1: Though I dont think fully automated luxury communism is possible I do think that the pace of automation is going knock down the numbers of employees in most economic sectors especially in these coming decades as we see a mad capitalist drive towards efficiency in a fully globalized world. Even without that I think that a decent of those jobs will be permanently lost until we stop being scared of the words "human enhancement" and think about maybe putting limits on AI research. 2: It's a universal benefit that should be easy to implement unless you tried to means test it or something and it's easy to understand to the average person. 3: It will probably help to keep household debt under control with a guaranteed steady income, especially if it could adjusted on the fly in response to a crisis. 4: It will make retraining and educating the population easier since you would need to work less or not at all to pursue higher or technical education. 5: Which is good because it's likely that some jobs are going to disappear and it's unfair and awful to tell people to just when they spent a part of their life getting good at something. 6: Finally it will take off some burden on child rearing and might help avert a possible population crash that could wreck entire economics.

Also so they can maybe stop working those hours and remember what a functional work life balance is like.

There are real costs to bureacray and ubi mostly sidesteps them.

R. Guyovich posted:the only argument against ubi that has any traction is that bundling a patchwork quilt of social programs into one makes it easier to cut but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks imo Says who? If everyone gets it everyone will get mad if they try to cut?
