Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

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.
Oh yeah of course it needs to be tied to some relative measurement like median COL like you said.
