Terrible situation. Clever response by the supermarket. I’ve never seen that much Heinz Ketchup in one place in my life.

Venezuela is slashing six zeros from its currency where 100 million bolivars today is about US$25 and inflation last year at around 3000%
Staggering numbers.

Unbelievable numbers. Imagine handing over 50,000,000 bolivars for a pizza. And another 5,000,000 for the delivery guy’s tip.

Give it 20 years and we may not have to imagine.
I bought a coffee machine last week, just under 40,000 pesos. I had the money in hundreds only because that's what my guy sent me. So, to pay for that coffee machine I had to hand over nearly 400 bills.
It would have taken 2 in the UK, and one in the U.S., with some change. While we scratch our heads at the obviously terrible state of things in Venezuela, the path is being laid towards the same outcome in the country we live in.

Many in parliament are now asking for larger bills to be printed, such as 5000 and 10,000 peso notes, but the government is against the idea.
Of course it is, because as far as they are concerned, there is no devaluation, no inflation, no poverty and very little crime.
