No, increase by 50%, not to.
From 5% to 7.5%
I think he needs to know he breaths because the masses allow it. In this case to they're too busy

We need the kidnappings and murders of executives and management of the early 1900s. We need labor riots and extreme property damage so that we remind management that we outnumber them and have guns.
I would love to help out with this.
With each passing day, it seems more and more likely that you will get your chance.
He has such a guillotinable head.
Yea, dude has a lot of neck to be talking like that.
With such a long neck we need to make it harder in the name of playing fair; A dull and rusty blade with a jagged edge. Preferably one that requires multiple chops to actually decapitate.
And a kirkable neck
I want to work with this guy. In close proximity. Alone. I'd love to have some one on one time with this amazing thought leader. Just me and him in a soundproof room.
We are supposed to work for each other, with each other. The owning class are parasites, feeding from the labor of the masses, and they get most of what we produce. Without us they are literally nothing. If all billionaires disappeared tomorrow, infrastructure would not break down, because it is us who maintain it. We grow the crops, we heal the sick, etc…
I could not be in the same room as this guy knowingly and not assault him. He deserves his nuts individually torsioned
There is a certain subset of people whose continued existence is a testament to the fundamental nonviolence of the human species. People who, by all rights, should have been violently killed a long time ago, based on their horrendous personalities and actions, but when you come right down to it, the vast majority of people aren't murderers, and so they just keep skating by on the decency and pro-community tendencies of humanity.
I could say this about many people. If they are within my range, I WILL dismember them. No way you can be cool with Hitler.
This guy is saying out loud what they've been saying behind our backs at their club.
Make no mistake, this corporate giddiness over AI is all about ONE thing: Replacing as many pesky human workers with AI/Robotics/Automation as possible. Within five years, unemployment rates of under 5% will be an old memory. Double digit unemployment rates will be accepted as normal. Millions of people will be unemployed, and desperate.
Then they will start criminalizing being poor. Too much debt, unemployed, need food or housing assistance? All of that will be illegal. If you require help from the government, you will have to work it off. You will stay in the detainment centers that were built for the illegal immigrants, and are now available, since most of them have been rounded up. Now they can hold illegal poor American citizens.
Those in the camps will be leased out to American corporations under the 13th Amendment, allowing prisoners to be forced to perform slave labor, to cover the few jobs that humans are required to do, that haven't been replaced by AI or robots. Those that resist, will be sent to the new facility being built in Guantanamo Bay, that will hold 30,000 of the most uncooperative. It will be America's CECOT.
And of course, using slave labor means even fewer good paying jobs for humans, rendering even more of them unemployed, and now illegal. The next stage will occur when there are more slave laborers than work for them, most jobs have been replaced by automation, and there are only limited human jobs left. What happens to all those surplus slave laborers, who don't have a use, and are eating, reproducing, getting sick, attempting to escape, etc.?
Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has said that he wants to reduce America's population to 100 million, which is about a 70% reduction. Who do you propose that he's going to eliminate, and how do you suppose he intends to do that?
Yo, fuck this asshole in particular
They need to meet the friendly neighbor Luigi.
The percentage of sociopaths involved with creating a society should never be greater than zero.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
After a rash of breakins, amongst calls to do something about it, we reached out to known home invader Butch Stealsalot for his opinion, Butch? "Thanks Tina. Actually, I think we should be seeing more breakins, honestly. These teach us to be extra vigilant at all times, never leave our valuables exposed, and at the end of the day, drives capitalism forward. The apparatus that we pay for, insurance, can activate and replace the cataloged items missing, thus keeping the flow of goods in a healthy space. These robbers are actually providing a major service to the country. Thank you." Well there you have it folks, from the mouth of the expert on the matter. A little inconvenience goes a long way!
Tim Gurner is an Australian businessman. Could some Australians reel in their crazy? Thanks.

It's shit like this that makes me question that "psychopaths aren't real" article
I don't need some obviously wrong article. I've met psychopaths, I KNOW they're real.

That looks too shiny and new. It should be rougher. It needs to take 3 or 4 chops to get the job done.

Oh, put this guy's name right on The List.
The part I don’t understand is where do they think there wealth comes from? It comes from the middle class buying things. That always has been and always will be the entire engine behind the economy. Without that, the entire system breaks down. With 50% unemployment, it’s gonna look more like MadMax or The Walking Dead. I don’t care how big these mother fuckers build their bunkers, they will only last so long. We out number them a million to 1.
It magically appears out of the aether that is the stock market. They can make it appear faster if they squeeze those beneath them. Lower wages, lower retirement funding, unbundling, rent extraction, squatting, more expensive benefits, etc.
They don’t actually have to do the work of creating anything new. Just find ways to offer as little as possible and take as much as they can.
They almost excluively rely on games gambling systems like stocks and crypto now.
That doesnt generate wealth. That launders wealth to avoid taxes.
They don't care, they just want to make the poor lose everything to them so their petty egos can inflate in their "superiority"
I wonder what those 50% of people who don't have work to go to would do with their time.
I refuse to believe this is a real photograph.
That is not even a 'five-head', that is a 'six-head'. Shame it seems to be empty.
I didn't know biofuel could talk. Just needs to ferment well first, to power the burner.
It is hard to believe someone could be this terrible, but apparently he has a track record of saying stupid shit like this.
Him saying that all the world's countries working towards a rise in unemployment is also factually wrong. My country has record low unemployment, but maybe that doesn't count since I live in a country that generally tries to invest in its population, and not pillage it.
I wonder how I don't see footage of drones exploding people like this, how does security companies and secret service are dealing with drones threats? From the footage of the war in Ukraine it doesn't look like expensive and hard to do, or I'm just naive?
Guys, come on, this was back in 2023, little Timmy was soooo sowwwyyy about what he said!
See? He's super duper full of empathy and totally not doing damage control for saying things actually believe in!
Mr Gurner also previously made controversial comments criticising young home buyers for their spending habits, saying in 2017 that when he was saving for his first home, he "wasn't buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each".
Oh, uh... Teehee?
We need to see class consciousness rise among the workers until we are all comrades in arms. We need to see revolution in the streets. We need to remind the capitalists that without the will of the workers the gears of society do not move however without the capitalists we are free.
I had to check online to confirm he actually said this. He did but it was a few years ago.

Ok, Timmy, we can do that if you want. You first.
