Stopping the automation is equivalent to trying stop the streaming service and stay with the DVD, it will happen wither you like it or not

This is the one thing that I am not so sure the government was prepared for is to re-educate people because AI is going to destroy a lot of industries there's no preparation for the workforce.... These workers trying to stop AI because it's going to make corporate prices cheaper

Automation will be much better those folks are about as hard working as postal employees and have the same attitude

[GaryTollett]

They want an extreme new wage that's just as bad as corporate greed. I am on SSI i want a 60 percent wage increase

We have to advance, this is not the 70s. This country ports are years behind others countries port. And now we all have to suffer because they’re scared of progress and change.

Our ports rank nearly dead last for efficiency. Our 2 biggest in LA and Houston rank 336 and 335 / 348. These people who make 150k want no automation so that we can finally get to the coverages last place.

meanwhile asian and european ports are embracing automation and are operating at a much higher efficiency that US ones.

[wllliamwoodard]

Yall just sealed ur fate automation will speed up and u will be replaced

[jesuschrist]

This will just speed up automation imo

[geert]

without automation you'll be paying 20 bucks for some asparagus all because these loafers want 500k next round

[GodlessGirl]

Denanding ban on automated cranes and gates is silly and naive. They will never get that. Makes the strikers look childish

[arronLark]

hopefully we won't run out of supplies... Should everyone shop for Christmas early?

[GeoffsSousChef]
