People are so stupid. This is coming and in fact it's the best chance at maintaining some semblance of civilized "society" in the coming decades.
I wouldn't want to see that in the states. I just don't trust a country the size, scope, and position of the United States.
Dudes want this to be Europe so bad without what it means to be Europe.
That being said, interesting article. Its consistent with what a lot of left-leaning papers/articles keep asserting.

What are you trying to say in first paragraph?
Regarding second it has nothing to do with wanting to remake the US into Europe. That's a meaningless statement.
Every time I hear/read someone discounting the idea of basic income I never see them suggest any alternative to the social/economic dislocation that is guaranteed as we move closer to a more fully automated society. There is literally no other option.
This will never happen in America.

Interesting read, however, this will never happen in America nor do I want it to. There's no such thing as free money.

I would rather you tell me why you think I'm wrong rather then saying brainwashed because I could easily say you participate in group think.
I’m certain America will botch UBI... but I agree that not only is it coming, but it’s the best option on the table.

because it has nothing to do with whatever philosophical arguments you can bring up about "free money" or the value of a hard days work blah blah blah.
it is coming because there is no alternative.
automation is going to result in vast numbers of unemployed people w/o any means to support themselves or their families.
even if new industries pop up based on technologies that haven't yet been discovered, those industries will also be heavily automated.
what is your alternative?
Why do yall think Automation isn't a problem in emerging markets or China/Asia?
