This is how I feel. A lot of people don't even think about this problem. Cost of living increasing with robots taking more and more nominal jobs that the lower class occupies the homeless rate is going to soar in the future. We are already seeing computers take lots of jobs due to the minimal pay increases in several states.
A basic income is going to be the way of life or people are going to have to deal with millions of poor and an increase in crime.
One of the things that bothers me about the saying, "I don't want to pay for all their stuff, I work hard." Is that people don't realize one of the reasons your able to work hard and not worry about your house getting robbed while your at work is that we take care of the poor and disabled. If you take away that care in the future because your too greedy to help out your fellow man, then you end up losing a lot of peace of mind as crime increases because of people having to steal for basic necessities.
