This Longshorman strike reminds me of the writier's strike a little while ago.

Automation and AI are scaring people who's jobs are easily replaced. This is natural but is extremely interesting.

The employers want to maximize efficiency which means moving towards more automation but they still rely on these employees so they cannot move too quickly.

I would not be surprised if we continue to see stikes like this as wages fail to keep up with inflation and automation become more effective and affordable.

There is no way to hold back the tide of technological development and it is clear that in the future companies will need far less human capital to operate.

The only answer is to either become extremely proficient at a skill which will not be easily replaced or to start a business of your own and utilize the same tools to your advantage.

The world is ruthless and you either adapt or die.
