    Pretty close $24.85 adjusted for inflation for today. But even inflation indexing seems a little iffy when things like housing have been outpacing the general rate.

      Yeah, it should now be even higher than $25.

    And with how fast they’ve ramped up inflation doing as much stupid shit as possible, what should it be now, like, $47.70 or something? Lol
