Haha, it would be fun if we now have three Hubble constants.

my personal favorite value for the Hubble constant is the "c" divided by the age of Universe, it results in 70.8 km/s/Mpc, right in the middle of the other 2 established Hubble constant's values, a very nice coincidence that the objects at the Universe age distance are running away exactly with "c".

A coincidence? I think it might be an identity.

But that would mean that disputes about the value of the Hubble Constant are also disputes about the age of the universe, and vice versa.

Right, and that has been revised a few times recently.
