"But for every you, there's a me"
Everyone agrees that there will be people who will want to work, and people who won't. The question is what is the ratio, and is it enough. No one can predict this with a high level of certainty. We all just have "a feeling", which coincidentally happens to align perfectly with whether or not we believe in UBI.
- tw04 6y agoSorry, I have a REALLY tough time believing automation can't replace a minimum of 50% of the current human workforce - we just haven't done it because there are large swaths of population willing to work for slave wages. Whether you agree with UBI or not you better have a solution for how those people are going to survive when they are eventually replaced by a machine. The alternative will be endless war and famine or genocide.
