Thanks to @Don Moynihan I learn that the rich asshole who said we needed to put unemployment up to 50% to break these sassy workers is also the guy who gave us the whole avocado toast meme with a similarly out of touch anti-people commentary. As Don points out he is pretty much accurately describing what way too many of the uber-wealthy think and what is broken in our capitalist system. I bitch enough about how I hate how US labor unions try to leverage an "us versus them" mentality whereas I would like the more cooperative ones that exist in European unions or even better proper widely held ownership of businesses a la the co-op model. This guy points out that that "us versus them" mentality is more than alive and well on the other side of the table as well. Just like the Silicon Valley techbros that he would fit in with perfectly, they should be reviled not admired. #BillionairesShouldNotExist #economics #capitalism
The dismal return of the avocado toast guy
