Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: “We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around.”
He is a fucking Property Developer. That is the definition of someone who doesn’t actually do any real work.
We need to see guillotining of CEOs jump 40-50%.
Adding 40% to 0 is still 0 - we need to add, like, a million %.
I hate to break it to you, but 1,000,000*0 is still 0. And before you ask, yes so is 1,000,000,000*0
OK double it then
Counterpoint: maybe he needs to learn that he’d be nothing without the backs of the workers for him to stand on.
For everyone saying “A 50% increase in unemployment would only take us from 3.8% to 5.7%, that’s not bad” keep in mind that 37,000 people die for every 1% increase in unemployment. This man is essentially wishing for the deaths of 70,000 americans.
Edit: just realized he’s probably talking about Australia from his accent. Not sure about the numbers for Australia on unemployment deaths, but I imagine the point should still stand.
Yes, deaths, but also wishing for poverty and misery. What a humane soul.

Wait really? How?
Economic instability has been found to increase overall mortality, infant deaths, fatalities from cardiovascular disease, cirrhosis, suicide, and homicide as well as morbidities, alcoholism and admissions to mental hospitals. M Harvey Brenner has publications studying the phenomenon going all the way back to the 50s if you’re interested in the scientific literature.

This is a made up figure from the movie The Big Short, it isn’t an actual figure, lmao.
Also, this is about Australia.
No, the number comes from a macroeconomics text book written by Gregory Mankiw and its based on research by Harvey Brennan studying the correlation since the 1950s.
You are right it that economics is all fake and made up. However there is a nonzero number of deaths and misery we can attribute to every person being miserable and stressed
Add them to the Black Book of Capitalism
Tim is literally a freeloader making money off of other people’s labor… scum. . .
He isn’t even self made. His grandfather gave him a loan and his boss supported him in his initial start
I’m pretty sure even Adam fucking Smith would think he’s a bastard.
This is the “Millenials eat too much avocado toast” guy. He lives on rage bait and generating headlines.
Yeah I’m not giving this guy a second thought. He’s just an idiot

Baseball bats are easier to explain. Just keep a glove and a baseball next to one in your backseat or trunk. “Yeah officer, I like to go play down at the park with my friends.”
If unemployment hits 40%, there would actually be a revolution (lib, fash, or real). Even this bozo gotta know that. Like, HALF of everyone who wants to work being out of work??? It would be society rending. The Great Depression “only” hit 25%. 40-50% would be actually insane.
So… critical support to Tim Gurner thought?
This is a great point, so great he should win a free ticket to visit the Titanic in a home made sub
I mean this ghoul is just saying the quiet part out loud. Realistically, every CEO thinks like this.
Also every politician
Especially in China.
watches a video of an Australian CEO saying unemployment should rise “huh those Chinese are really extreme”
How about you attack the hexbearians that deserve it, not the ones that are just normal users.
Deserves the Wall.
While the guy is an asshole, your title is grade A bullshit and a warping of his actual words.
He said a jump of 40-50%, meaning that if there’s 5% unemployment, he wants to push it to 7,5%.
His whole talk is horrible and disgusting enough without you misrepresenting it.
So like, how would one go about trying to figure out where this guy lives?
Prole says the concept of private property gave the bourgeoisie bad habits, prescribes a redistribution of the means of production if the bourgeoisie knows what’s good for them.
I prescribe crucifixion for the CEO. Just nail his hands to a cross in the town square.
little known fact that communists love crucifixion. that’s what the hammer is for!
