Why won't 10k per year help a worker replaced by robots? 1> It's definitely enough for a single person to live comfortably on, though perhaps not in the house they lived in before getting lain-off. (I agree children can be a small problem and the proposal from the article does not consider them. But if you're not working and don't need to pay for professional childcare then the cost of a child per year is only a few thousand for food.) 2> It's 10k per year plus whatever you can earn. If you don't have that pesky minimum wage restricting job openings to only those tasks that the customer base values at >$12/hr, then you can rake in a good amount of money performing tasks that people don't value quite so much.
