Mostly states in the US, it is more common for countries to let the minimum wage be set through collective bargaining between the country and the unions, but we don't have enough people in unions to do that in this country.
Ok, which states have their min wage tied to inflation ?
You're backtracking now.
You said countries tied their min wage to inflation.
Now you talk about unions and collective bargaining ?
No, because it is like arguing with a stop sign. You believe wages should be like the third world you ran away from, so that is what you will continue to believe.
That's your valid reason???
Come on, if you have one, say it. If you don't, stop arguing and admit you are wrong.

If you base it on 1938. Minimum wage was at its peak in 1968. But nice try with that weak attempt .

I took one country..the Netherlands.
They do not tie their min wage to inflation.
They tie minimum wage to AGE.
I'm not going through the rest of your list but I suspect no one ties their wages to inflation.
Minimum wage in the Netherlands rises once again | Dutch News
The minimum wage in the Netherlands rises on January 1 and July 1 each year. It depends on one's age, and gets progressively higher from age 15 to 22, then remains the same for everyone aged 23 or older.

Only basing it on when it started, that super random date the I cherry picked to make an argument, if it was tied to inflation (like you want) that is what people would making now.
