    In a sense he is right, since more people without work means more people you can employ in a new business, it’s just that this makes the case that our economy is organized in a bad way rather than that poverty is good.

      The context that he meant it was poor people are going to be hungry, so they’ll hustle and start businesses to be rich and successful.
