Thanks, but I'm doing fine with my union and robust employment protections, and the financial security that brings to me and my loved ones.
The US can keep tesla, or whatever next iteration of it comes about, if it means we'd have to give that up (a claim I am highly suspect of).
If you want an actual solution that doesn't dilute our basic freedoms, like the ones proposed: most tech companies in Norway use temp / contract employees as a mutable workforce, while keeping permanent employees as a backbone and knowledge retention. This allows easily fluctuating the workforce based on company performance, and people actually get to consent to the higher risk of being a temp worker. (Most are part of a union or collectively owned firm that helps them find new positions and pays a base wage when in between positions.)

Why would they want that?

I think there is a fundamental idea that the only way to measure success of companies is the monetary value to shareholders. US companies optimize for that and they cannot believe other countries/cultures would have a different value system.
