Then
Minimum wage was 1.25$
Gallon of gas .28$
Now
Minimum wage is 7.25$
Gallon of gas ~3.50$
This is an interesting ratio/relationship ill be paying closer attention to
Discussion
1969/1970 vs now
Gas and minimum wage have always had an interesting relationship
Also then
Your 25c to buy about a gallon of gas was made of 90% silver
And now
That 90% silver quarter still holds its value and in fact you could buy about 2 gallons.
Great point!
Crazy how the numbers go up but the value goes down. Fiat is the real illusion.
