Once upon a time, salt (among other spices) was extremely valuable and systems of slavery were in place to procure it. Today it's essentially given away. Also, today, we continue to have systems of slavery - often self-imposed - in place, which we refer to as the employee.
Rather than once-valued salt, the employee works for "valuable" paper money, which has lost most of its worth since being removed from the gold standard in the 70s. Little do they realize, employees are being paid in the salt of today.
One should scrutinize what's considered valuable today. How long before it is today's salt?
