> ... cited the pandemic and the US-China trade war as reason why terminal automation, mostly recently seen at APM Terminals’ Los Angeles terminal, would hurt the ports, its workers, and surrounding communities.

Covid and trade war are reasons why automation would hurt the ports? Covid is why automation would hurt the communities? Non-sequitur much?

Covid is why automation would hurt the workers? Not even that. Automation would hurt the workers, maybe, but not because of Covid.



I am citing some irrational union comments to explain the irrationality of our government policies and the current situation in the ports, and you are attributing the beliefs in the comments to me. Please re-read.


I am quoting from your post, but I am not attributing the comments to you. Please re-think.

(Though I do see why you might be concerned that a casual reader though I was attributing it to you...)
