    Because the CPI is fake, we buy 50% of mortgage bonds in order to depress mortgage interest inflation, and the index is actively manipulated. If you wanted to match real inflation with a minimum wage you’d need either no monetary inflation, or a non-political CPI index that cant be manipulated.
