whenever i read articles like this, i can't help but think how much beneficial pressure a basic income would exert on a system like this. when no one has to do your unpleasant/tedious tasks because it's that or starve, there's suddenly an incentive for those jobs to pay much more, or be automated as efficiently as possible. i can see a post-basic-income equivalent of instacart, for example, being the one person who goes out and does grocery shopping for an entire building, but gets a lot of their other chores done for them as a quid pro quo.
