Oh really.

Then tell me, what's the history of the minimum wage, adjusted for inflation, compared to cost of living?

The minimum wage is a government imposed price floor, not an average wage.

I was simply explaining why wages rise automatically, not making any comment on government price floors. But since you ask: there should be no government price floors or caps. The price paid should be based on mutually voluntary agreements.
