New CPU Instruction

I’m going to propose a new CPU instruction. Purely theoretical for now, but interesting to talk about. At least I hope so.
My new CPU instruction is going to load into EAX the value of EAX from 10 seconds in the future.
Crazy talk, I know. But I’m going to ignore the “you can’t do that!” aspect, because that’s just silly rejectionism. Instead, I’m going to think about how to actually implement the instruction.
Steady-state economy

I’ve been wondering lately about what the steady state of the American dream is. What are the unavoidable outcomes if every player in the game is following that strategy?
Seems to me that there’s a finite number of lawns to mow. There are economies of scale, and it’s well known that when providing a service or doing business, that results in a natural monopoly.
