Eventually yes, but I was speaking of the transition period that the OP was asking about... what will happen while businesses still need labor? That is, before we've successfully automated all of the low skill human labor? Well, until then, we need people to work, so the UBI would have to be below a livable wage.
- ianai 10y agoNot at all. People will still want to work. Everyone wants better than they currently have. so you can afford food and rent. you may not need it but you still want a cell phone, Internet, a car, etc etc. the point is to ensure a basic quality of life. The rest is up to the individual. Plus after UBI people will be much more open to working fewer hours or with no benefits. It's a very strong positive externality on labor flexibility.
