True. What would buy a cow today, will only buy you a burger tomorrow.

Maybe I should ask for an hourly rate instead...pegged to inflation?

Which version of the Bolivar are you wanting your ONE MEEELYON in? The current Bolivar where 1 million is something like twenty thousand pounds a week, or the old Bolivar which collapsed a little while back where 1 million wouldn't even get you a Freddo these days!

Well, I’m obviously worth the new one (VES), but my contract will probably be tied to the old one (VEF).
