I don't speak for the parent, but what they said seems true - Henry Hazlitt covers this phenomenon pretty well if you are ever interested. Your two points I think are also true. It won't be nice to everyone... Such is life. That being said, my practical mind is telling me to get ahead of it, whether that be learning new skills or whatever it takes to stay competitive. If that means picking another industry/profession entirely, so be it. You do what you gotta do.
