Despite the obvious advantages of reduced costs and increased efficiency, standardized containers were initially resisted in the shipping industry (~1950s). We're no doubt going to see the same resistance to dock automation. Anyone int

It's certainly an interesting flavor of English. Seems to be from a combination of run-on sentences, excessive political rhetoric, and bad grammar. Learn when to skip over those and you can get the gist of it. On a technical note all s
