Scrolling through the all feed and saw this post and genuinely cannot tell of this is satire or not.
Inflation is the one reason I have a tiiiiiiiny corner of my mind saying "they might have a point". Pegging laws to a dollar amount that makes sense today doesn't mean that dollar amount will continue to make sense in the future.
Tie it to some multiple of the poverty line or median cost of living, then we're getting somewhere.
