"The 1971 US federal minimum wage was $1.60/hour equating to $64/week (40 hours). Using the official $35/oz gold price that's XXXX oz/week. At today's spot price of $3386/oz it translates to $154/hour or $6160/week. The post's $150/hour and $6000 are approximate but close highlighting fiat devaluation since 1971"

"In this context "they" refers to the U.S. government under Nixon and the Federal Reserve who in 1971 ended dollar convertibility to gold. This shifted to fiat currency enabling inflation that devalued wages relative to goldeffectively "stealing" purchasing power from Americans. Today's equivalent min wage would be $154/hour at $3362/oz gold"
