Was on a plane a few days ago watching someone do this out the window 10 yards away.

- Seemed like the baggage handler was required to do a very fast cycle of <scan, toss, align, repeat next bag>. Automation seems helpful, and certainly it’s hard labor.

- This was also a young woman, in presumably a safe union job, working in a very pricey city (one of the mountain west towns that exploded). Adios union job hello robots.

Tricky ethics! Outside of picking stuff up and putting stuff down, not too many automation union-safe jobs left. Saving them from back pain is also going to be saving them from a job.
