>And the same with Silicon Valley, which keeps talking about disrupting industries, without regard for the people working in those industries.

It depends on what you mean by "disrupt". If you're talking about gig economy startups, I'm inclined to agree. However, if you're talking about "disrupt" in the sense of "providing a better product/service than incumbents", I don't see what's crazy about that, even if it does cause some people to lose their jobs. We shouldn't have to cling on to a worse way of doing things just so we keep people employed[1].
