Personally, I'd like to see Tim Gurner's properties rise to a 40-50% vacancy rate to remind him that properties require people to be of any use or value.
I don't know how he thinks 40-50% unemployment rate would lead to a functional economy. If half the population can't afford to buy anything, does he really think that's going to be good for businesses? Unless he's an advocate for universal basic income, of course, but something tells me he's not...
And how does he expect businesses to stay afloat with half their staff? Does he believe businesses don't need labor? Unemployment at 40-50% would indicate an economy in shambles.
In some cases they work for a employer. The successful type ones, although I guess im not real sure if you can call someone who can't get workers and employer anymore. So the more I think of it he is right. There are business owners and then there are successful business owners which can also be called employers.
