Missile Strikes, Union Strikes, and Debates…

[@donalddouds6033]

For the Port issue it’s easy. The union can do their 16 hours and then they can have a skeleton crew for the other 8 hours with automation. Problem is they would see how glaringly inefficient the 16 hours are in comparison.

[@Post-Trib]

I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced them with Haitians

[@Ash12428]

Or they can expand to being open 24/7 and keep the same workforce and use automation. Shift schedules around to keep everyone getting their hours and because it’s 24 hours a day, it’ll also open up opportunities for overtime. But considering the supply chain issues, I can’t believe the ports aren’t open 24 hours.

[@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702]

I was going to say that it's best to mix everything: Morning guys start 6am that are close to retirement Evening guys start 3pm that are getting paid to learn to maintain the machines mixed with training new guys that have to be younger than 25 Night crew that start at 10pm that are full automation

[@MichaelHoward-h3k]

Union doesn’t care about the workers, it’s the lost dues they care about.

[@Lifetimelearningisbrave]

No they don’t. But they are the best workers have to organize, because our politicians are bought and because people like this guy who have a nice pension from the government coming in and is pretty entitled and disconnected to humans not like him. They all guess at the experiences of working people instead of getting curious and simply asking their experience and assuming good intent. All these people have a sense of smug superiority that is a horrible example of Christianity. It’s like listening to the dems.

[@adusty3850]

I agree with Christian on the subtle darkness of not working for the same company for 25+ years, where you had rapport with your employer and coworkers. There was a much simpler life then, more expectations and community life. On top of having retirement plans and insurance within your employment, which is severely lacking in today's society where people jump from one job to another.

[@dtwatson1]

It’s a free market. Companies are incentivized to do better.

[@Lifetimelearningisbrave]

@@dtwatson1 The fact you believe there is a free market when banks, car companies, Boeing and billionaires get WELFARE to get bailed out for failing is actually the biggest self gaslight I have ever heard. Companies are incentivized!?! lol!!! Boeing spends every dollar of their multibillion income on stock buybacks and can’t make ends meet and our government gives them free money, did they FIX their planes? Since you obviously don’t know no they didn’t but I’m sure they used tax payer money to “silence” that pesky whistle blower. Please look into the reality of life Peter Pan. Your belief systems of the 70s republican have been debunked. What else do you lie to yourself about?

[@h4tch3tt74]

The job hopping goes back to the corporate decision to hire people who already have the skills for the job rather than just good morals and ethics. Work ethic, adaptability, and capability to learn. Once companies stopped the loyalty to the employees by teaching them the needed skill for the job they are hired to do and promoted to do. I also find some of this is partially tied to public companies va mid sized businesses to big privately held businesses. The stock market incentivizes both hiring and firing for temporary stock price increases. When hiring it sends a signal your growing and when you're firing it sends the signal you trimming the fat to stay profitable. So you can cynically see why a company might keep a certain amount of "fake" jobs around as a way to get a temp bump on stock price for investment funding.

[@Jameslectric]

Companies pay their employees as little as they can get away with. I've worked for the same company for 25 years and I am always underpaid in every position I have had because one excuse or another. Last time is because I don't have a degree. Which is funny because I trained a new hire with a degree to do my job and he got paid more. He quit 2 years later. I am still working for the company with no pay increase. I still have 20 years before I can retire.

I only just realized how evil it is to do a port strike when there’s people without food and water in North Carolina and probably the others states affected by the hurricane too.

[@Lifetimelearningisbrave]

It’s fun when guys like Nick talks about personal responsibility and then when men stand up to take it he turns into a politician that enables billionaires to pretend they don’t have enough money to keep up with the living wage. It also hilarious that he pretends we have “free” markets and enough jobs that pay people decent wages so people can just pick up their entire life and move if you’re not happy. I guess Nick doesn’t know anybody in the low middle class looking to buy houses. These guys tend to stay in their echo chamber kind of like the dem fundamentalists. The POINT of a strike IS to affect the country and make it know how important their jobs are. The “morality and covert shaming” definitively tell me Nick and those he lets into his tiny circle of angry fundamentalists are definitely anti union. The ironic nature of these men pitying those who can’t get paper towels while forgetting their job choices literally ended people. Man those mean dock workers sure are awful. But then again, I go to church with people like this, and man they sure don’t like looking at their hypocrisy.

I lived in Pittsburgh, Pa during the hay day of the steel mills. With crippling government regulations,and increased demands of the Unions the mills closed - thousands were out of work- though the mills did offer to retrain the workers, or relocate them elsewhere. Workers that accepted retraining , or relocation continued to work those that refused did not. My sister, and her husband relocated to Birmingham- they had a new baby , and decided to move. They did very well in Birmingham in the new , more automated mill.

You look how much water they use to mine 1 ton of lithium and it will blow your mind (500,000 gallons of water). And what about the chemicals and heavy metals it is putting in the air, ground, water, and ground water people use for drinking. Plus the fact what it takes to even recycle any of the battery if they even can. Then the batteries when they catch fire they can not be put out and can burn up to 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. If the battery becomes damaged in an accident you can not use a saw or jaws of life to get a person out because it could catch the car on fire. And then there is the cost to replace the battery, is could cost up to 26,000 dollars to replace it.

On the machines? Well no we don’t build the machines anymore, that’s done by automation and ai, so software right? Well more of that is becoming controlled and done by Ai so let’s hear what jobs people whose jobs are being replaced they can do, with an ever increasing workforce as immigrants move into our country. I mean it’s great to hear people talk a big game about it. Put your feet in their shoes, your livelihood of 20 years is going to be gone, and you at best have maybe some odd end minimum wage jobs.

I do agree other jobs are created when others are automated. However within the fields that are automated, even when including the new jobs for maintaining or monitoring the automation, overall have less available employment. At some point it will reach a critical mass of automation and complexity that many will be "locked" out of the job market. I am sure people will figure out ways to transition and survive, possibly for the better, in the long term. It may mean that automation leads to a boom in small business as these people instead need to create their own opportunity. Or it may mean that many people basically retreat into small farming communities (EDIT: before someone think this means farming like your ancestors, no it means using Modern tech to farm in high efficiency methods. Their are so many sources on how this can be done successfully and the knowledge is more accessible than ever) as their income opportunity dries up. You already see this with the explosion of Homesteaders, it is not just social reasons but economic as well. There are so many ways this can go and anyone claiming they know how everything will end up because of the precedence of Industrial revolution is failing to see how this is not ANOTHER Industrial revolution it is simply a later stage of this same revolution. We are still and have been undergoing this "revolution" this whole time, it did not stop at any point.

[@jestonrademaker2430]

I’m sorry but the idea that people move companies solely because of opportunities is incorrect. The reason people move so often now is the retirement system shifting from pensions to 401ks. This kills the incentive of people to stay for the long haul. Tied to that is the hiring/ promotion system of companies has changed. No longer do companies promote from within rather than hire externally. These two aspects have largely caused the idea that you need to change companies approximately two years in order to raise 15% of your income for that period. As was stated, a revolving door of people makes the office less personal, makes management care less about the workers(since they usually weren’t internally promoted). It changes the expertise of the management as they rarely worked the lower level jobs of the company so they understand their own business less(think if NCOs were never junior enlisted). I think you guys just were looking with a little too strong of a libertarian lens on this one, but I could be wrong.

Tina is wrong. The mercenary style employment tends to lead to moving around. If you're constantly moving you can't build community and you can't build a home.

I'm lucky I work in a career field that likely won't ever be completely automated. But that said I don't think it's good that automation takes over.

His beard can remain his adorably scruffy length for the summer, but come cool weather, yeah, he needs to grow it out lush. And about unions...they are like governments. They start out as a way to protect people. But once they have reached a size large enough to ignore the people they are supposed to protect, they start predating on the very people that they are supposed to protect.

Nick...keep the beard short

Does Christian have a Warlord Fund yet? Cause I have dollars.

I'd say automation is kind of a problem. It's made people lazy and entitled. Since forever we've traded world wide and produced goods at an adequate rate. Now that we've technically advanced to this point. We re in an era where automation is necessary because we ve made it necessary. Their has to be a point with technology and automation in manufacturing production logistics. All this where we say exactly what isnt safe. Their are certain jobs that just shouldn't be automated. We ve got semis that can drive themselves. Do we want items shipped all over America by a robot. That at any second could glitch and drive every truck on that frequency or that companies sever. Right off the road. Literally a million car pile up could be possible. Let's get real. Technology has hit a point where it's stagnated. There's nothing so great from the 70$ til now. Except the micro chip and the Internet. Everything else is the same. We wouldn't have the longshoremen problem if inflation wasn't so high and we did manufacture more in America

[@XxIsmaelxX4510]

Robots bad because me no understand or skilled enough to program them or maintain them myself. That's what they sound like to me.

[@slurpee619]

As a machinist, that does program and maintain machines, you sound like a fucking retard.

[@Bjawae]

🙄😒

[@Armoless]

As a guy who has worn clothes for 40 years I gotta say "I'm a guy I have no Fashion sense" is extremely lazy bro, no one is going to Marry you if you cant identify a flippen Flannel lololol

[@vicleaken]

Leave the beard as it is now. Longer beards look like hillbillies in MO 22:27 and Santa Claus wannabes

Toothpaste guy wasn’t fixing only One machine. While 5 others lost their jobs, one guy kept his job fixing Many machines. Your point of views lack serious education.

[@mitchellwelch9135]

Nick, its nice to know legacy media has defeated even you. Your so crushed by their social manipulation you wont even consider being the voice of the people we need. Good job media, youve claimed another potential hero.

[@corahawkins3770]

Make the beard long again

[@fergimasta]

Become an automation/robotic tech. learn a valuable skill that people want and become your own boss.

[@TheREALMuad-dib]

Grow the beard for the Maker. Odin will be pleased.

Hello. Actual technology professional here. The Luddite comparison is terrible and only made by people who don't actually understand automation. Luddites were protesting the movement from highly skilled, specialized labor to unskilled generalist labor. Automation moves in the exactly opposite direction. It is moving from unskilled to skilled labor. It's making jobs for people like me. We have enough jobs for people like me. We need jobs for people on the lower end of the IQ bell curve who just flatly aren't smart enough to do what I do. I know that sounds elitist, but it's true. The dock workers by and large cannot learn to code. They just can't. What are we going to do with the people who don't fit into an information economy? They deserve to have good jobs where they can feel pride in their work and hold respect in the community.

[@Phoenixfox-og6el]

Dont flatter yourself you'll be phased out too. its not transitioning from skilled to unskilled then back to skilled its going from skilled to unskilled to nothing. at least in the long run

[@VVeremoose]

@@Phoenixfox-og6el You're talking about the singularity, which is theoretical. Machine learning is very good at specific tasks, but is just an amalgamation of human inputs. Take away the human inputs and it becomes incestuous to the point of non functionality within just a few iterations.

[@Qwerty123qazwsdrfv]

You can pay them to do unnecessary work if you want.

[@VVeremoose]

@@Qwerty123qazwsdrfv that's not work though. Let's not fall into the same trap the social progressives fall into by seeing economic "progress" as a good unto itself. The economy, like the culture, has to work for the betterment of the people.

[@Qwerty123qazwsdrfv]

@VVeremoose That's the point. He's free to pay them. Just him, voluntarily. Anyone else can, too.

Grow the beard!!!
