I'm always baffled by this unholy protection of "jobs".
Making asbestos essentially illegal resulted in tens of thousands of people losing their jobs and shutting down coal plants will do the same.
It makes no sense to protect jobs at all costs, and doing so can have very bad outcomes.
If a company is doing something illegal or dangerous or that does not serve society anymore, we shouldn't bend over backwards just because people will lose their jobs.

It's very clear the context I was replying to: that "job loss" isn't "economic terrorism". Can we not treat the comment section as that party game where people only read the previous sentence of the story and write a follow-on sentence? You have the whole thread available to you.
