I feel the point he is missing is that it won't just be all the builders who are unemployed in a higher unemployment economy, it will be everyone, and that happens when the economy is tanking and everyone is laying off staff. That equals less people able to buy the many houses he is building?
Now in his perfect world where there will be a myriad of builders and other tradies available for him to pick and choose from to achieve the higher productivity he is looking for and by the sounds of it, a more obedient and compliant staff, the building sector has to tank... hope he can survive that... This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.

"Australian property developer Tim Gurner says employees have become too arrogant, and that unemployment must rise substantially to lift productivity, especially in the construction sector.
“They have been paid a lot to do not too much in the last few years, and we need to see that change,” he told the AFR property summit in Sydney. “I think the problem that we’ve had is that people decided they didn’t really want to work so much any more through Covid.” Well - isn't he just ever so lovely! I do feel for the poor man though - people just aren't willing to do much in the way of grovelling & forelock tugging these days & they do seem to have an inexplicable preference for not actually dying of starvation. It was probably attitudes like his which led to th revolutions in France & Russia.

Don't despair, the Barons have a time tested remedy for disposing of surplus serfs. Before they start uniting, engage them as cannon fodder, to be handsomely paid in the new currency after the tumult and the shouting dies. Boldly ally us with either Ukraine or Russia dependent on the cost-benefit ratios offered, and send off our gallant Serf Infantry to the sound of the new patriotic music being composed by the Baronial Music Think Tanks. Those not volunteering for this brave new world will of course be tried and shot as cowards in the time tested way. Their relations will of course not inherit anything as it will all lawfully pass to the Barons under the new laws.
Bishop Brian will bless the proceedings if he knows what's good for him. The Greens will support it as it reduces overpopulation of the planet, and they've been promised new cycleways as the former depressed areas become urban parks. Entropy is not what
it used to be.

LOL R2x1, getting a bit too close for comfort with those inner visions.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

It's not good, my tongue is definitely under pressure and my cheek is feeling the tension.

I'm sure the McBishop will bless the proceedings; he's on the side of profit & likely has shares in arms & undertaking businesses so knows what's good for him. Besides, some young men tend to look rather good in uniforms. At least while they're still alive... My sons are happily, too old to be sent off to 'save the world' & I've made it very clear to both grandsons that if there's ever a war I intend to remove a toe or too so they're unfit. Fairly sure they didn't believe me. Not even slightly patriotic music. Buffy St Marie The war racket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzG_4e8yGew Lyrics
Ooh you're slickYou investors in hate You Saddams and you Bushes You Bin Ladens and snakes You billionaire bullies You're a globalized curse You put war on the masses while you clean out the purse And that's how it's done war after war You old feudal parasites just sacrifice the poor You've got the cutting edge weapons But your scam's still the same as it's been since the Romans It's the patriot game It's the war racket You twisters of language You creeps of disguise Your disinformation Like worms in your eyes You privileged bankers You gambler thieves You profit on war There's less money in peace That's how it's done time after time Country after country, crime after crime You pretend it's religion and there's no one to blame For the dead and impoverished in your little patriot game Honey, that's the war racket Got the world's greatest power and you team up with thugs Make a fortune on weapons, destruction and drugs But your flags and boots and uniforms start to all look the same When both sides are killing in the patriot game It's the war racket And that's how it's done, and you've got our sons In the cross-hairs of horror at the end of a gun And your national anthems start to all smell the same When all sides are dying in the patriot game It's the war racket And war is never, ever holy It's just a greedy men's dream And you two-faced crusaders Both sides are obscene War's not made by God War's made by men Who misdirect our attention while you thieves do your thing And that's how it's done About every thirty years The rich fill their coffers The poor fill with tears The young fill the coffins The old hang a wreath The politicians get photographed with their names underneath It's the war racket It's the patriot game It's the war racket Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Buffy Sainte-Marie
