you guys are looking at this from the view point of people with money. it doesn't matter to poor people what the interest rate is.
it doesn't matter to poor people what the yield on a roth ira is...
it matters how much utilities are, how much gas cost, how much rent is, how much groceries cost. and those things will go up on a local level, where ever they raise the minimum wage. because the people setting the prices there know their customers are now making more money.
it doesn't require financial analysis, it requires knowing that people will charge what they can get away with charging.
within 2 years of the minimum wage getting raised, poor people will still be right where they are, and probably a little worse off

Your blaming inflation on one of the smallest groups of people. The minimum wage earners.
Inflation is a cycle of economics, It helps drive the economy. Its gunna happen no matter what the lowest wage classes earn.

Some minimum wage earners do indeed care what the interest rates are as some do pay a mortgage. Also high rates can (but not always) mean higher rents.

Utilities again, normally rise with inflation unless they are govt owned.

Its a business right to charge what they want to charge as long as its not against regulatory requirements. The market will decide if they will accept those prices. We are seeing this in cannabis atm in America. Legalization has caused the market to crash.

Don't forget that our money is made of paper. It's the greatest hoax of all time. The value of paper dollars always goes down. This is how the federal reserve robs us all peacefully. Wealthy people don't hold and save paper. They invest it in something real and convert it back to paper later when they need some paper money. It's all a shell game and us peasants have to be happy picking up crumbs.

i'm not blaming inflation on anyone, you're completely missing my point. i'm not saying them getting a raise is going to hurt you...it's going to hurt them, eventually.
the first year, maybe two, they'll be ahead, probably well ahead of where they are right now. then the price of washing clothes at the laundy goes up .25 cents a load, then 50 cents a load.
the price of bread, and milk, and hamburger will all go up. not a lot, but enough.
landlords start to raise their rents as their leases expire.....
won't effect the suburbs much, but downtown will eat that raise.

It depends on what state you're in. I'm pretty sure it's still a mandatory 20 year sentence if you get busted with any drugs 3 times in Louisiana. Murderers and rapists often don't get that kind of sentencing there. The prison lobby is strong there and full of good ole boys. But, that's not the norm for plenty of states

In Louisiana, murder is a mandatory life sentence without parole if you don't get the death penalty. Next time, try Google instead of just making shit up.

But then the minimum wage rises again, with the inflation and the CPI (or tries to)...As I said earlier we had an increase to the minimum wage last year and then again this year. I'd wager on another small rise next year as well if the economy keeps growing at this rate. Other wages have been stagnate for awhile and the govt and reserve bank is doing everything it can to get that moving upward without much success.

Rents, like housing prices are mainly driven by supply vs demand. If the availability of rental properties are limited then the asking rents will be driven higher. AirBnB for eg has driven up rental prices in key locations.

Our minimum wage tribunal meets every financial year.

Name a state in Australia that that applies to? WA?

I can have 50g on me in public and get a warning. I can get 3 warnings in a 10 year period before getting charged
6 plants without admitting to supply is a smack on the wrist . Admitting or proven supply adds a 600 fine.
20 plants and over is classed as trafficking/ supply in my state, Most states are 50. I think NSW is 100 if outside (inside is frowned apond)? So as long as I'm under 20 plants its no big deal if caught. Id be looking at 3 to 6 month good behaviour bond and maybe a small fine if I'm unlucky. (less than 1k)
So its pretty lenient on the home grower growing for themselves.
The state of Western Australia has the toughest cannabis laws in Australia. Not sure what they are but I have heard its draconian.

That's inflation, not interest rates. Yes, inflation hurts poor people more because they don't have assets that appreciate.

That's the beauty of employer paid superannuation of a % of wages.
Even the poorest min wage worker has superannuation, Superannuation is normally tied up in assets that appreciate. Like shares and property.
Some minimum wage workers do have mortgages or own a house so again inflation helps them.

Anyways that's my last post on this topic on this thread. Sorry guys and galls for being off topic.

Don't apologise. People in America need to hear that things can be different than they're being told.

Australia works for everyone, not just the upper classes.

New Vansterdam in Vancouver WA lists a weekly deal of $10 for 3.5 grams. Another place in Portland has $89 ounces. They claim some strains test over 20% THC.

I know several people that have been growing for years that have given it up and just go to one of the 170 or so dispensaries around Portland. Vancouver across the river in Washington is saturated with them as well. It's easier to find a pot shop than a liquor store.

How much marijuana can you have in Oregon? As much as you want without facing a felony. Anything over two pounds is just a misdemeanor.

Unlimited: The amount of dried marijuana flowers you can possess without facing a felony. The Oregon Legislature has made it a misdemeanor to possess more than 2 pounds. Criminal defense lawyers note, however, that possession of a large amount of marijuana may prompt a drug distribution accusation.
