By the article's own numbers of 352 kg last year and 125 kg this year, gold deliveries only fell by 64.5%
Back to school! Oh that's right, they're all closed.

The sector has virtually shut down as miners cannot fund operations, senior Zimbabwe chamber of mines official Douglas Verden told Reuters.
At its peak, Zimbabwe produced more than 2 400 kg of gold monthly, but miners, who are owed millions of dollars by the central bank and have to cope with the world’s highest inflation rate above 231 million percent, have ground to a halt.

You didn’t factor in the inflation rate...
I sure wish fuel prices would fall 181.6%...
That place is a blueprint for how to dismantle an economy and F up your country. Probably ‘The “Mr. I Hate America” President’s’ playbook for his administration. Can’t wait!!!
These guys have to be just as bad or worse.
Never think what whorescum like these tell you is anything more than a nice yarn spun to sway opinion in their favor, it's the only thing that spurs them on to flap lips in the first place.
They must teach such things in journalism school — “Math 001: Those pesky percentages”.
What the hell!?!?!? You mean people have to actually WORK and then be paid for it for things to happen?
But they told us Utopia was no work and everyone’s every desire would be fulfilled!
Apparently the miners are so mad they’re putting gold back into the ground.
They have their own Obama.
Can you imagine living in a place like Zimbabwe, where you work like a dog, you’re money’s worthless and there’s just stilfling government regulations? Oh, wait, did I just describe America under current and future Democrat rule?

Obviously, even the soldiers are too week to do any mining, what with living on tree bark and insects.
Had it risen from 125 to 352 they would have said it rose by 181%. But yes, that is a 64% drop.
Just remember, Zimbabwe is the model the left aspires to imitate. That is Obama’s dream, to be the Mugabe of North America.
