> but I think someone needs to be thinking of the swaths of working people who are afraid of losing their jobs.

Yet the government watches small businesses fail all the time with nothing more than an offer of unemployment insurance.

Why should the government have a special care for taxis but no special care for a pizza parlor that goes under? Do they offer to retrain the workers with more advanced appliances?

In this case, it is merely the threat of competition! This is truly amazing.
