Real question, not snarky: Why is this sort of downsizing always wrong for white-collar workers when blue-collar workers have been dealing with it for decades?

Real question, not snarky:
Why is this sort of downsizing always wrong for white-collar workers when blue-collar workers have been dealing with it for decades?
- koolba 7y agoThere’s a huge difference between downsizing caused by economic forces of the private sector and downsizing caused by outright elimination of an industry by elected officials.
- herbstein 7y agoBut that line is massively blurred when said downsizing of blue collar workers is a direct (and known) result of free trade agreements made by elected officials. You're adding one step to the chain, but the chain is still there.
- ablekh 7y agoHealthcare (as some other sectors) is full of inefficiencies and removing or, at least, reducing them cannot be seriously labeled as "elimination of an industry". I don't see how job market restructuring in healthcare industry due to proposed transition to the single payer model is different in its essence from potential significant job market restructuring across various industry sectors due to automation trend.
- asdff 7y agoSometimes you need the public government to step in and shut down malignant private industries.
