drd@lemmy.mlOPto politics @lemmy.world•U.S. port, union talks break down again over automation, with two months to go before potential strike1·9 months agoprogress benefits only a select group of already-rich individuals and means loss of jobs and income for everyone else.
This is tough because alternatively, not progressing on automation at the ports benefits a select group of wealthy individuals as well. The ILA’s president, Harold Daggett, brings in nearly $1 million a year ($902,000) in salary, and his son Dennis which is the vice president, salary is $703,000. At the United Auto Workers union, with more than four times as many members, UAW President Shawn Fain received just under $200,000 for his eight months on the job last year. . None of the dock workers get paid close to as much.
I think one of the best solutions for this is to offer some sort of retraining for the workers who will be displaced by automation. As with any technological progress, I am sure new jobs will arise. As the article states, we don’t really have a consensus on whether port automation will actually decrease jobs. I think the benefits of port automation (environment, worker safety, the end consumer, efficiency, etc) with some sort of worker retraining here really outweighs the cons.

Any advice?2·2 years agoI’ve been thinking about it as well, I think if I were to do it I’d probably post and immediately close the app, and disable notifications, to prevent addiction. Go for it, it might be fun who knows.

drd@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?4·2 years agoI found out what generally makes me feel good day to day, then I decided to pretty much eat those same foods everyday. Downside is that it’s probably not as varied as the ideal diet, upside is that it’s standardized which makes planning what you’re going to eat easy. I’ve also found that I’m able to make more progress in the gym from a standardized diet.
If I had to guess, it’s because of money. There was more incentive at the time to grow fast and try to maximize profit than to limit growth and potential profits in case of a market downturn. Tim slightly explains what happened.
I feel like back in March 2022 Epic did not really anticipate market conditions to continue to worsen. Big miscalculation on their part.

I mean you can’t go to the store purchase a stethoscope and call yourself a doctor. Similarly, programmers do not require any sort of certifications or are heavily regulated unlike engineers. It’s an interesting argument for sure.
