No job losses isn't the same as nobody loses their job tho. Don't really disagree with you but the 'redistribution of jobs' can be quite unpleasant if it is you switching jobs. But end of the day, you are right, there should be another job waiting for them.

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.
