[Serious] The revolution was successful! The old government is gone. You get to help write the new Constitution. What do you put into it? (sopuli.xyz)

I get where you are going but it would make more sense to be based on a percentage above a living wage or something like that. In 100 years 10 million will be worth a lot less than today.

Maybe start it at 10m and index link it to the average wage thereafter. Make it in their own interests to boost everyone’s wages.

I like that idea!

Make sure it's the median wage rather than the mean wage, otherwise they can just hugely increase wages for a few outliers.
