That's nothing. How about car washer making $466K? https://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2018/06/money_for_nothing_working_the_docks_sometimes_mean.html https://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2018/06/money_for_nothing_...
Or in the same place, somebody getting 24/7 salary (literally paying him for existing, double on weekends) up to $517K per year? That's the stories people need to hear. But try to curtail the power of these unions, and there would be cries that "poor workers need living wages" up to the sky.

Maybe in another 60 years somebody would think about introducing some competition there. Right now, why would anyone bother to do anything for those people, if their election is assured (provided the party assigns them to the place) anyway?
