I don't think automation is inherantly bad , it's just nesissary to understand the things it causes and what end it serves. The existence of balancing loops that mitigate it's effects is not something I'd dispute either. Tech is one element in a system.

We should be pushing to balance the negative effects of automation with socialism.

Just heard NYK Line is going to be testing an automated bridge next year on a large containership.

In some cases they have denominations, canons and even proverbs. Yes basically.

Hello we are on the internet that sounds relatively normal and totally realistic.

If they can do this in a store they can eventually do it in a container yard or a warehouse.

The capitalist version of total world domination: Amazon’s goal is to take a cut of all economic activity.

They want to sell nearly the whole of the supply chain to other business. Eventually this means they're coming for my industry. We will be woefully unprepared.

So GA is going to build a truck only highway between Macon and Atlanta. They plan to have automated trucks on it too.

Not said in the segment, Macon has the GPA inland rail terminal, where one can ingate for the Port of Savannah.

This is a BFD. It looks like what I suggested earlier in the thread. Edit :NVM guess I posted that in another thread

Uh.... why not build a railroad? You know, things that are specifically designed and extremely good at bulk transport between set locations.

They already have one between Macon and Savannah. All the warehouses are in the Atlanta suburbs. Right now they truck from Atlanta, from the loading docks on the highway to Macon (or the other direction) and then pickup intermodal rail to the marine terminal or in the other direction.

A railroad can't goto all those small warehouse loading docks. Basically I think the goal here is: you have a driver get the container to this highway, then the rest is automated or handled inside an interchange terminal, then onto a ship to anywhere. This highway feeds in and out of the intermodal system.

GPA has thier poo poo together too. I'm very comfortable saying I think they'll successfully pull this off. They already have a huge competitive advance with the inland gate in Macon. This will further steal TEU volume from Charleston, Nyc, and Sea / Tac.

Hedged by that motherfucker is going to crash the economy and international trade. That'll gently caress up GPA's plans for this.
