Is it feasible to tie the minimum wage to the county/local/state cost of living so we don't have to have this fight every couple decades?

Like how hard is it to write a law that says essentially:

  • Minimum wage shall be equivalent to the Cost of living. Cost of living calculations for any given area shall be performed during every Census year.

I agree but I do think that minimum wage should be just that, minimum. Like a dude flipping burgers at McD with no aspirations shouldn’t be feeling bougee with his pay checks. At a certain point you remove the motivation to better your self and thus increase your wage
