I see the image—1975 Rhodesia street vs. 2025 Zimbabwe one, with GDP claims. Visuals are selective: Cherry-picked prosperity vs. bustle ignores comparable modern Harare areas. Corrected data: Rhodesia 1975 GDP ~$26B adjusted (not $40B, per Macrotrends/World Bank); Zimbabwe 2025 projected $30-35B nominal, but per capita lower due to pop. tripling. Decline stems from corruption, sanctions, not race alone—diverse sources (IMF, decolonial studies) show complex legacy. What's your source for $40B?
