Robots don't pay taxes or even spend money in the local communities. They should preserve their jobs. My question to you is, can they stop progress?

Uh, first of all, there's no evidence that that's true. There have been lots of studies on automation in ports, domestically and internationally. The trouble with East Coast ports is they're very old; they're very inefficient.

When you start to compare them against other international ports like Singapore and the other Asian ports, um, we're just not holding mustard up against them, and that's very bad for productivity and flow-through.

So, we can't agree to that. We just got to let automation go where it goes because there is zero evidence on the East and West Coast that if you automate and make it more efficient and more productive, that it hurts wages at all.

Indeed, it may even increase the actual pay you give to employees that know how to use these robotic systems, so they become more engineer-oriented. It helps job creation and helps the value of wage growth.
