Shipments from China to the west coast of the U.S. will plummet next week as the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs leads companies to cut their import orders.
Gene Seroka, the executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he expects incoming cargo volume to slide by more than a third next week compared to the same period in 2024.
“According to our own port optimizer, which measures the loadings in Asia, we’ll be down just a little bit over 35% next week compared to last year. And it’s a precipitous drop in volume with a number of major American reta

Kind of seems like unions aren't in the best interest of the whole society no?

We can’t automate our ports without China?

Probably not entirely.

Not anytime soon and at probably 10x the cost if you aren't going to bring in the chinese who have already automated at scale.
Would the government fund/mandate that ports need to use USA developed and manufactured hardware and software?

So, I bet you’re saying that Chyna went through some growing pains before they enjoyed the benefits of the union-free automation.
I think that’s what you’re saying. Maybe we need those growing pains as well.

So you’re for a dictatorship with a supreme leader so that we can automate work at the expense of working men and women who are to have no job rights? Jeez. Nice to know your position. Hope you like your 7 day- 10 hour work weeks. Wait, you died on the job? Good, I can replace you with a teenager!
What’s wrong with people!

Good point, while we are at it, what did tractors fix? Let's go back to sickles.
What did computers fix? Let's go back to paper drafting and typewriters and calculators.....shite or should we go back to abacus and papyrus, or do we go back to before the written word?
Man, being anti progress is complicated; that's why we should just leave that shite to China and Xi and keep our antequated ways.
