Viennas are a type of sausage. And it doesn’t work at all S. We get paid, then we run to spend our pay as soon as we can because it loses value before we get to the shops. Hyperinflation is terrible. Wages don’t go up daily, and when they do, employers are in a bad way because they may have to lay people off. Profits drop as people buy less and less, businesses shut and well, you can imagine, it is as we write it here.
