Dear John,

You wrote
The second part of the formula is that the minimum wage will be increased by 3000%. This means that many business owners will have to lay off employees, substantially increasing unemployment in the country.
That doesn't seem likely to me for the monthly inflation rate is already higher than that: people will just get more valueless money. Unemployment is raising because business have no more valuable money, not because people are too much paid.
In other news, Venezuelan refugees, sadly, seem to escape hyperinflation only to become victims of xenophobia:

Oh John, you started my day with a big smile. Facts. Real facts from the real world. In olden days of factual education, our World History book illustrated the pre-WWII German economy with a wheelbarrow, paper "money" overflowing, headed to buy a loaf of bread. Venezuelans are using the wheelbarrow to flee. They realize the bread is just another empty promise.
While the NWO utopia is based in socialism, the migrating huddled masses fail to note that those making the rules are living large. Surely no one thinks Ms. O-C and Hogg are independently wealthy by means of socialism.
The world is full of populations fleeing mismanaging delusional despots. John reports the situations daily. No cliches are needed here. I would be thrilled to see common sense and sound economics reappear for Venezuelans and all others tempted to succumb to the free stuff.

Nazi is short for Nationalsozialist, that is "National Socialist" party. The Nazis were Socialists.

and the IMF predicts that it will reach one million percent this near
year


Socialist Venezuela is becoming one of the top three economic hyperinflation disasters of the last century, along with Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe, and 1920s Germany under the Weimar Republic.
You forgot the biggest of all, Hungary after WWII.
