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."

In which housing market without limited supply do prices balloon?

Do you expect me to believe that competition doesn't work at all? We started this discussion with reduced wages due to increased competition among workers.

Do you want to introduce socialism to prevent competition entirely?

Imagine thinking I'm going to answer any of your questions while you've ignored all of mine and most of what I've said.

You're on your own now, lib. Let's see if you can be honest with yourself.

You have two rhetorical questions. You must know that competition ceases within an oligarchy and that my point was to argue for competition and not oligarchy.

Thanks for the exchange.
