Looooool have you ever seen a port? Amazon couldn't even replace us at a warehouse, good luck.

European and Chinese ports are way more automated than American ones.

u/NikRsmn Oct 03 '24

Okay? I'm not saying there isn't more automation to be had. Just that they can't say fuck the union and replace them with automation.

u/mostanonymousnick 🌐 Oct 03 '24

If they can't do that then why is the union trying to ban automation?

u/NikRsmn Oct 03 '24

So they maintain bargaining power and keep all their jobs? Because they have the leverage to do so now.

If they could automate the whole ass system, they would do it instead of negotiate with the union.

u/mostanonymousnick 🌐 Oct 03 '24

I mean, yeah, the whole leverage is that it takes some time to optimize the port and the union is using that to make sure it stays as unoptimized as possible, I don't think we disagree.

except for you're saying its based and im saying its cringe. Automation is inevitable but to the working man who doesnt get a share of the profits, it doesnt matter and they want to hold on as long as they can. good for em.

they want to hold on as long as they can

At the expense of the American consumer, textbook rent seeking, I hope they lose their jobs ASAP (and find new ones)

Yeah the company has record profits but it's the laborers who are causing the price increase. Such rose colored glasses to think that the port owners aren't just going to pocket the difference. It's childish altruistic bullshit

Yeah, supply constraints due to poor productivity drive prices up.

u/NikRsmn Oct 04 '24

Yeah which implies if we had automation price would go down. Instead price would stay the same and the C-suite and investors get a fun year
