I honestly believe that many decades from now, 20 to 50 years, at least one industrialized country will have something like a Basic income guarantee.

It happened to Rome. When all of their work was done by slaves, the free Romans got bread and circuses on the government's dime.

I think we will reach a point where unemployment will just grow despite a growing economy. And it will steadily grow for months, then years, and over the years we'll go through a long and painful political process which I think will eventually result in a a Basic income guarantee.

At that point a staggering percentage of our economy will be 100% automated.
