Flame » in reply to Truck drivers are handling hundreds of times more freight than mule drivers.

You illustrated my point for me.

A mule driver got about $15 a week in the late 1880s, which is about $340 a week in today's dollars, or $17,680 a year.

A hundred times that amount is about $1.8 million. You think it's a social injustice that a truck driver doesn't make that every year?

Do any of you people know what the term "productivity" actually means?
