Good Old Time of Inflation In Brazil
We in Brazil we were from time
of instantaneous inflation... !
Prices varied by minutes...
We would "steeplechase" inside
of the markets, chasing
of the price remarker and its
machine...!
We had to run faster
than everyone to reach to the cashier
with the price without further readjustment...
The morning we received
the salary, we were "rich"...
30 million cruzeiros in my pocket....
In the morning we could buy
2 shopping purchases, 2 pairs of shoes, and 2
pants and 2 shirts... in the afternoon everything
half... ! the other day, well
another day, it was already agony...!
