#1 I can hardly wait for next week's installment to see how this happy story ends for Bob.
His people OTOH do not deserve any of this crap.

#2 Seeking to revive farm production, for example, the government sells gasoline to farmers at a deep discount of 330 Zimbabwe dollars, or about $1.27, per liter and farmers promptly resell it on the black market for 10 times as much, leaving their fields idle.

Damn! Bob know about that?

#3 Aliter and a quart are close enough in size to equals compare, so the LOW price of $1.27 equals $5.08 a gallon,(discount? like hell it's a "discount")

#4 To continue, I doubt that anyone in Zimbabwe could afford $50 buck a gallon gas, I think the "Reselling" is a fiction.

#5 I for one would NEVER farm there, the Govt has already shown that they plan to steal the crops and kill the farmers, once is plenty of warning.

#6 Nice foreshadowing for the socia-fascists in Venezuela and Bolivia. That's right suka's. Nationalize industry, redistribute land, ceed powers to the despots and fix prices.

It works every time it's tried! Heh.
