20 years ago,, parents made their kids go to college and get a degree. The trades were pretty muched ignored. Now society is paying for it. You have a ton of highly educated cab drivers and not enough skilled trades people to supply the needs of a growing and aging population.

The rest of it is someone elses problem. It's a Brave New World coming?
