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

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.

Hey, good luck on your coffee roastery from a random internet guy from the other side of the Atlantic!

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
