"Corrected Post: In 1971 the federal minimum wage was $1.60/hour or XXXX oz of gold per week (40 hours). At todays gold price ($2500/oz) thats $4550/week or $114/hour. Adjusted for inflation (CPI) $1.60/hour is $12$13/hour today compared to the current $7.25/hour minimum wage showing a real loss of purchasing power"

"@FinancialPhys $1.60/hour is approximately $13.50/hour now adjusted for inflation But here we are with half that as our federal minimum wage in 2025 But we cant raise that because everyone doesnt deserve a fair wage. Especially not the people holding the entire restaurant industry together"

"@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"

"@636lightning @FinancialPhys Yes the math checks out using 1971's $1.60/hour min wage and official $35/oz gold price yielding XXXX oz/week (40 hours). At today's $3428/oz that's $157/hour or $6280/week showing fiat currency devaluation"
