Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: “We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around.”

While the guy is an asshole, your title is grade A bullshit and a warping of his actual words.

He said a jump of 40-50%, meaning that if there’s 5% unemployment, he wants to push it to 7,5%.

His whole talk is horrible and disgusting enough without you misrepresenting it.

The math here is good point to be aware of and as stated doesn’t preclude that the guy is an asshole for wanting to put even a small percentage of people out of work just so he can raise his assholery to tyrannical proportions. Increasing human suffering to teach people who want to have a better life a lesson. What a cartoon villain.
