A comment on Basic income would not reduce people’s willingness to work. Parent comment
No, it won't. It might be the best way forward but it's not the only option. You could:
1. Give people free housing and food
2. Allow people to work other jobs, even if they're marginally as productive as automation (sweeping the floors, picking up trash, etc)
3. UBI
4. Give people welfare/foodstamps as we currently do in many countries
