Where were you working? In 1966 most HS teachers were making between $3,000 and $4,000 a year. Management Trainees at the large retailers worked 60+ hours a week for $3,600 per year. PFCs were making $80.00 a month plus three hots and a cot.

$2.50 an hour would mean $5,200.00 a year on a 40 hour workweek.

I wasnt born yet.
It was a way to say that folks always say”back in my day” things cost xxx lower than today, but wages were also correspondingly lower as well 🙂

..and I wasnt far off on my assesmemt of $2.50 as a guess as well then

from what i was able to see when i expanded the picture, that trucking company is literally 1.8 miles from my house, in fact, a block away from my gun club

the driver is a 64 year old man too...i do not know his experience level, but still no excuses.....NO reports of a medical event either..

what brings to my mind, is that of course he should be fired, his company will be sued, and then...the final number of injured and all those civil lawsuits against him..

sure, he "plowed thru 8 to 12 cars" and others were damaged as well, but it begs to ask the question...

"how many people in total were hurt"......

that's gonna be a busy time for the lawyers and civil suits against him alone....

i hope there is enough KY Jelly at the CVS and Walgreens store, he's gonna need LOTS of it.

I recall when a seemingly unreachable career goal was to have an annual income of $10k. As a farm kid in the 60's doing part time farm labor for $1 per hour that seemed like pie in the sky.
 
I was 12 in 1966. My dad got a contract with a greenhouse to build flats for plants that us kids could make for money. Several of us received advances and then had to be flogged (kidding) to do the work. I used my advance for a pony and tack. I also had a paper route. I did haying and corn detasseling when I was 15.
 
you people with dogs would know this, but i was absolutely amazed a 7 AMONTH OLD puppy would do this, and be a hero...7 MONTHS OLD...!!!!

But the flames were too strong, and she couldn’t get back inside. Haley said her 7-month-old Husky, Rocky, stayed by her 2- and 3-year-old children the whole time.

“He would not leave my kids,” she said.

As Providence firefighters responded to the scene, Captain Brad Casavant said they received word that people were trapped on the second floor. Several firefighters immediately made their way up to find them.


Firefighter Matthew Charello described having to “travel to the noise” amid the thick smoke to reach the victims.

“When we came off the stairs, it was zero visibility. We couldn’t see anything,” Charello recalled. “You could hear the engine operating off to the right and then you could hear the commotion at the window through, off in the distance.”
