My point exactly. Although I think UBI is a highly imperfect solution to the threat automation poses towards the livelihoods of those replaced, there isn't anything better on the table. I fear that our government won't take this seriously and reject UBI simply on moral grounds even if all the research and evidence pointed towards it being the best policy option.
