In many ways, I hate the future, too, when it comes to privacy issues in technology.

But their mindset is childish and nonsensical. It would be like me telling my boss to take that computer and shove it; I’m keeping my Selectric and want a 3-part carbon sets. That’s not helpful to anyone.

It seems that when technology takes jobs from people, other jobs are created. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it seems that way. They’d be smarter if they were striking to have illegals shipped home, as their existence in the USA is more dangerous to their job security than automation is.

One of the Fox Business guys was standing in front of a large group of ILA strikers, and asked for a show of hands for those who are voting for kaMAla. Not one person raised his hand. I was a little surprised.

The editorial is correct, but it makes no sense to lump a labor union in with the other Democrat imbeciles. Like it or not, the purpose of a labor union is to protect the interests of its members — even if it means doing things that stand in the way of “progress.”

That’s why the current ILA contract with the East/Gulf Coast ports has specific terms that prevent port terminals from implementing certain types of new technologies. And I would point out that one of the trigger points of the short strike was that the ILA has a formal complaint against one of the Gulf Coast ports for violating those terms.
