Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.
Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.
The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."
An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.
Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.
The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.
No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.
Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.

In 2020, a Beijing-based company called Suirui bought Jupiter Systems, a California manufacturer of TV walls for the U.S. military. How did a Chinese company buy a U.S. defense contractor? We found out. Story with @rachel_cheung1
@nanomedia1@ShadowofEzra If so, he hopes that would make Trump capitulate. So far, he has been right.
A pox… literally and figuratively, on all their houses.
President Trump is referenced in FBI interview summaries tied to a woman who accused him of sexual assault decades ago, yet three of those summaries are absent from the Justice Department’s public release of its Epstein files. https://t.co/iINXihLTJz

Elon Musk is going to spend the next two years trying to make sure there isn’t a Democratic administration, just like he did from 2022 to 2024. Now he has $85B to do anything he wants—with ZERO corporate or government accountability.
We do not know what we have done.
@afalkhatib We know. At least those who have been paying attention.
The problem is that even the MAGA who know abd are opposed…. Nothing shakes their allegiance … or slavish devotion to… Donald Trump.
Elon Musk is being given 715 acres of land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. A lawsuit has been filed by numerous Conservation groups. They say it violates laws that are protecting refuges and harms endangered species. It’s on a National Historic Landmark.
Former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe says Benjamin Netanyahu is about to release the real Epstein files in an effort to sabotage the peace deal.
He says the material would include never-before-seen material involving a majority of U.S. government officials.
He says Netanyahu will do anything to derail peace.

RFK Jr's sister: At my daughter's 4-year-old birthday party, RFK Jr stuffed a snake and small rodent together into a bag. The children all screamed. He then released the snake into a swimming pool full of children.
This is a very very good question linked below for the Lowy Report authors — and for every ‘Red Scare’ reporter salivating at their keyboard.
Because:
“President Xi has never publicly ordered or stated that the PLA must be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027.
The specific phrasing (“Xi has ordered/instructed the PLA to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027”) comes entirely from US intelligence assessments and public statements by US officials since 2021 when then-INDOPACOM commander Adm. Philip Davidson testified that China could develop the capability to take Taiwan by 2027.”
🇩🇪 “In the event of a war with Russia, NATO will strike Kaliningrad, the Kola Peninsula, St. Petersburg, and the waters of the Black Sea,” — states the Commander of the German Air Force, Lieutenant General Holger Neumann.
In his first interview with a British newspaper, the head of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) noted that in the event of an attack on the Western Alliance, its forces will carry out devastating air strikes on Russia.
In another warning directed at Moscow, he emphasized that in NATO “there are no different security zones — this means that an attack on Estonia will trigger exactly the same response as an air strike on London.”
Lieutenant General Neumann added that if NATO is forced to defend itself, the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Russia, Kaliningrad, and the Black Sea will feel the full wrath of the Alliance — “Germany is ready to fight against Russia already today and will defend every centimeter of NATO territory,” — states the Luftwaffe commander.
This is a strong and unambiguous deterrent statement from one of NATO’s key military leaders. It clearly signals that any aggression against a member state will be met with overwhelming force across multiple strategic Russian regions. The emphasis on unified response and the absence of “different security zones” reinforces Article 5 and aims to dissuade Russia from testing NATO’s resolve, particularly in the Baltic region.
