due to inflation, you would have to put *at least* $10.83 down "on it" to smoke with The Luniez, up from $5 in 1995 money. but the federal minimum wage was $4.25 in 1995, and only $7.25 now in 2026, and that's not even accounting for the massive cost of living crisis as prices on goods with inelastic demand have risen out of control from widespread gouging. prospective smokers would likely need to proclaim "I got $20 on it" to make a fair comparison, and that just doesn't roll off the tongue 😔

wild how it's almost the same map. i am curious about the discrepancies though, like how in the hell did florida's minimum wage get that high
