Can Someone Do The Math For Me?

 And NOT General Aesop! That tard pulls his numbers out of his arse!!!😂👍


That’s $468k per annum on minimum wage in current dollars - assuming this meme is right. (I caution: I didn’t fact check this).

There is no way minimum wage would have allowed for that level of income in 1971. 

Unless my Common Core edjyakashun fails me.

    1971 gold ran from $37+ to $44+ depending on the day. Meme used cost of about $35. Gold currently is running around $5000. That 1.82 oz would be worth $9100 so the meme math is correct.

    Of course gold pricing is manipulated just like fiat bux.

    Price of gold in 1971 was around $40, one week at 1.60 an hour equals $64. Gold today is $5000 an ounce, the math is there.

      I’m sure it is… but to say that minimum wage in 71 afforded a lifestyle of a person getting close to half a million dollars today…?

      Not a chance.
