I fully agree that the author of the piece should volunteer for a low paid job of a janitor. They are becoming the elderly population, if somebody doesn't sacrifice themselves what oh what will happen?

Sure, there is a lack of young workers for janitorial positions, but not everybody is a boomer with a home and family that can afford (let alone thrive) to be janitor.

There are only three possible scenarios: either the wage goes up, the job gets automated (eg robots) or the job ceases to exist.

Stop making op-ed pieces from your pedestal, screaming there is an issue, when you're directly responsible for the issue, hoping that somebody else will bail out your ass. Op is a lender and a banker, work with the companies you're financing to increase the wages and make the jobs attractive.

Thought so.
