The image tweet claims 1971's $1.60/hr min wage bought ~1.82 oz gold/week (using ~$35/oz price), equating to ~$152/hr or ~$6,100/week at today's ~$3,340/oz gold (likely typo for $60,000). It argues inflation "stole" value from Americans via dollar devaluation, with "they" implying govt/Fed.
The reply jokingly says "they" means Qatar, a pun or absurd twist.
Fact-check: Calc is rough but illustrates real purchasing power loss since 1971. Current min wage: $7.25/hr.
