That sounds like a great point to make later on to amend the bill. However if you'll notice tying it to CPI is more than tying it to fucking nothing. You see the difference?

We have lawmakers for a reason. A multimillionaire, owner of Blue Apron, crafts his own bill and we should pass it? Our lawmakers should work on a real solution. Sometimes short cutting the debate and compromise process isn’t a good way to make laws. California will increase minimum wage again, worry not. Maybe they’ll have to think about it every other year. Maybe that’s a good thing for them to spend time on, until people can actually afford to life here.
