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... There's been a systemic change where the employees feel that the employer is extremely lucky to have them, as opposed to the other way around.

So said every vicious aristocrat throughout history.

Whether owner of slaves, serfs or workers - elites always believe it's their right to inflict harm on others.

Eat the rich, put us out of their misery.

    He actually says they (the rich owners) need to "hurt the economy". Economic terrorist.

    We toppled Saddam because he wanted to ditch the dollar. I don't think this fuckstick or Elon Marshmallow man have the same level entourage.

    All the Russian oligarchs what is like to have all your assets seized, and just me tell ya, Id suffocate from laughter before I ever gave one fuck about the obscenely rich.

    I'm ready to Make America Great Again, by taxing any and all assets over 10million, annually, at 75%. The squeaky wheel gets it raised to 85% Back in the oft romanticized golden days the upper tax rate was 90%

    Maybe I'm alone in this opinion but I don't think someone should be able to have one idea that sells and then never have to work again. Like, if we all worked 4 hrs a week then fine, but nowadays, with modern tax chattle slavery? Naw man. Edison, Tesla, those guys had to keep inventing. Mr Mypillow can go die under an overpass.

    Fuck billionaires. We need a special forces team for the IRS, they can jump from helicopters with their calculator's ribbon.

    He does not know that he is asking for a general strike.

    But that is what he is asking for here.

    This is an economy that lost billions in minutes because someone had access to a fake blue check-mark.

    Humans like him are not to be feared.

    “We need to remind people they work for the employer, not the other way around,”

    Whelp I guess if you work for him in any capacity you should show Mr. DumbFuck who actually needs who to survive.

    I have the urge to write a wall of text but I literally can’t. This shit is a no brainer, imagine being yet another know it all trust fund baby who gets their way by hurting people into manipulation.

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely

    We all thought @MrBusinessMan@lemm.ee is obviously a parody account that is too cartoonishly evil to be believable, but then we find out that this guy exists.

    "aggrieved billionaire"... If any sane person had more than a billion dollars, I don't think it would be possible for them to be aggrieved. (barring a loss of a loved one.)

    How the fuck are you that rich and able to get angry at anything, let alone complain.

    Fucking psychopaths all of them.

    He's just saying what the Bourgeoisie has been thinking and doing since the beginning of capitalism, nothing new to see here.

    As global demographics begin their decline the value of labour can only come up. Plus the more specialised the workers the more power they possess. This guy is a delusional moron who’s fighting inevitable changes. In order to get 40% unemployment they have to assume massive losses, and we know they do anything to prevent small losses, so threat is more empty than his brain.

    Just read the article, and holy shit is this guy delusional. 50 percent unemployment would cause massive unrest, if not total collapse of many branches of the economy. The fact he wasn't laughed out of the room speaks volumes about these billionare circlejerk events.

    Not to mention he seems to be confused as to why business owners don't already just layoff a ton of people to send some sort of message and put them in their place.

    Hmmm... I wonder why that hasn't happened... its almost as if there was some reason business owners would actually need good workers... That can't be tho, must be something else... 🤔

    Sounds like someone’s previous policies led to a brain drain in their business and now he’s hoping other employers will blindly follow this rhetoric (and shoot themselves in the foot) so he can poach their employees for his company gain.

    I’m fine with billionaires eating each other so we don’t have to.
