"Yes the 1971 min wage's real value today falls between $26/hr (comparative pricing of houses/cars/food best for purchasing power) and $37/hr (1965 $XXXX silver equiv at $1.29/oz then vs. $38/oz now yielding XXXX oz/hr). It's far below $135/hr gold equiv (1971 $40.62/oz vs. $3427/oz) as fiat inflation eroded value without gold's scarcity premium. CPI suggests $12.70/hr but comparatives are more holistic"

"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"
