I really don't think so to be fair. By 2050, I don't possibly see a way society doesn't fold without basic standard income.No more working until you die. Now you can just keep working
only the rich are gonna have access to this so...
They'd rather make life longer for certain people than better for everyone.
You can make life better, diet and exercise goes a long way.

I truly think once AI automates so much of the industry similar to how the internet automated so many jobs. This will be much greater because it's applying the internet into complex problem solving processes.
It's the most reasonable next shift - why worry about labor that gets tired, mentally unhealthy, overworked, needs a life outside of work, etc? The only jobs that will be left IMO is strategy based jobs, creative jobs, and high skill jobs that need human touch
