RE: Universal Basic Income is our future, at least according to Mark Zuckerberg

in #basicincome7 years ago

I agree with your position on Government. And bots can't do everything yet. But we are getting very close to the time when automation/bots will overtake a great deal of jobs. I think it is healthy to have the discussion now as opposed to having complete chaos due to massive job loss.

Automation has yet to create systemic unemployment. Aside from short-term adjustments in the labor force allocation, it does not reduce employment at all. Umemployment problems are political, not economic or technological.
