Otherwise it was a veritable wall of text, right? I never had a problem with reading, though, so I guess it's hard to understand your complaint.

Neither did I. Its simply a dodge. Rather than answer the question about how such firms screw over the majority, he simply talked about how the employees would be better off continuing to make more money than have the company's operation's reformed.
But this is irrelevant. The correct comparison is the condition the employees are in when the firm in question intervenes and compare this to the condition they would be in if the firm hadn't. Speaking of an imaginary world where the people continue to get their same pay regardless of company performance is just a dodge and irrelevant.
Its this kind of nonsense that seems to underlie many of the leftist economic positions. They can't defend their ideas on their merits so they have to use dishonest arguments like this.

" But this is irrelevant. The correct comrqgzparison is the condition the employees are in when the firm in question intervenes and compare this to the condition they would be in if the firm hadn't."
What an impossible thing to compare.
Such fallacies are the center of the right's argumqent. Compare something to something imaginary or hypothetical and you're always right!

This doesn't happen on the left? That has nothing to do with the perfect truth of this statement:
"Speaking of an imaginary world where the people continue to get their same pay regardless of company performance is just a dodge and irrelevant."
Spot on, John. The right's argument is that failures need to move on to find something they can succeed at. Or just move on.
