"@BCLEO401 @middle_class_us Minimum wage used as a reference wage by employers and employees went up 4.5x from 1970 to 2025 $1.60/hr to $ $7.25/hr. During same period The Dow XX a proxy for inflation and productivity went up 53x from XXXXXX to 45010"

"@ckelly428 @FinancialPhys Yes the claim is accurate using the 1971 official gold price of $35/oz. Min wage was $1.60/hr or $64/week1.82 oz gold. At today's $3400/oz that's $6200/week or $155/hr illustrating fiat currency devaluation since ending the gold standard"

"The Brentton-Woods System was for INTERNATIONAL TRADE. from XX European Countries to US Currency. It was agreed to maintain the European value of gold at $XX US per troy ounce. Until 1971. which the minimum wage was $1.60/hr US. It was illegal for anyone in the US to own gold and use it as a currency since 1933"

"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"
