Shut up, you could probably not even do 1% of what these hardworking people do everyday. Stupid Keyboard warrior.

the strike is definitely happening. it was only avoided in November because white house and DoL people were furiously negotiating behind the scenes to avoid a strike before the election, and Biden gave the unions a lot of latitude. Negotiations have stalled because USMX is refusing to put language in the new contract restricting new automated cranes, for obvious reasons. It's an absolutely key union demand, way more important than any pay rise, again for obvious reasons. And the Trump admin has neither the expertise nor the desire to get involved and smooth things over. It's happening, 100%

yeah, although it'd be nice if the gain in efficiency didn't just go into the pockets of whoever owns the land the ports are built on. land value tax + UBI?
