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."

    Yes, let's also outsource the revolution.

    Will China take over America? If not, why would China change the economic system in the West? Without the petrodollar, there should just be significantly less resources available.

    Yeah, eventually. Resources would stay the same. Money is fake. That would have no reason to change anything.

    Money is not fake in international trade. Resources can be delivered to other countries.
