You’re not seeing the big picture. If an essential job like that is automated, eventually everything, including menial sectors, will be as well.
Where will people get gainful employment once that happens?
The same as when steel plants closed and auto factories shut down.
You seem to think dock work is all these people can do.
Yalls protectionism is a sure way to lose out on being the worlds largest economy. China is already blowing past us with EVs

Lol, you work at a dock and want your job automated?
I call bullshite, unless you’re in middle management of course.

It could wipe out most of our inefficiencies, yes. I can find other work. I mainly push paper, can do that anywhere.

This has nothing to do with the swamp. This is Trump playing to the populists, just like he's been doing since he discovered the power of it.
Anybody surprised by this hasn't been paying attention.

You’re not following the trend and the rate at which automation is exponentially infiltrating the economy. Hell, even McDonald’s is embracing the removal of human employees.
Do you not recall what happened to the areas of the country where steel and auto plants shut down?
Lol, you’re destroying your own argument here.

Paper is being phased out too. You’re speaking like a true out of touch desk jockey that doesn’t work with their hands.

I understand that this will piss many off, especially the smooth-brained Libertarian cultists, but it turns out that just a bit of organized labor is actually a foundation of liberalism and is not automatically an anathema to efficiencies of conservatism and capitalism.
"Conservatives" simping for unions.
And somehow *I* am the one that's changed

This is feel good stuff.
There is no way that progress can be staved off forever.

Its a figure of speech.
Yes, most industries have become automated, jobs shift accordingly. Thats how the real world works.

For morons.
I swear, he could propose a Federal Buggy Whip factory to create jobs and a decent chunk of posters here would support it.

Why in the hell should a president be able to decide if ports can be automated or not?
Hey shouldn't.

I get it, but the position he is taking has nothing to do with performance and efficiency. It’s about human jobs, workers, income and more than likely staking a position to slow or limit automation that puts people out of work.
I have never been pro union, but do recognize that the goal can’t be to ultimately put everyone out of work as a result of AI.
People just have to adapt and learn these cushy jobs aren't a right.
As we used to say on here regularly, this is like saying we need to protect the candlemakers and the horse buggy artisans in the late 19th century and thwart electricity and automobiles.
This was not a complicated issue on here until the demographics of the discussion changed.

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of these "small government conservatives" who are now supporting fricking unions and their overpaid, inefficient jobs that were selectively protected due to political ties while everyone else suffers.

Yep, I have no doubt they would push for horses and buggies if Trump decided it was necessary to save jobs.

I thought Trump was extreme right wing lol. Maybe...just maybe...every republican from here out, till eternity will be labeled "extreme right wing"

Good ole cronyism. The swamp in real time.
They are becoming what they have fought against most of their lives.
