A pension or annuity paid for by your own effort is not even remotely related or comparable.

I'm not sure if it is funny or disturbing that you believe that. How sheltered, or privileged, must you be to believe it. The automation fantasy - I'll believe it when I see it.
So, in short, as per my post, your philosophy relies on an appeal to victimhood and a theoretician utopian advancement.
For something that's only Apparently 10% away it sure isn't manifesting in utopian robots everywhere
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoYeah you must not work in the business. Factories with workers are evaporating as fast as they can be obsoleted. It's been going on for 2 decades now. The obstacle to UBI is not financial nor technological. It's social. Old entrenched views that haven't been revisited since childhood, and the folks holding those views making decisions. I think a generation will have to grow old and die before UBI will be found acceptable.
