AI, PROSPERITY AND JOBS

Prosperity in the USA is, remarkably, broadening. American Enterprise Institute (AEI) finds 31% of Americans are now upper middle class, up from 10% in 1979, and its share of income doubled. Also tech job openings have doubled since mid-2023 to a three-year high, quietly refuting the obituaries for software engineering. AEI finds that the “core” middle class has shrunk, but only because more families have become upper-middle class over time. AEI finds that the “core” middle class has shrunk—but so too has the share of Americans with income too low to reach the middle class. The shrinking core middle class is due to a booming upper-middle class. Only the relatively worse-off parts of the middle class have shrunk—and by less than the upper-middle class has grown.

The US jobs report on Friday was surprisingly strong. That’s not the only part of the job market that’s doing better than expected.

My recent post Generative AI is About to Cause Humanity to Fork is one of my most looked at posts. It is about an article by Peter Diamandis of YouTube Metatrends and Moonshots fame. Let me quote the opening paras of his article “Humanity is About to Fork”.

The choices you make in the next five years will determine which branch of the human story you inhabit. Here’s what’s coming, and how to position yourself on the right side of every fork. Peter addresses five major splits that will cleave humanity into groups with dramatically different futures, capabilities, and lifespans: Fork 1. Creators versus Consumers, 2. Fork 2. Longevity Escape Velocity, Fork 3. Brain Computer Interface, Fork 4. Earth versus The Stars, Fork 5. Digital Consciousness (i.e. uploads). Peter then explores the bigger picture and how he intends to face each of these forks. It is a fascinating article. If you have not seen it I suggest you take a look.

Satan has done a devastating job of changing the world’s understanding of the true history of the Cosmos. He has used people like Charles Darwin to convince the world that it did not need a Creator. A Big Bang and Natural Selection is all you need.

When you look at the complex laws that govern the universe and just the complexity of the human body it is difficult to comprehend how scientists cling to the theory of evolution. Fortunately, many scientists like Dr Dean Kenyon, former Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University and in 1969 was co-author of the book Biochemical Predestination which was adopted in the USA as a graduate textbook and was regarded as the seminal work on the naturalistic formation of living cells from chemicals of the earth. By the 1980’s Kenyon came to the conclusion that intelligent design was needed for life’s beginning. He said the discovery of DNA and the electron microscope rang the death knell of evolution. Why? Because DNA is complex information which cannot be made from matter or energy. Its only source in intelligence of the highest order. Also, the electron microscope revealed that inside every cell there are complex machines to make the chemicals the body needs and transport devices to move them around and they are all controlled by the information on the DNA . There is no way this can evolve by random chance. It is nonsense. Go to http://www.creation.com and http://www.answersingenesis.org for more information on creation versus evolution.

AMAZING, TRUMP ALREADY DELIVERING BIG TIME ON HIS PROMISES.

Crumbling under the pressure of President-elect Trump, The Ford Motor’s CEO announced he would not be moving factories to Mexico. (Bloomberg News 11/17/2016). Abruptly, Apple’s CEO announced that his company was considering moving all its IPhone manufacturing to the United States. (Opposing News 11/18/2016)

“United Auto Workers leaders huddled with Ford Motor Co. executives today after the union was caught off guard by President-elect Donald Trump’s tweet last night, he helped prevent another Ford model going to Mexico … Ford did not inform the Union of its long-term plans for the MKC before the tweets went out Thursday night, Dunn said..”

“After Trump’s tweets, the company acknowledged for the first time it had been considering moving production of the MKC to Mexico, allowing the plant to boost output of the Escape, one of its hottest models. After talks between Executive Chairman Bill Ford and the President-elect, Trump, the automaker decided to keep building the MKC in Louisville after the UAW’s current contract expires in 2019.”

Apple may soon start producing IPhones in the U.S.A., as a result of Donald Trump’s win in the presidential election … Apple asked Foxconn and Pegatron, the two IPhone assemblers to look into making IPhones in the U.S.A.” Foxconn, which puts together more than 200 million IPhones every year in Taiwan complied with the request saying making IPhones in the U.S.A. will more than double the cost.” the source said.

It appears, Donald Trump’s harsh words during the campaign are now having the desired effect. What did Trump say repeatedly about Apple? “We’re going to get Apple to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries,” Trump said in January, adding he would do so by imposing tariffs on all American companies that manufacture their products abroad. “How does it help us when they make it in China?” he said in March.

Perhaps America will develop that unprecedented prosperity foretold in Revelation just before God annihilates it. What God’s Word prophecies for these last days, will play out exactly as foretold. Are we in step, with what God is calling His church to do in these “last days”
