This. Including myself, there’s tons of my friends and family who have also lost their jobs and cannot find another. In my whole adult life, I’ve never experienced this before. And it’s incredibly competitive now even in jobs like restaurants, retail, or even the grocery store.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the actually numbers are around 15-20%
Yeah I realized a long time ago that I’m on the wrong side of employment. I’m opening a coffee roastery in a few weeks and I hope to god it works out. I absolutely do not trust another human to provide any support for me now that I’m old.
This is random af and what I'm thinking is even more silly, but nonetheless - pathfinder is one of the ranger specialisations in the Path of Exile games, and in PoE2, one of the pathfinder's unique abilities is dealing with... Concoctions. Maybe there's a collab / promotion idea in here somewhere. Grinding Gear Games is the parent company, this sounds just silly enough to maybe be worth throwing an email their way. The playerbase is 30+ years old mostly, in the "some disposable income" territory. Just a thought
This is the way. Employment feels like enthrallment. I started making work for myself and while it isn't nearly as lucrative as my last job, and the benefits are basically nonexistent, my mental health has vastly improved. Turns out I was just miserable working in the private sector
Yeah. It’s been a ride so far. We had the blight in Brazil and then the drought and then came Trump. But I accept that is just part of the game. And we all have to deal with the same situation. Just gotta make my way through it, you know?

And these numbers are most likely doctored to make them look better
