Ever see the equipment used ( for many years ) in forestry ? One operator can cut down , strip , and stack more lumber that 5 crews of men , with ax and chainsaw . If you also notice , we no longer have dark skinned people , picking cotton anymore either . Why not ? Because somewhere along the line , some smart guy , figured out how to make a machine that takes over all the labor , and increases your production to boot . This has been going on forever . People who made wagons , hated cars when they first came out also ,because they could tell that their days were numbered from that point on . Haven’t seen ant buggy dealerships around for awhile , but then again , I should probably pick up a few horses first . There are no more cattle drives either , train and truck made it unnecessary .
