We are less than 10 years removed from most of these longshoreman being replaced by automation.

The only thing keeping these jobs as humans is capital investment costs and unions flexing. That will only last so long.

Isn't that over 5 or 6 years, so 10-12% per year?

I got to work (on location) throughout Covid. Is he just mad they didn't get laid off or lose their jobs?
