Many lines of work will be replaced in the near future through automation.
I think this creates a stronger case for the population to have a guaranteed basic income than ever before.
Doing so will free people from mundane tasks, and enable them to pursue self improvement, and have more time for family and social activity.
This could also enable a streamlining of how things are run in the world. Homelessness and poverty eliminated. No longer any need in governments for welfare departments, social housing, food banks, etc.
The income tax system could be eliminated and replaced with a flat tax on any money earned. This would end the need for complex accounting and end things like the IRS.
Automation could be a great thing for humanity, if it is done right. Done wrong, it will create chaos and wide spread poverty and increase inequality.
Thoughts?
