The Real Numbers: MARCH, 2024
Author's Comments: The point of these employment numbers is the P. P. C. is MULTIPLES of present GDP, I. E. tremendous slack in the economy. ‘Exploding’ the economy with my reforms is possible with the potential for 100.1% increase in full time workers and I don’t know how to calculate whether the G. D. P. could ‘explode’ by sextupling (or more) to about $170 Trillion from present $28.14 Trillion.
These are my private recalculations of employment numbers that changes the appearance of the official numbers.

Can this be my postmortem legacy for the future as I solved poverty and established the concepts of Star Trek Economics? (Right click only.)

My point:
Using conventional economics, THERE NO MONEY! Laffer's Monetary Supply-Side Economics: Give people Money! Other theories are Keynesian, Say's Law of Money Supply, Modern Monetary Theory, Sovereign Money, it'll be alright to “Deck the Malls With Wads of Money” by the Federal Reserve, or the U. S. Economy will dither for the coming years... and keep lumbering with onerous growth.
People
don't have the 'needed' money and the Federal Reserve is the only one
that has it.
I've
changed and advocate 'Trickle Up' Economics. Money to the poor have
a very low 'M.P.S.' and high 'velocity' (money changing hands):
M
X V = G.D.P.
Inflation occurs when increase in money supply, increases demand and no increase in amount of supply. I. e. sudden increase in demand and no increase in supply amount of aggregate supply.
With my reform (right click), I envision a >50% increase in the workforce and much, much more for underdeveloped countries with e. g. 5% FTW. The economic system would require nearly all people to work and, expecting it to work as envisioned, there’d be massive labor shortages. In the system, it is THEFT to take any products without working for it. But when one works, he or she is entitled to the benefits of the economy. There would be every incentive to work and every disincentive not to work.
A real great bonus to the system is that there are no taxes; the government won’t have its hands in citizens’ pockets. The government will have priority to acquire products and merely takes products only out of the market.
If you see a metric that seems indicative, please Contact Me.
