No, I understand that, but the problem with his analogy is that he's deliberately picked a field where one person's success is matched equally by another person's failure. He's overstating his case by projecting the image of the work economy being like getting dunked on by Lebron James day-in day-out.
I have blue collar friends and relatives that would describe their working life as getting dunked on by Lebron James day-in day-out.
When jobs go offshore that is an example of "one person's success is another's failure"
