation today doesn't mean they were better off as the subjects of white racist overlords years ago.

They're starving, unemployed and miserable under Mugabe. They were the opposite under Smith. And don't just ask me, most Zimbabweans today would rather be ruled by Smith than by Mugabe.

I'm not so sure about that. Both Smith and Mugabe suck, for diifferent reasons.

If we allow the Federal Reserve to continue its failed economic and financial policies, this country will be next. Both the Euro and Chinese currency has already surpassed the U.S. Dollar.

That's is only half true. The Euro is worth more than the dollar, but China keeps its currency artificially weak to boost their exports, so it is a LOT weaker than the dollar. Truthfully, even if the Chinese Yuan were to float freely and be traded in a free market like the Dollar, Yen, Euro, or other currencies, it would most likely still be weaker than the Dollar.
So, no, the Yuan has not "surpassed" the dollar. China is headed for a major fall; it is slowing down and suffering from contracting manufacturing, ours is speeding up. China's economy is artificially fueled by a real estate boom that builds apartments that very few people in China can afford. Just look at their ghost cities (Google "Ordos" or "Empty China Mall").

Good to see I'm not the only one who's not buying into this "CHINA WILL RULE TEH WORLD" crap.

Did you Google those places? ("Ordos" and "Empty China Mall"?)

Yes - not to mention the High Speed Rail that just keeps on causing trouble.

So bad they actually had to get rid of their currency

Still bad, but not as bad as it was. And the same guys are still in power. Any guess if it's going to get better?

This is Africa we're talking about here. Cardboard may be the only thing you have for wiping your behind.
