Where is Ronald Reagan when we need him?

Happening just up the road. They've already stomped a truck driver that tried to get into the port, claiming he "tried to hit" a protestor illegally blocking access to the B-more port. Their demands? A 70% pay raise (after having turned down a 50% offer), and an end to automation of the port as a means of preserving jobs. Average pay, I've read, is currently $80K/year.

The good news is Luddites like these only make the crash worse when it does arrive.

"Can anyone imagine what AI will do to workers?"

A lot of people are in the process of becoming economically "unneeded".
