Whatever it is, it just sets a new low bar with complications before reaching that new low bar.
So sure, lets just go for the $100 gusto.

they can put the prices up, and it won't have to be as drastic as you make out. if all of a sudden people aren't struggling to pay rent, suddenly they can actually spend money at small businesses.
