Wish we were moving to a basic income program but I'm convinced that we will need one or the other or some combination of the two. Jobs at a community college would be ideal to replace some of the early jobs that would be eliminated by AI.

I think community colleges have been growing and this could continue the growth. It wouldn't seem like a huge change, but the alternative might be shrinking enrollments. The state government would feel the pressure to provide jobs, and this could help them, while doing some good for young people along the way.
