“Russia’s catastrophic labour shortage has forced businesses to hire teenagers and retirees to fill jobs”

How is this a problem, exactly? Russian teenagers will get valuable work experience and retirees will earn extra income to supplement their (in Russia not very great) pension payments. I’m retired and feel like I’ll have to get a job to keep up with inflation and the cost of living, and also just to keep busy. Instead of importing millions of illegal aliens to do the jobs we supposedly don’t want to do, we should put our native teenagers and elders back to work, too.

Quite right: "War is good business! Invest your son!"

I hear there are lots of openings in the funeral sector.
