Job Creation vs. Created for Purpose

WARNING: This blog post will contain several ellipses, because the information is difficult to connect to a purpose or connect to the next curious thought.
I went to town today, and to be honest, it's not something I look forward to or enjoy very much, especially this time of year. Now you can call me Scrooge if you want, that's okay, but it's not the festivities that bother me. It's the spirit of heaviness and futility that really weighs on me and today was really heavy.
As I travelled north on the highway today, I saw the new highway signs. I have no idea how far north they go, but somewhere south of me and beyond Joplin, Highway 71 is now Highway 49. Yet, I still saw signs that say Old 71 Highway . . . This really got me thinking though and I began rather tongue in cheek, if you can do that talking to yourself . . . Someone was paid, probably many someones were paid to place new highway signs every 2 tenths of a mile signifying the new number on a somewhat older road. Keep in mind though, this somewhat older road is not as old as Old 71, which is now 175, or business loop 49, with it's own new signs.
As I thought of this, of course I figured the Highway Department had hired sign changers, but then someone had to make the signs, and I wondered if those are made the same place license plates are or were. That would sort of make sense, since we have the highest prison population in the world . . . Then, there were the jobs created to transport those signs and before the new signs went up, but to begin with . . . there were jobs created to cover the old ones! That's right, there for a time, with covered signs, people still managed to determine north from south. So next in job creation is the fact that maps and atlases will need to be changed. I don't know much about GPS, but new directions will need to include the old road with a new number. I don't truly know how many jobs were created with this endeavor, but I'm guessing our state must not have economic issues or budget problems. The evidence, at least points to extra spending capital in the coffers.
Meanwhile, when I returned home, I realized, homesteading is such a different concept. I milk goats to drink the milk or make soap. I make soap to keep clean, wash my clothes and have a business for other people to buy soap to keep clean and wash their clothes. I plant seeds to harvest the produce to fix dinner and harvest seeds to plant them the next year to harvest produce and fix dinner. I have chickens for eggs and meat to have breakfast and dinner, and the business I have selling soap and products pays for the feed for the goats and chickens, and the electricity to run this computer, so I can share this information, bear witness unto Y'hshuwah, and fellowship in the Name of YHWH.
Perhaps job creation wouldn't be such an issue, if more of us were busy working at what we were actually created to do, rather than looking for someone to "make busy work."
