reminder of how easy boomers had it: in 1971, the minimum wage was $1.60 and one ounce of gold is $40.80. that's 0.0392156862745098 ounces of gold for one hour of minimum wage work. if you jumped forward to today, you'd sell that same amount of gold for $87.36. yes, that literally means boomers in 1971 mopped floors for $90/hr equivalent purchasing power in today's money. on top higher quality women, less non-whites, less surveillance state, less taxes, easier to open business, cheap education, etc.
