this is a good collection of thinking around Universal Income/Negative income taxation or other ideas to address the coming wave of job losses due to automation.

Total BS..."automation" not mentioned one time in the link you posted. Re-title this thread as 'Fake News'...this is your first and last warning. Poised to Permaban.

Call me a pessimist ... but I don't think universal basic income stands a snowball's chance in Hell of taking root in the United States. No matter what the unemployment rate climbs to.

ummmm, Pud, we'd already discussed the VERY REAL fact that automation is going to remove about 50% of all work from the economic system, thus necessitating SOME recourse by which the investors don't simply leave the rest of the population starving. Hence the later link, discussing possibilities, as Zuckerburg alluded to in a recent commencement address.

back to automation. Be assured, these folks know the true situation.

Don't know if you've seen this one, Slick. It's a good read.

Automation has made a worker between 100 and 100,000 times more
efficient over the last two hundred years. The catastrophe is just a Libtard fantasy.

To work in manufacturing is has already changed the role
of a worker into being maintainers and programmers.

Even in small machine shops there are few people
running manual machinery. Most of them using
patterns and drill jigs.

Die making is still an art, but the die parts
are mostly made on NC machines.

True. But due to automation 50 workers can be replaced by 1 maintainer or programmer.
