They fucked up big time back in the day by letting laborers unionize. Giving unskilled people a voice was a bad move for obvious reasons....

I think they had a place 100 years ago. They did some good. But that time has come and gone.


I have no sympathy for fuck heads making 100k fucking up the whole economy when most everyone else is suffering. Fuck Them All.
 
I think it's been mentioned already, but I think this info is important to understand how out of touch he is with reality.

But there are others who say Daggett's words don't really match his actions or his lifestyle and that his everyman routine is all an act.

For starters, while union workers are trying to make a living wage to support their families, Daggett is living the good life.

Just last year, he raked in $728,000 in compensation from the ILA. He picked up another $173,000 as president emeritus of a local union branch and lives in a $2.4 million 7,136-square-foot house on a 10-acre lot in Sparta, New Jersey, according to property records and labor department filings.

He's also got a house in Highland Beach, Florida, that was assessed at $1.4 million in 2023, according to Newsweek.

His $728,000 annual compensation is $428,000 more than his fellow union bosses at the AFL-CIO, Teamsters, and autoworkers unions, according to a tally by Politico.


Daggett has also been known to drive around town in a Bentley and owns yachts. Even Elon Musk called him out on his lavish lifestyle.


"Dude has more yachts than me!" the Tesla and SpaceX CEO tweeted.

Looks like they're still negotiating about automation. So after the election, and depending on its outcome, the strike might be back on. lol, guarantee higher wages, but for people maintaining the robot army/cranes/whatever.
 
I think they figured out they may have overplayed their hand. And I bet that snake don't like everyone looking at him as much as they are now. Wouldn't surprise me if this gets settled from now till then.

Also, Desantis may have played a part here also...JMHO

How bad would this have hurt the Wuhan Pangolin eaters and their exports to us if it had continued ?

I’ll be first in line to program your control systems for automation and you will be setting at home wondering what happened.:flipoff2:

Sounds like something coming from someone almost at retirement, those machines program themselves. :flipoff2:

Imagine going into a job where you are the temporary help until AI arrives. That clock is ticking. AI is supposed to replace 25% of US *manufacturing jobs by 2030. I bet it's closer to 10% by then.

I don't think so. Are you sure ? Remember the Baltimore Bridge debacle ? It was stated that Korea, Japan and China all went through there.

It probably makes some sense for non-containerized things, like automobiles and raw materials, but consumer goods are going to the West Coast.

They're going back to work so Kamala doesn't look bad and after Trump is sworn in they'll go back on strike.

Then the MSM will scream "Look at what Trump caused".

Election interference anyone?

Yes. And it will be the first time in our history that unions got involved in an election :laughing:

100 years ago 85% of the US was directly involved in agriculture. Mechanized farming has that down to 4% now, yet there aren't hordes of starving farmers ravaging the country. Life finds a way.

I am about to retire but I can do consulting automation until I croak.

I been in the energy industry since we were relay and mechanical governors. Now we are PLC and Electronic everything.

It still takes people with eyes and human thought process's when we get to some problem solving.

Those folks striking could be that person.

The final straw for me to quit working was when they slashed the commission on our biggest accounts by 50%. I told my boss that it was bullshit, especially when other industries were going out on strike due to inflation...which we were also experiencing, and meanwhile the owner of the company is buying airports and Eurocopters and 140' fishing boats, who knows what else. Greedy old fuck, cut the income of the very people that were bringing in the business. Boss told me to not take it personal, everyone in sales got it, yeah, that makes me feel much better about my $50k reduction in pay.:mad3: I hope some union gets in there and fucks up the works.

Inca stone walls

I get cold sweats looking at inca stone walls, how they perfectly fit irregular stones. This is a culture that did not even have iron tools. Any theories why they chose to carve these stones this way, rather than into standard shapes that easily fit into each other?
