Most jobs will give you a performance review and a raise every year to account for inflation and any increased duties you’ve taken on. We increase minimum wage by massive amounts after far too many years which causes all sorts of economic concerns, business complaints, and just a bunch of arguments everywhere. Shouldn’t they just increase minimum wage 3.5% or whatever, every single year?
They already lie about inflation to make it look like the economy isn’t in dire straits. Indexing minimum wage to inflation would make them lie even more.
