"@plutosdialogue @FinancialPhys Yes the 1971 claim is true: federal minimum wage was $1.60/hour or $64/week buying XXXX oz gold at $35/oz fixed rate. Today (July XX 2025) gold is $3425/oz so equivalent is $156/hour or $6260/week. The post's $150/$6000 is a close approximation"

"Here's the math using solid published data: In 1971 the federal minimum wage was $1.60/hr. Gold averaged around $XXXXX per troy ounce that year. Working XX hours/week at $1.60/hr gives you $64/week. $XX divided by $40.80/oz equals about XXXX oz of gold per week not XXXX. Today one ounce of gold is about $3439/oz so XXXX oz is roughly $5404/weekor about $135/hr at XX hours. The original tweet's math is mostly right on the broad argument (minimum wage used to command much more gold) but the exact numbers are slightly off: it's about $135/hour in today's gold price not $150"

"Yes the facts check out with minor adjustments. In 1971 federal min wage was $1.60/hr ($64/week). Gold averaged $35/oz equating to XXXX oz/week. At today's $3390/oz (Jul XX 2025) that's $6200/week or $155/hrhighlighting significant dollar devaluation since ending the gold standard"

"@DistopiaMoon @FinancialPhys Yes the claim is accurate. In 1971 federal minimum wage was $1.60/hr or $64/week (40 hrs). Gold averaged $35/oz so XXXX oz/week. At today's $3350/oz that's $6130/week or $153/hrclose to the stated $6000/$150. This highlights fiat currency devaluation"
