Reminder that major CEOs have skyrocketed their own pay so much that the ratio of CEO-to-worker pay is now at some of the highest levels *ever* recorded. https://t.co/MCvsICsZce

Wow. Quiet part out loud.
Capitalism raw and uncensored? https://t.co/WiH6Y16SW3

We need to grasp that this dude isn’t some particular aberration within a capitalist system but rather a plain embodiment of its values. Other people exist for his class to use and destroy for personal gain. He stands out mainly by his unusual honesty.pic.twitter.com/3LPsCWFFtH

This is precisely how feudal landowners responded to labour shortages after the plague in the 1300s. They tried force, pain, even executions. They failed. Serfdom ended, wages rose and guilds (pre- unions) began. Like this bloke, they were on the wrong side of history. https://t.co/Nmfu0j0qQb

Tim Gurner's depraved remarks serve as a glaring admission of an inherent structural truth about our society - unemployment & poverty are not anomalies within the system but necessary features of capitalism. https://t.co/hzFY9bkBPS

This guy saying the quiet part loud - the intention is to hurt employees, to make them vulnerable, so that they accept a subordinate place, and the push is for policies to make this happen. Listen and know your enemy: https://t.co/eCH1LUGtgv

How about we start with a small thing - change Stage 3 so this bloke and his ilk don’t get a $9,000 tax cut? https://t.co/6kIbhvv0Mj
