"Unemployment has to jump 40-50%. We need some pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around. "

      Google “The Reserve Army of Labour”. Capitalists intentionally want some degree of unemployment to make workers more desperate for lowe wages and easier to replace.

    The joke is on him. I would rather be unemployed than work in an office provided by my employer. If faced with such a choice, I would simply retire early and live off what I have saved.

    In reality, he fails to understand that most startups are remote these days and you will never stop new startups from being created.
