I respectfully disagree. Using your comment to say why I am optimistic. Companies are still going to be making tons of money, nothing will change there once UBI is implemented. They just won’t need to rely on humans for workers anymore. They are likely going to lean into automation as a way for them to make even more money. Once an AI worker can do significantly more cost effective work then companies are going to widely adopt them. As long as UBI works in a way that allows companies do still profit then it will happen faster than people may think, I think around 2025-2030 makes sense. The US are actually very capable of doing this and they distributed everyone above 18 payments during COVID. It will surely depend on the administration though I don’t know which side will be pro or anti.

People are going to slowly become full time consumers (if all goes well). This is a reason IMO to be very excited about the future.
