This isn't sarcasm, but do you have any sources for me to read into that? I hadn't heard that at all.

No, conditions won't only get as bad as people will let them get. They'll get as bad as people are willing to work in to put food on the table in a shrinking job market (which I guess is technically as bad as they'll let them get). It's going to get a lot worse.

And yes guaranteed minimum income won't be a hopeful solution long term, it will just be a stop gap for countries to still cling to hope and avoid societal breakdowns as most lower and middle class jobs are moved to automation in the coming decades.
