Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Wed Oct 30 12:16:10 2024, in response to Before WFH, another development that completely corn holed New York's economy, posted by Peter Rosa on Wed Oct 30 11:47:01 2024. "The old "break bulk" shipping, in which teams of longshoremen loaded and unloaded ships by hand, didn't require much space and hence was completely suitable for a crowded city like New York."You're a couple weeks late to this. The strike is over. Apparently there are twice as many workers than jobs at the ports. The world is largely automated, but for the "1st world" US. I like the old vidoes where they used to load TV's onto boxcars. I wonder if much got broken back then. You buy something at a store today and the packaging and condition is often shameful. I get phones shipped to me via fed-ex wihtout even wrap. It just gets thrown around the box in the truck. |
