Get my UBI bucks, because blue collar jobs alone aren’t enough to sustain our current economic system. If all white collar work is automated, those employees get let go, they’re not spending money, all businesses receive less money, then they have to let people go and now we’re in a quagmire where so much is automated but no one has disposable income.

That’s not a win for anyone. The real shot callers in America have their wealth primarily from equity ownership. If no one’s purchasing products/services, then they’ll have very little power since their wealth is tied to consumers buying products/services from the companies they own.

I don’t see how else we can bridge the gap from our current economic system to a post scarcity/highly automated economic system without UBI.
