#3  Wowsers,
That's worse than the days of the Weimar republic.
Can you imagine having to print currency with enough zeros to keep up with that.
I mean a 10,000,000,000,000,000 note for a loaf of bread.
Reminds me of the great market panic in the Vega sector in 435.07

#2  How the hell does someone even figure out inflation that high?

Seems to me by the time they finish the figuring, the inflation rate has gone up again.

Inflation: Mugabe's version of a revolving door ... spinning at the speed of light.
