Please stop with the baseless and inane fear mongering.
This "universal basic income" scam is just another scheme to get the people hopelessly dependent on the government. It's ONLY a tool for controlling the masses, nothing more. It will neither deal with wealth inequality, nor provide a mechanism for subsistence in a world taken over by automation.
The scam relies on the faulty understanding of the masses that increased automation means less work for the common man. We have 7x'd our population since the industrial revolution, yet here we are ... still plenty of jobs. Population has roughly doubled since the proliferation of the modern personal computer, and yet ... still plenty of jobs.
If you believe that "artificial intelligence" is a credible threat to the job of the common man, or even the entrepreneur, I'd ask that you go investigate a phenomenon called adversarial attacks. There is currently no defense against this, no serious proposals in the works, and I'm not hopeful that we'll have a robust one in the near future, given the susceptibility of even the human brain to optical illusions. If mother nature can't solve the problem in a billion years, I'm doubtful that we can in the next few.
The reality is that good paying jobs are far more endangered by globalism and importing cheap third world labor than it is automation. I wonder why it is the case that there is such a strong overlap between those who promote a UBI as well as promoters of an open borders immigration policy?
