It's only fantastic if $27 is in 2019 dollars, not 2021 dollars.

- jeroenhd 5y ago$27 in 2021 is still over $25 in 2019 [0]. That's a lot better than the minimum of $14 or the standard $20 for skilled wood workers that another comment mentioned. Inflation may be high today in the USA (as much as 5.8% this year) but it'll take a while until these numbers become as drastic as many news outlets make them appear.
