Agreed, it's so unfortunate they didn't win everything last year.

Heat pump installation doesn't have to be expensive through it is. Try looking up what it'll cost you in Spain to install a split level airco that can handle heating as well. That's an air/air heat pump. Or check what it'll cost you to just buy the airco/heat pump. Then compare that to your country. There can be crazy differences in what they charge you.
Subsidies, the installers will know about it, they can just charge more.
No idea of a solution. But do know people are paying way more than they should.
The ag lobby told him there's an ocean of fresh water
I'd say that he just says whatever. If it'll get him more popular and/or more money then there's no need to figure out if he actually believes something or not. It usually is self serving in some way, truth doesn't matter.
A salary maximum (as per the article) of 79k USD per year seems low. This as the accident rate amongst longshoremen can be significantly higher than average. It's often not reported on enough (at least in Europe) but significant injuries and deaths happen often enough. This partly because (obviously) a mistake has way more consequences on a terminal vs e.g. working in an office.
That's a stupid way to eliminate efficiency
In case of port/terminal automation the workers usually do not benefit. So it seems pretty understandable that they're against it.
In Europe there's way more automation. Still, workers often tried to prevent it.
In Netherlands the fixed cost for city based heating is paid by the people who make use of it. That seems fair, but practically it means that it'll be cheaper for people to arrange their own heating system and rely on electric heating. This because the fixed cost is high. However, if everyone switches to using electricity the city based heating would overall be much cheaper solution than relying on electricity. This as currently loads use a gas solution and there's a huge cost involved to upgrade the electricity network.
The city based heating variable price is connected to the gas price. So even if city based heating per kWh equivalent would be cheaper, people wouldn't notice or get the advantage.
As a result, city based heating is very unpopular. Planned projects to switch entire neighbourhoods have been cancelled. Again, logical because people were really upset to pay significantly more despite insulating their entire home.
Seems that in Netherlands they'll ignore the problem and have the country be less cost effective and upgrade the electricity network for significantly more money.
The Dutch Financial Times did a few articles on above in the last 12 months or so.
Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn't true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.
im qualified enough to know better
Maybe if you make YouTube videos you'd achieve that.
Regarding experts, there's so many topics where experts are ignored.
I've seen pro-life folks
Those people are NOT pro-life. They're anti-abortion. It would be much better to use the correct term instead of pandering to the idea that it is about saving lives.
Pro life is not the right term. It's much better to say you're anti abortion than to pretend it's about saving lives.
oh you watch videos and it's hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs
Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don't see driving as comparable. In one you're actively doing something. In the others you're only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.
There's a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.
I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.
Meh, that's been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.
Change for the better is good. But just because there's a computer involved doesn't mean it's already better or that'll be foolproof.
