Thousands of dockworkers are officially on strike across the East Coast. It could cost the U.S. economy up to $5 billion each day

I'm usually in support of unions, but some of the demands here are just backwards and stupid. Preventing automation is a big one.
What incredibly poor timing.

Ya let's wait until our oppressors are ready before fighting back. We wouldn't want to upset anybody

probably when it hurts the most, which is kinda the whole point
It could have easily been worse closer to the pandemic when shipping was already fucked. So now is actually a good time!
JFC. Times like this I remember George Carlin and the bell curve.
