72 bucks. Read somewhere a little under that is what the buying power of our grandparents was when they could afford a house and comfortable life with a wife with a single job, so 72 since the billionaires have too much anyway.
I was going to say $73 but you're right that would be way too much! $72 is perfect.
But we can't pay our workers 73 dollars per year! We'd go bankrupt!
Nobody wants to work any more...
