Nice chart crime. Gold didn't move for a decade after your date cutoff. Bubble

Min wage should be zero....market will set entry level positions.
You mean the same market that hires illegals for half the price and ships jobs over seas because it's "too costly to make it here"? Yeah.......I trust the "market"

No boomers around during FDR administration.
We had a balanced budget in 2001. TARP in 2008 was basically to save all the retirements for reckless boomers. Lets also not forget shutting people in their home at the threat of a gun...to protect boomers from getting virus that was only harmful to them

US consumers have been losing exponential actual purchasing power since the late 60's. That was followed by the oil shocks of the 70's. That was followed by the "Greed is Good" 80's. House bought for 30K in 68' sold for 240K in the late 80's. Hate to think what it costs now but pretty sure I could not afford it.
Viewed another way, at McDonalds you got a burger, fries, and shake for about 1/2 hour of minimum wage work. You also got a quarter back in change.
What can you buy at McDonalds now for a 1/2 hour of minimum wage labor and still get a hefty chunk of the cost back in change?

Flawed logic there. Boomers were inPower the last time the budget was balanced. Very few boomers were retiring in 2008. Just the oldest were hitting age 62. The Greatest Generation and others were in retirement. As to people being reckless, most of us were in traditional IRAs or 401-Ks not real estate speculation. Reckless loans by banks triggered that not workers investing in retirement accounts.
If you want to blame someone blame the bankers, not the Boomers or any other generation.
Fear was the initiation of the Covid nonsense. People with health problems many over 80 years old were dying. Now to be technical those were older than boomers. Many of us particularly the younger boomers continued to work. I was considered essential personnel at power plants.
To blame one generation for anything is ignoring who voted for the people that promoted the bullshite. That is the group to blame. The guy trying to get us out of this mess is a boomer.

My dad was big on purchasing South African gold Krugerrands back in the late 70's and 80's when he and my mom used to travel there to hunt and safari. He purchased nearly 53 pounds in total, and they are all in a safety deposit box and part of my parents' estate in trust. I don't know how many actual coins there are, I just know it's 32 lbs. and so many ounces (how it's called out in the trust), so assuming they are each an ounce, that's gotta be 512+ coins. I bet he would be delighted to see the value had finally taken off like it has. I wish he was here to spend every last nickel of it having some fun, though. 
Miss the old guy.

Boomers solely presided over the massive growth of debt and the money supply. They were the biggest voting bloc and still hold power after selling out the last dime of American equity

White collar crime pays better and the odds of winding in jail is way lower.
