I cannot read the original article (seems to be blocked in the EU? I get access denied), but since this is a general comment:
If the only reason that a job could exist was that people had another job and/or got government subsidy this means the job shouldn't exist - it's not societies' job to support bad companies.
So, if they "just go away" that's okay. Give the people who don't have a job now government support and training to get a better job. At least the companies who tried to get rich by exploiting people stop existing then.

- thrill 3y agoYou say "it's not societies' job to support bad companies" and " Give the people who don't have a job now government support and training to get a better job". Do you not see the contradictions? Who is paying for that "government" support and training? Taxpayers have money for taxes because they work for a profit - else they cease to exist, or to appease the economically illiterate the politicians run societies into such debt that everyone (including those dastardly "exploitive companies") ceases to exist.
