The sooner the ports go automated, the better.

These guys aren't very smart.

Threatening to cripple the US supply chain sounds a lot like treason.

Am I the only one who remembers the cargo ships sitting out off the coasts during Covid? Nobody to unload them.

I am not pro-union, but he will win this one. Biden is weak and he will cave to the unions. The USA buys WAY TOO much material from overseas, that is the real problem!

AMERICA FIRST will solve this crap, and now.

Sounds like it’s time for someone invest in an automated port outside of these locations

Another area where we are allowing China to kick our arse



We are still a few years away from autonomous trucks, but as soon as they are viable, the entire container-based supply chain could be automated.

He acts like they work in large groups in the community. Most of those guys are working machinery by themselves are they not? It’s not exactly a high risk germ business

It's going to highlight just how dependent on international imports we've really become. It won't be possible to ignore.

This is east coast remember. West coast isn’t affected here. It will hurt, but most of the crap from China and Southeast Asia is likely going through the west coast right?

frick this guy.


And triple the compensation to their retirement plan.

Some crane operators make 200K a year with a lot of overtime.

They get three breaks a day and there is an additional time of 15 minutes tacked on for each trip to climb up and down the crane for their breaks.

We should use the TPS immigration to fly in crane operators from all across South America.....but that skilled workers we dont want those immigrants.

If they cant spend the billions of build back better to modernize the ports as the bill promised....I guess they will use it on dei training.
