That's half the value. The other half is that standardized containers dramatically reduce "shrinkage" at the port. Which was a longstanding problem.
- datadrivenangel 2y agoShrinkage was a workers benefit! I don't think normalizing petty theft is good, but taking away 'perks' is still unpopular. Imagine the riots we'd get if FAANG workers couldn't take snacks home with them?
- gruez 2y ago/s? I can't imagine people getting up in arms about not being able to take home maybe $5 worth of snacks a day ($1300/year if you do it every working day), when their salaries are 6 figures.
