It does seem inevitable that there would be a UBI as there is continued centralization of wealth and power (see tech giants for example), increased automation (in factories now but soon in other things), and reduced need for human labor. We either find a way to make those people live good lives (not just bare minimum lives) or we can except destabilization in our societies - as in either people revolt or the country turns authoritarian. I’m not sure where all this leads - like do people have the “right” to keep having children that may not contribute economically but do create an economic cost? But I think we’ll need UBI before we confront those bigger questions.
