    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 🤬

      The thing is, the workers work for money, not for the employer.

      The employer is just a middleman that can easily be replaced.

      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.

        then I like to think that people would simply eat the billionaires.

        Problem with that is that owning everything also includes bodyguards and even de facto private armies.

        way too many people still think billionaires are awesome.

        Unfortunately you’re absolutely right.
