    I use to be what’s called a social liberal / fiscal conservative. In the early twenty teens my company was invited to work with what was then an unknown “chat bot” technology. It was plain to see where things were headed. Overnight I was a proponent of UBI. This is before Trump’s 2016 win. My friends and colleagues looked to me like I was crazy when I told them that within 10 years they’d be out of a job. I missed the mark there since majy of them turned into AI Bros, but I was close enough.

    If we do not implement a safety net, REAL SOON, this entire society is going to collapse. There just won’t be enough means for people to survive. That’s not hyperbole.
