CMV: Minimum wage should be updated yearly and regulated at the county-level to ensure it's a liveable wage

Minimum wage should be regulated at the county-level and change every year based primarily on the cost of housing (along with other relevant variables). The whole purpose of a minimum wage is to ensure those working a full time job can actually survive. Anything else simply does not make sense.

If corporations don't like the rising costs, they can put their lobbying money into reducing them. Housing getting too expensive? Lobby and/or incentivise home builders to build more affordable housing. Healthcare getting too expensive? Lobby for socialized medicine.

I also believe minimum wage should be treated somewhat like tax brackets, where smaller companies can pay less while gigantic corporations are forced to pay more. This will serve as a check and balance to ensure Walmart's and Amazon's cannot get by exploiting workers and forcing them to rely on welfare WHILE ALSO acting as an anti-monopoly measure.

If the purpose of minimum wage is to ensure you can survive, then why does it matter if the company is large or small?
