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.
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.
Again I am talking about automated ports not Amazon sorting facilities, please look into how automated ports work, in fully automated ports there are less workers working directly with machinery than in a standard port. You'll need to provide sources that automated ports are not safer or more efficient. The transportation and movement occupation has the highest number of fatal injuries in my state, not only can it be fatal but it also takes a toll physically as well, we should be helping these workers and automation can help do that.
Automated ports do not work that way, where employees interact directly with a robot. Instead employees stay at a desk and minimal employees are on the ground. Like I had mentioned, automated ports are safer.
Yes, I work in supply chain. Being a dock worker is a tough grueling job, wouldn't we want to automate that as much as possible? Besides cost, automated ports are both safer and more efficient. I think the ideal scenario would be to grant some sort of retraining.
I'm very glad that someone recommended me bogleheads, after reading, I was able to open up a roth and contribute yearly which may be one of the best personal finance decisions I've made.
I'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.
I 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.
