If robots do all the work (which is ultimately what all the lost jobs are about), why would UBI be unsustainable at scale?

  Because the rich and powerful people who will reap the most benefit from all the automation will not redistribute the wealth to the now-useless ex-labor force.

    Oh, they will. The only question is whether this will happen sooner and voluntarily, or later with torches and pitchforks.

      Better bring out the pitchforks earlier while we still have access to them!!
