Elon Musk just used a joke to perform an autopsy on the American economy.
Two economists go for a hike. They find a pile of shit. One pays the other $100 to eat it.
They keep walking. Find another pile. The second economist pays $100 back to eat that one.
They stop. Neither man gained a dollar. Both ate shit for nothing.
But on paper they just generated $200 in GDP.
Musk: โThat basically would count as a job. This is to illustrate the absurdity of economics.โ
That is not a punchline. That is the operating system of the federal government.
Every time a politician celebrates โrecord job creationโ this is what they are describing. Not output. Not value. Not progress. Motion.
The entire bureaucratic machine exists to manufacture friction and then invoice for it.
Compliance layers built to justify the next compliance layer. Oversight committees that produce nothing but the need for more oversight. Consulting firms hired to audit the work of other consulting firms.
Trillions circulating through systems that have never produced a single thing you can hold in your hands. But the GDP number ticks up. So everyone applauds.
The shit gets eaten. The scoreboard moves. Nobody asks what actually got built.
This is why Washington treats AI like a five alarm fire.
AI does not play the friction game. It does not form a committee. It does not schedule a review. It does not file 400 pages of paperwork no one will ever read.
It just solves the problem.
And that is the one thing the machine cannot survive.
The government does not tax results. It taxes the process. The longer the process, the deeper the cut.
AI compresses a ten day workflow into seconds. There is nothing left to bill. Nothing left to tax. Nothing left to skim.
So they will spend the next decade warning you that AI threatens the economy.
What they will never say is what it actually threatens.
The illusion that activity equals progress.
The $200 economy where both men ate shit and called it a job.
The machines are not coming for your purpose.
They are coming to prove that half the economy never had one.
The Miracle Prayer
Lord, Jesus, I come before You, just as I am.
I am sorry for my sins,
I repent of my sins,
please forgive me.
In Your name,
I forgive all others for what they have done against me.
I renounce Satan,
the evil spirits and all their works.
I give You my entire self.
Lord Jesus, now and forever,
I invite You into my life Jesus.
I accept You as my Lord and Saviour.
Heal me, change me,
strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit.
Come Lord Jesus,
cover me with Your precious blood,
and fill me with Your Holy Spirit,
I love You, Jesus.
I praise You, Jesus.
I thank You, Jesus.
I shall follow You every day of my life.
Amen.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us
For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved
The moment everything changed.
โFather, into Your hands I commit my spirit.โ
The cross wasn't the endโฆ it was the beginning of everything.
Grateful beyond words this Good Friday. ๐
Jaden Ivey posted a new video on Instagram praising God and standing firm:
โGlory to God. Glory to God. Blessed are those who fear the Lord. Blessed are those who are pure in heart. Blessed are those who thirst and hunger for righteousness.โ
Amen! ๐๐ฉท
Friends,
Today is Palm Sunday, the day our Lord Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9.
May you feel the love, joy, and peace of God as you meditate on the Lord and all He has done for us, His children.
Let us pray for our leaders, for the people of our country and around the world, that hearts would turn toward God. Pray that the evil in this world would be eradicated, and that the goodness and faithfulness of our God would shine brightly through our livesโso we may be a light in the darkness.
And donโt forget to invite your friends and family to church! โ๏ธ
