Interest can be increased. Not just a blue collar issue from decades past, its the white collar future. Its incredibly important to note that the last couple decades of misadventure in analogous situations have failed. The worst possible outcome would be to convince ourselves to reimplement Detroit, for example. A stealth UBI seems likely. Much as America will never tolerate socialized medicine but we love our medicare, we'll have aggressive opposition to UBI while none the less having a stealth UBI under a different name. Note that on a personal level, not societal level, "we" threw those guys to the wolves. Its likely that when its "our" turn we'll get thrown to the wolves. That IS completely non-useful for society and fixes no large scale problems but is very helpful for small scale individual planning. Tradition is throw them to the wolves, and its likely in our lifetimes we'll be thrown to the wolves. So think up personal scale solutions to avoid their fate... No one will be coming to our defense.
