    In the time before containerization a lot of people used to be dock workers. Today virtually noone is a dockworker anymore. That’s what I was referring to.

    That’s a large part of how the world became as connected as it is today.

      yeah but automating jobs with a high risk of injury and guaranteed fatigue damage is one thing. nobody was ever a dockworker as a hobby.
