A comment on Apple Halted M2 Chip Production in January Amid 'Plummeting' Mac Sales. Parent comment
The minimum wage in the US in 1964 was $1.25/hour. Notably those five quarters were 90% silver worth about $20 US today.
The British Pound Sterling originally referred to £1 being exchangeablei for 1 pound of sterling silver or 1/270th of it’s original value.
It’s technically true that they haven’t gone to literally zero, but I would hazard to say it is close enough.
