The Fed’s “Productivity Surge” Masks a Cold-Blooded Reality: Humans Are Being Replaced by AI

EDITOR'S NOTES

The Federal Reserve is patting itself on the back, calling America’s latest economic trend a “productivity miracle.” But dig past the headlines and you’ll see what this really is: an AI-fueled blitzkrieg that’s helping the technocrats rake in billions while gutting the American workforce. Jerome Powell says we’re entering an era of growth. What he doesn’t say out loud—but quietly admits—is that companies are replacing workers with machines. This isn’t prosperity. It’s profit at the expense of the people.

The Fed Cheers as the Machines Take Over

Jerome Powell stepped up to the microphone this week and delivered what the financial press is calling great news: America is entering a new age of rising productivity.

The Fed now believes that artificial intelligence, post-pandemic tech investments, and new government policies are combining to create a surge in economic output. They’re even upping their GDP growth forecast for 2026—from 1.8% to 2.3%.

Sounds like progress, right?

Not so fast.

What They're Not Telling You: Workers Are the Ones Paying the Price

Underneath all this talk of "productivity" is one uncomfortable truth: companies are automating their workforce at record speed.

Jerome Powell himself hinted at it—though you had to listen closely.

“The pandemic may have induced people to do more automation, and do more things with computers to replace people,” Powell admitted.

That’s not a side note. That’s the whole game.

This so-called "growth" isn’t being built by hardworking Americans on factory floors or in offices—it’s being generated by machines, code, and algorithms, owned and operated by a narrow band of powerful technocrats.

The AI Revolution Isn’t About Helping You—It’s About Cutting You Out

Let’s be clear: Artificial Intelligence isn’t being deployed to make your job easier. It’s being used to make your job disappear.

Want customer service? You get a chatbot.
Need legal support? An algorithm writes your brief.
Looking to build something? A robot's doing it cheaper.

Meanwhile, corporations use the savings to juice their stock prices and boost executive bonuses—not to hire more Americans or raise wages.

The Fed Thinks Unemployment Will Stay Stable—Don’t Bet on It

The Federal Reserve wants you to believe that despite all this, unemployment will hover around 4.4% for the next few years.

But that’s based on models, not reality.

Just ask the Business Roundtable. Their own survey shows many of the largest companies are planning to cut staff even as their output increases.

That’s the new normal: do more with less people.

They call it “efficiency.”
We call it economic betrayal.

GDP Is Up, But So Is the Divide Between Technocrats and Working Americans

Sure, the Fed says GDP will grow. Sure, inflation might tick down. But that doesn’t mean life is getting better for the average American.

Housing is still unaffordable.
Food prices are sky-high.
Real wages are stagnating.
And now? Your job might be next on the chopping block.

Meanwhile, technocrats in Silicon Valley and Wall Street line their pockets, enjoying record profits while pretending they’re creating a better future.

Let’s be honest—they’re creating a world where you’re no longer needed.

Productivity for Whom?

Productivity is a fancy word. It makes it sound like America is humming again. But here’s the truth:

If the fruits of productivity don’t go to the people doing the work—or who used to do the work—then it’s not growth. It’s theft.

And the Federal Reserve is cheering it on, every step of the way.

They print the money.
They fund the debt.
They greenlight the policies that reward corporations for replacing workers with code.

This isn’t capitalism.
This is technocratic central planning, disguised as progress.
