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."

Education. Same way we all learned not to kinfe fight people at the mall.

Right, but it's not personal relations that prevent the fighting but the threat of being expelled.

You are essentially arguing that it takes capitalistic ownership to enforce social behavior.

How do you prevent knife-fights outside the mall?

Nah, I don't knife fight people in the mall because that shit sucks and I have been educated about it. It isn't because society will deny me a Cinnabon if I do.
