Eli5: why doesn't minimum wage increase with inflation?
gpt
Because neither political party want it.

The Republicans don't want it because the businesses that form a lot of their backing doesn't want increases in the minimum wage.

The Democrats don't want it because while the want increases in the minimum wage, they don't want to lose the issue -- that is, if there are automatic hikes in the wage, they won't be able to use raising it as a campaign issue every few years.
