They should just raise the minimum wage.

Back in the late 80's or so a buddy of mine had a 100,000 bill from Turkey if I remember correctly and he said if he exchanged it here it was worth around 40 bucks. That's the direction we're heading if something doesn't change

Merchandise is in such short supply that people there have developed a system of trade with their friends and relatives in normal countries like the US.

Let's say toilet paper and toothpaste are very scarce and expensive. Pablo will write his cousin in the US 'Send me 20 tubes of toothpaste in a small package.'
He will then barter the toothpaste (which is much easier to ship than 20 packs of toilet paper) for toilet paper hoarded by his neighbors.
Other tubes will be similarly bartered with other neighbors who are hoarding other scarce products.

It's a pain in the arse but that's what happens when an economy fails.

Rookie numbers. Let me know when they reach Zimbabwe levels with a $100 trillion bill, or have to make up a new number entirely.
