I'm all for a "Star Trek economy", but I think that implies having very low costs on stuff, too, such as replicated food that barely costs anything more than the atoms needed to create it (energy to make it would be free/renewable).

But from what I hear prices in Switzerland are very high, and while I'm interested to see how this experiment will play out, I fear they will get even higher because of it, which could make the whole minimum wage raise pointless.
