Just give them the same lecture they like to trot out about supply and demand and how automation simply creates new opportunities. And then have an AI compose a dirge to play on the world's smallest violin for them.
it's not even their fault. societies, cities have been built to produce this kind of people
It isn't anyone's fault but the capitalist class. Still, real life holds no sympathy for people who consider any work beneath their dignity.

They'll be depressed? Tough shit, we're all depressed.

I'm not depressed:)

Specialisation is for insects.
