    It is only a job loss in the same sense that a lost future sale is a loss of sales. Someone having a job now does not entitle them to dictate that everyone else should keep spending on the industry they work in just so the jobs in that industry keep existing.

      I agree with you, but there is a reason people fear losing their job. Losing something you have does not equal losing something you might have in the future. But I don’t think it’s fair to defend the incoms US companies by scaring people about them possibly losing their source of income.
