This is a common exaggeration used in a variety of ways. A Basic Income will destroy the economy (because the US economy depends utterly on a slave-labor class?) Or electric cars will destroy the economy because whatever. Its thrown around here a lot.

I read it as a lament that our economies are so vulnerable to the actions of a relatively small number of large corporations. Including the idea of certain entities purportedly being 'too big to fail'.

Not sure if that was the intended connotation though.

I don't think we should fine the company. It should be the execs who signed off serving time in prison instead.

or maybe it means an alternative way of organizing society is needed
