That’s the intention behind that back to work decision.

Wondering if you really meant that word or if it’s a typo.

A salary maximum (as per the article) of 79k USD per year seems low. This as the accident rate amongst longshoremen can be significantly higher than average. It’s often not reported on enough (at least in Europe) but significant injuries and deaths happen often enough. This partly because (obviously) a mistake has way more consequences on a terminal vs e.g. working in an office.

That’s a stupid way to eliminate efficiency

In case of port/terminal automation the workers usually do not benefit. So it seems pretty understandable that they’re against it.

In Europe there’s way more automation. Still, workers often tried to prevent it.

You cannot easily tear up the concrete

Concrete near houses is wasteful. In NL stones are used instead. Installing a charger is easy. There are loads and loads of chargers. In my city they are at most 50 meters apart from each other.

I completely disagree with pretty much everything you said based upon how NL does it. It’s easy, it doesn’t take a long time, it doesn’t affect anyone sleeping, etc.

I have to assume somebody’s done a cost analysis

I don’t get why you assume there’s a cost analysis that could be accurate over the reported productivity increases of working remotely.

It’s likely the obvious, a change that isn’t good but it’s done anyway because people in a company often do not do what’s good for the company, they chase what’s good for them personally.

Intentional typo? 😂

Yet all these left leaning European countries have tried to turn a blind eye or downplay every time one of these groups have assaulted or threatened someone.

Which countries do you mean? And could you explain how they ignored people assaulting other people?

I fail to see why this is a thing, or why you mention it’s somehow a “left” thing.

The reason it’s more significant now is that Turkey is using the book burning as an excuse to withhold approving NATO membership. After that it became news, before that it wasn’t news. Meaning, no need to make up stuff about you making up things about “left leaning”.

1980 was 40 years ago. Biden probably is unaware of this.

You mean he’s younger than 40?

We need to get rid of these geriatric politicians.

40 is too old?
