I don't think the globalists have gotten to him but Big Avacado clearly has.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66803279One of Australia's richest men has apologised after he said that unemployment should jump to remind arrogant workers of their place.
...
He has previously made headlines by suggesting young people cannot afford homes because they spend too much on avocado toast.
At first reading of the quote a few days ago it seemed like he wanted an unemployment rate of 40-50%. Did anyone else read it that way?
He basically said that the unemployment rate moving up to between 5.2 and 5.6% would cure some sort of ill that he sees. But 5.5% unemploymentHe proposed the country's current unemployment rate of 3.7% should rise by 40-50% to reduce "arrogance in the employment market". That would see more than 200,000 people lose their jobs.OMG!!! I remember when that used to be considered full employment. Oh the humanity. No word from the unnamed and unquoted governments who desire the same thing. They haven't been media/twitter shamed yet.

yes, "full employment." FJ.
I'm sure those 200,000 people would love to talk to you FJ, so you could help them understand it better.
maybe you should be one of the 200,000 since you understand it. A little pain will be good for 'the economy' so you should make the sacrifice... and I sense a bit of arrogance from you.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
I'm the arrogant one? That's rich. My point is I don't care what he says, I'm not making him out to be a mouthpiece for the globalist hegemony. OTOH, what would you say to employees who think that they don't really need to put in the work? Creative destruction is good for a healthy economy.

And I've been part of that 200,000 before. At least a couple of times.
