Ahh yes the Alex Jones Strategy:

Claim something is happening or about to happen then

They suddenly have to care for a parent, or sibling or child.

Jobs are suddenly available or not available, you might have to move cities, or across countries.

Everyone is doing things at their own pace. There is no reason to compare your journey against anyone else, because there are so many factors that got you where you are, and so many that will get your where you’re going, comparisons are worthless.

They can, but choose not to

Worst quarter since 2022……so far!
