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 🤬

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.?

Employee and employer work TOGETHER

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

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

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

When we have nothing to lose, then we have no problem eating the billionaires.

Tim Gurner is talking like someone who has never been an employee, much less experienced actual poverty.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] rainynight65@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I meant him. Apologies if that came across the wrong way. I'll edit my post for clarity.
