Why do we have to keep fighting for a higher minimum wage? We should just set it at a livable rate then have it automatically adjusted annually based on CPI or a similar economic metric.
Some Dems in congress have tried to propose bills that die exactly that in the past and had it get shot down by republicans
Edit: worth noting at the state level that some dem controled states have started actually doing that such as California and New York
