Nothing because I’m prepaired. It also means trump will win even bigger.

Don't they realize this will just be a push for automation. Machines don't stop work, people do.

[shawnmatelyan]

Shelf absorbed workers that only care about them selves!!! Your just making AI become more possible and the workers still won’t have a job… Such smart people

It means I’ll not be able to get certain items because of their greed. And the Resident of the United States won’t do his job.

Unions in bed with the politicians. Election year.

[johnaltobello]

Eventually shortages and higher prices..

[MistaWikked]

If they dont go back to work, inflation, if they get raises, inflation.
I will say as someone who is against unions, some of them are long overdue for a cost of living wage increase.
However, striking against automation is bothersome, efficiency is important to keep costs of goods amongst the country reasonable.

Trump would be able to negotiate this situation. Biden will sleep through it on the beach and Harris will still “be raised a middle class kid.” We need Trump back now!

[bluedeep]
