You’re wondering whether the minimum wage or flexible salaries are more resilient against inflation. Honestly, I think flexible salaries are the best protection against inflation, because market conditions are constantly changing and you can’t wait for a raise every six months. In my own experience, while working as a freelancer, I set my own rates and kept up with inflation; people with a fixed income always fell behind.
Raising the minimum wage to curb inflation isn’t easy either, because when the state budget is under pressure you either raise taxes or impose cuts elsewhere. Flexible salaries, on the other hand, have a natural balance—if prices go up due to demand, salaries rise in parallel. You have to play the experiment with the market, not with taxes, bro.
