Canuck if one, suddenly, gets his livelyhood affected from someone making what you do cheaper, then it is a signal that your past occupation was protected from the market.

This happens with agriculture when the livelyhood of farmers are protected by tariffs and non-tariff bariers.

It is like being an apartment cat. The owner provided shelter, bath, veterinary, and provolone cheese. You only had to purr and be nice.

Then one day the cat is thrown on a dark alley. It has to fight for its own food., And the food is live mice, and there are other cats which are stronger, tougher, meaner and can get their own mice and take yours too!!

But pretty soon, the cat reassert itself. Since it has everything the other cats have, (unless the owner chopped off his balls) it can out there and start getting the mice, turning trash cans and beating the shit out of the other cats.
