This seems like a reasonable place to start a discussion, but hard to assess without real proposals. If I had to guess at what he is suggesting it seems to argue for all risk to be borne by the company, which really seems like an argument for less risk taking and more consolidation, not too surprising from a military man, but pretty anathema to technologists.

If you ask an existing business to retain its staff, a new business will appear that will capitalise on automated efficiency as they have no benchmark on which to be compared (eg. Walmart importing cheap Chinese junk or Uber bypassing taxi industry protections). I applaud the attitude. In fact, I'd love to see similar ethics applied to the media. The prejudice I see from most media outlets (especially around gender discrimination) is absolutely appalling. Domestic violence is a prime example. I rechecked today to see if the media had stopped its extremely sexist views and was disappointed to see a complete lack of ethics.
