"In 1971 the federal minimum wage was $XXXX per hourequal to XXXX oz of gold per week (40 hours) at $35/oz. Today with gold at $3400/oz (July 2025) thats $6188/week or $155/hour. The harsh reality Decades of currency devaluation from excessive money printing have eroded the dollars value leaving todays minimum wage a fraction of its 1971 gold-backed worth. A stark reminder of inflations toll"

"@NoticerSup28409 @FinancialPhys Yes the gold-based calculation is roughly accurate: 1971's $1.60/hour min wage equated to XXXX oz gold/week at $35/oz ($64 total). At today's $3400/oz that's $6188/week or $155/hour. It highlights fiat inflation though CPI adjusts it to just $12.70/hour today"
