Just a few hundred USD would make a big difference in the business, and what an opportunity for the American advertisers. Can't you see the commercials: "Zimbabwe Beer : One Billion Dollars. Satisfaction: Priceless. MasterCard." "... They take a huge pile of cash, but they don't take American Express. Visa - it's where you want to be." "(insert beer brand here) - Worth a Billion!" Note that I'm not making fun of the situation - ok, well, I am trying to lighten things up because sometimes if you don't laugh you go mad - but I really think that if the Zim situation were used in American TV ads, there'd be a lot more exposure and maybe some kind of _useful_ reaction from the US Govt<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('111192','Jeff'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('111192','Jeff','I\'m thinking that some folks in Zimbabwe should contact American advertising companies to do commercials.

But, hey, maybe the carrying of all that extra cash will help to burn some of those beer calories - might as well laugh - crying appears to not be accomplishing much. Unfortunately, buying a beer is the least of the problems faced by many in Zim these days - medical care, buying food for family, etc.. seems to be a bigger issue, but we all need something to make us smile and chuckle now and then - even in the face of personal, social and national disaster<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('110090','wayne'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('110090','wayne','There is an old \"American\" English phrase that goes: \"Belly up to the bar\" - I suppose for the average Zimbabwean it now must read \"wheelbarrow up to the bar\" - sad commentary of the state of the economy and the uncontrolled inflation brought on by horrible policies and practices.
