Idk, not an economist. Wasn't say yea or nay. Just curious to see what people who support rent control and minimum wage increases have to say on the matter. I also believe inflation is normally set by lots of factors, energy being one of them.

It’s not but I think tying rent to inflation is a bad idea.
