Classic backtrack by a wholesale narcissist, Marie Antoinette wannabe, whose voicing of their unfiltered thoughts have damaged their profit outlook.

Minerals Council of Australia chairman Andrew Michelmore - had defended him. "Employees have got used to earning the same amount of money but not putting in the same hours"

"We destroyed economic mobility, the social contract, and the planet. Pray we don't destroy it any further"

I expect no less from the oligarchy, especially a fossil fuel oligarch. Remember, these are the sociopaths who own our lives, from corporations to regulators and governments, and are accelerating the destruction of our planet.

They are telling you what they think of the 99+%. You are not a person. You are cattle to fuel their wealth until you can be replaced or discarded for profit. You only exist to generate their wealth and fuel their excess to greater heights. Their only god is greed. They will not think twice about letting you die if it means more resources and power for themselves; many of them would choose to pull the trigger on mass murder than ever redistributing their wealth.

Believe them when they tell you who they are.

Not getting off the guillotine list that easy fuck boy

That wasn't an apology. He believes people are slaves, the only thing he regrets is getting caught on video saying it out loud.

"Sorry all you poors don't like what I said about how you're getting a little uppity, and you deserve to be homeless if you don't like the pittance I offer you." Sure bud, I totally believe you're super duper sorry about being a complete piece of shit. After all, a couple of days is surely enough time to totally reevaluate your worldview and grow the part of the brain that creates empathy.

Fuck this guy. I hope he gets eaten by a dropbear.

I think the news story is not that Tm Gurner apologized, it's that Tim Gurner encountered enough backlash that he felt it necessary to pretend to apologize.

We all know that his apology isn't a sincere recognition of a wrong attitude, or a commitment to change. But it IS noteworthy that he apparently misjudged the public sentiment. What does this tell us? We can say that he probably doesn't give a shit if a bunch of nobodies on Twitter call him a piece of shit. He knew and expected that when he said those things. What changed?

It's not really clear from the article, but my guess is that something almost inconvenienced him. Perhaps he was told that he would be uninvited to some summit where he's on a panel. Whatever got to him, I'd like to know so we can do more of it. It warms my heart to imagine how seething mad he was when he grit his teeth and yielded to the reality that this power dynamic is not exclusively one sided as he so badly believes it should be.

Hes not sorry for what he said. Hes sorry that it went viral and people called him out.

Fuck this guy.

Seasick Steve has a lyric in the song "Last Po' Man" where he says "Never met a rich man that I liked" and the more I read about billionaires, the more it seems he was right lol.

Sharpen the fucking blade

This guy is an enemy of the people. Simple as that. He should be fired and removed.

I hope everything he eats for the rest of his life has spit in it.

I guess someone got uncomfortably close to him and told him in no uncertain words what would/could happen to him and no amount of €€€ would protect him if he didn’t cut it out

Sorry I forgot my mask that day, and you all saw how I really think. I thought now that COVID was over we weren’t doing masks anymore shrug

What we need Mr.Richfuck is more unions and socialism to correct owners attitude

He need to have “I am a rich asshole” embossed on diamond plate and riveted to his freaking forehead

He put the whole heist at risk

Your daily reminder, if any was needed, that rich people are parasites

Apologies are not enough. Dude should be fired.

Must be a bogan. Bogans are the worst. Disgusting dirty thieves.

If you ever come to Australia, watch out for these bogans. Record them coz I am telling you they will steal whatever they see. Worst people ever!!!!

For those who dont know bogans, here's one for ya.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

One of Australia's richest men has sparked a global backlash after saying unemployment should double to remind arrogant workers of their place.

Speaking during a property summit this week, the 41-year-old said the Covid-19 pandemic had changed employees' attitudes and work ethics for the worse - singling out builders as an example.

He claimed that shift is impacting productivity in the sector, which - combined with tougher regulations - is fuelling Australia's housing shortage.

Shifting attitudes toward employment are also a matter of widespread discussion on social media, giving rise to hashtags like "quiet quitting", a term meant to capture the decision to stop going above and beyond for bosses; and "lazy-girl jobs", which refers to well paying, flexible positions that offer greater work-life balance.

Mr Gurner's comments, which were shared by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) which hosted the summit, have drawn criticism on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and LinkedIn.

It sees people on the streets and dependent upon food banks," Mr Wolahan told the AFR.
