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."

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?
