    Yeah, they did answer the question as asked, so no shame there. I was mostly just amused by the concerned comment saying that it’s “worryingly low, “ as if to imply that wealth redistribution isn’t practical because it would just make everyone equally poor, and that the purchasing power of $614 would remain the same if something that absurd were to happen. That old chestnut.

      Also, my mistake for not posting the link. I should have checked the rules. Trying to fix now.
