Too bad, so sad. They can adapt or die.
Reminds me of a back and forth I had with an NYT staff writer who claimed it was "inhumane" to expect people to totally relearn a set of skills every ten years.
People seem to forget that how they "feeeeeeeel" doesn't matter. The job market dictates what you do and don't have to do, and we live in a time when you must consistently learn new skills to be competitive.

It is inhumane to expect people to relearn their skillset every decade on their own dime and time. It's rare enough that companies pay for small-scale training - a full retraining is pretty much unheard of.
