    Lol. I actually read the article and it’s Tim fucking Gurner.

    I’ve got friends who work as consultants for his projects and it’s more of a “do as I say” relationship. He buys up properties and then turns them into “luxury” apartments or hotels for his rich mates.

    He’s part of our affordable housing crisis.

    And he goes on to make this statement. Good grief.

    Rich people are loosing the fear of workers that was deeply ingrained in their DNA by the french. They should be afraid again. Maybe pinata economy is the most logic way to go.

    I remember when I was younger, having low unemployment was considered a good thing, universally desired it seemed. Only in late stage capitalism is it a requirement that we have people who can’t find a job so the working class doesn’t get too uppity.

    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 🤬

    As much as I bitch about Lemmy, I am glad to be on a platform where we can openly advocate to put the aristocracy in guillotines without getting banned or otherwise punished for it.
