> doesn't directly link labour with income

Who in their right mind would work if they can get free income, even if small, without having a disability or similar disqualifier?

Right now, we are in a worker shortage, and it’s going to get worse as retirements continue. Separating labor from work would cripple living standards and demoralize productive workers.

Lots of people prefer comfort above and beyond the necessity: private cars instead of bus, takeaway instead of home cooked meals, country homes instead of small city apartments.

If this is not decoupled how do you propose people survive when automation makes the vast majority of people permanently unemployable?

Call me retrograde but I would almost be forced to question the automation part here.
