UBI. Those people get a check in the mail just for being alive. If they decide to find work as a programmer or machine mechanic or something similar then they get UBI plus a paycheck.

UBI by itself is basically a paycheck for doing what you love. Invent a new product. Make projects on github. Write a song. Be happy. Make other people happy.
