Unemployment has to jump 40 to 50 percent, in my view. We need to see some pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around
What a fucking asshole! True "we need to show those uppity peasant who's boss" energy 🤬
Sounds like he's mad he can't afford as many yachts.
Absolutely
If you can't put your yacht on a bigger yacht, how is life worth living?
Pfft, you need a golf course on a yacht in a pool on a house on a yacht!
Employee and employer work TOGETHER. I would love to meet this guy in person, real let them eat cake energy. Anyway, where's my guillotine sharpener.?

Sounds like commie talk to me. How long have you been a member of the Communist Party of America? /s

If billionaires ruined the economy in such a way that 50 percent of people couldn’t afford to feed their families then I like to think that people would simply eat the billionaires.
But that’s wishful thinking and seeing how people interact in public and online makes me think that way too many people still think billionaires are awesome.

What do you mean "if"? They're well on the way already and it's getting worse, not better.

Unfortunately you're absolutely right.
Tim Gurner is talking like someone who has never been an employee, much less experienced actual poverty.
You talking about me? Because you'd be wrong on both counts. That's part of why I despise greedy and power-hungry billionaires (but I repeat myself) like him..
Or did you mean him?
I meant him. Apologies if that came across the wrong way. I'll edit my post for clarity.
Fair enough 😁
