That's a pretty big assumption given the current status of welfare in the US.
She stays on her job for the next 2-3 years until they figure out how to automate her job.
Then for the next 30 years she is destitute or working a more menial job until the number of marginalized citizens become a large enough to pass a basic income bill.
Then all the people in control of these automated industries ask themselves, why am I going to pay 20% more tax for these deadbeats when I can move to Ireland or Dubai?
We halt any technological improvements which would result in lost jobs. Is there any historical precedence for such a thing?
What I do know though, is wanting someone's job to be automated soon so she can pursue her hobbies on some personal hope for a basic income, which there isn't a historical precedence for either, is not something she should be excited for.
