I believe Automation is incoming but it's not going to wipe out as many jobs as we think. A focus on social/community workers will still be needed to keep structures intact and ethical. What do you think?

    UBI is certainly not the new frontier in my opinion. Any system which allows basic human rights to be acquired through a marketplace is unethical, and just because the money is just given away for free doesn't mean predatory pricing schemes won't be implemented by the owner class. The only way to ensure that predatory pricing doesn't affect the acquisition of food, housing, etc. in my opinion is some form of voucher system.
