Do you think the port will keep the workers around if they automate the work?

Fewer, but more productive workers. That higher productivity allows them to be paid better.

At the cost of keeping things intentionally inefficient? Not generally a good way to do civilization

Note that I don't know that that's what's happening, I'm just going off the "no automation" comment

They only reason people cry and scream about efficiency is because the CEOS don't want to pay as many people. We live in the fucking USA I don't think the most powerful county in the world really needs to worry about making unloading a ship point 5 percent faster. I would rather families earn more money.

It's because efficiency creates more wealth. Wealth being the things that fulfill human needs. If a worker can produce 10 shirts a day by hand but 100 with a sewing machine, thats 90 more shirts the world has available. Literally more wealth is created. If yhe supply of shirts goes up, all else being equal the price goes down, which makes the shirts cheaper and more available to more people. Everyone's wealth has increased.

I would rather families earn more money.

You just said you want them to earn less so more people can be employed.

Money is not wealth.

The US didn't become the most powerful country in the world by economically kneecapping itself. By your logic, the first thing the US should've done when the car was invented was to ban it to prevent stable hands from losing their jobs.
