OT.

OMG Waiting here for the owner to come with my final check.

5 of us.

We had champagne to get ready. It’s 925.

You’ve just spent about four times as much as the central bank of Zimbabwe has on hand.

Before you get depressed about the state of your finances, spare a thought for the nation of Zimbabwe, which as of Tuesday had exactly $217 in the bank.

That’s 217 dollars, not $217 million or $217 billion.
Finance Minister Tendai Biti said Tuesday that that was all that was left in the country’s public accounts after it paid its civil servants last week, the South African Press Association reported. He told reporters in the capital, Harare, that some of them were probably better off than the state.

An economic crisis is all but certain.
