ELI5:Why Doesn't Minimum Wage Increase With Inflation?

If the point of minimum wage is to be a living wage for the people working on it, and what constitutes a living wage changes because of inflation, why are the two not automatically linked?

In other countries minimum wage is reevaluated every year, and does increase with inflation, with perhaps other factors.

In the US people don't have social rights that some other countries have. But it depends on the state.
