    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.

      As long as you commodify my labor, it has value.

      Whose labor generates more value? The worker, who creates the product being sold to generate profit, or the boss who manages them?

        Without the boss, there wouldn’t be the worker or the company. Let’s not pretend that the entire management does nothing.

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

      Elites have been saying this well before capitalism. Capitalism sucks, but heirarchy is the problem.

    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.
