Oh I follow your thought process and definitely feel like agreement is natural. I guess that&#x27;s kind of what I was itching at - that even starting from a blank sheet of paper, finding good, reliable, mature employees in many respects is difficult. I always hated when a &quot;slacker&quot; employee or a habitual &quot;no show&quot; meant more work for me, and that&#x27;s probably a pretty natural condition. Thus when the article does mention - albeit somewhat politely - that some accommodations shouldn&#x27;t be that difficult, I&#x27;m incredulous. &quot;Regular&quot; people already come with their own litany of issues, it&#x27;s just modern life!<p>I can say that for years and years a local grocery store I frequented had a few employees with Downs Syndrome. They were able to perform some menial tasks like bagging quite well. They arrived as a group, and from what I recall, the system worked as intended.<p>On the other hand, down the street was a grocery store that hired teenagers - run of the mill 15 and 16 year olds - to be bag people and possibly a cashier. These were the only jobs the teenagers were qualified to do. I&#x27;m not intending to take sides here, but it does strike me as an economic puzzle where now there&#x27;s two groups of people - the handicapped, and the immature youth - both competing for the same low-level job. That&#x27;s...not good.<p>Add in a 3rd group - the &quot;must work because Social Security doesn&#x27;t pay enough&quot; elderly seeming to not leave the workforce, and it&#x27;s no surprise a consumer-centric economic system like the US grinds to a halt. The natural cycle is, in my view, busted.<p>I was one of those teenagers who was able to get into the workforce early, and I genuinely believe it has helped my growth both as an employee, but also a citizen. I&#x27;m grateful for the opportunities I&#x27;ve had, and it genuinely does pain me to survey the current US workforce situation and lament conditions which I have no real solution to offer.
