It’s a video of some guy, I believe he was some CEO or politician or something, and he was talking about how there was a group plan for massive layoffs, manufactured unemployment, to keep workers desperate for any job no matter how shit the pay was. I remember seeing this some time last year but I can’t seem to find it. It’s frustrating because I’d like to share it with my friend who’s job is currently laying off a shit ton of people.
There’s probably a few videos like that around. It’s even the US (and probably close allies) central bank policy.
Edit: in fact this article just came up, about a memo from almost 30 years ago talking about just this.
