It used to work like that in Italy, although not with a national minimum wage but with union-negotiated contracts. At least some of them had a clause that automatically raised base salaries according to inflation.

I read somewhere that clause was removed because it’d cause a vicious loop where raising inflation meant higher wages, which in turn drove up inflation.

At face value it makes sense, but I’m no expert so I can’t say whether that’s correct or some bs to keep wages low.

Which computer?

Work computer = bad screen

Personal computer = good screen

That’s good, but for it to scale everyone should participate. Maybe we could manage it centrally to maximise the outcome, I guess maybe the state could do that? Kinda like taxes? And then the government could buy or build the house and give it to whoever asked for it… Wait a second!
