  7. Especially a business where you're effectively a civil servant and the only difference is a baroque mechanism for how you get paid. You don't pay too much taxes - other people's taxes pay you.

    It's not a perfectly normal phrase. A perfectly normal phrase would be "in itself".

    People sprinkle foreign phrases around in order to appear intelligent and erudite; he failed because he's neither.

    You completely fail to offset the job 'losses' you mention with the significant job gains in people needed to manufacture the new technology.
