    The automation portion is really interesting to me and I think it opens a bigger discussion about the future of employment and that three letter acronym that scares people to death

    I think in every scenario tradesmen were always going to be the main ones unionize against automation, the fact this is starting now though says we do indeed need to talk about UBI and mass unemployment.

    they wouldn't, actually. is zimbabwe worse than rhodesia? is namibia worse than german south west africa? if you're a racist white settler then sure maybe but I dont care about their well-being in africa.

    The ILA is arguably the worst union in the country and calling it a union is a stretch. This isn’t a factory worker union fighting for safety rights and higher fair pay. The ILA chair makes $1M/yr and the avg longshoreman makes $200k+ on top of $50k/yr benefits, which is subsidized by tax money. Almost all union leadership was involved in a high level RICO case with the Genovese family. They are asking the government to restrict automation and to artificially prop up high paying jobs using taxpayer money - I am not joking, their demands are something like $300k/yr. The longshoreman union is unlike any other in the country and they’ve faced constant actual legal challenges from civilian law groups of which they’ve responded by using mob connections to kill civil lawyers

    Yeah I usually hate conspiracy stuff, but between this and @krishna_bound ’s post — this being done to help Trump makes a lot of sense to me (not saying that Trump himself is involved in coordinating this though)
