Dock workers striking against automation is the most American thing I’ve ever heard. When your country has a social safety net, it prevents luddite bullshit like this.
They’re basically right. Automation kills jobs. More profit goes to the corpos and not the workers. If we redistributed those extra profits (tax heavily and reinvest in social programs), losing your job wouldn’t be a potentially life-destroying experience. We don’t need to have jobs that can be automated, but until we use that excess profit to help people, workers literally can’t afford to not do those jobs.
They break constantly, lmao. They’re so bad, it’s perfect. The more they break, the more job security I have, and boooooy, do they.
A human will apply the brakes when they panic.
Robots don’t panic. Robots go FULL SEND into problems; busted rails, twisted metal. Sensor thinks nothing is there? Nothing is there! whoosh!
The other workers also hate them and frequently sabotage the automated trucks by putting shit in their way, or running over their markers(small reflectors in our warehouse that the trucks align to).

Have you shopped for groceries in the last 5 years? See one cashier watching 4 self check out lanes? Then how could you still believe this?
