Billionaire fascist of the day is from Australia.

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."

@kegill if unemployment jumped to 50% our friend Mr. Gurner would need a lot more private security. When people have nothing left to lose they tend to get really stabby.
@stinerman
Agreed.
Iโ€™d like to think he meant a 50% increase not 50% overall.
@kegill @wonkothesane The horrifying thing is that he's just saying out loud the same stuff the governments believe and are acting on. Our current economy relies on a certain amount of unemployed. And a percentage of people are more at risk of an untimely remise because of unemployment. So our economy relies of people dying. Which is super awful when it's said out loud. Which means we should probably say it out loud as often as possible.

I donโ€™t believe Washington state government officials believe that. Or most in Congress.

Rising interest rates could spark job losses. Is this the best system we have?

Are there ways to dampen inflation without lifting interest rates and causing job losses, asks Gareth Hutchens.
