People are talking about Universal Basic Income, to offset the loss of jobs to automation. This is assuming that the benevolent business community (long time standard bearers of fairness and human compassion) won't simply continue the obscene concentration of wealth, leaving everyone but a very few in wretched living conditions. You know, like ALL OF HISTORY.
