That is a reason why UBI is unlikely to be implemented, not a problem that UBI seeks to solve. I'm seriously wondering how arts and social services grants somehow solve the issues surrounding automation and an eroding base of jobs.
Frankly, even UBI isn't going to do it, or at least, a UBI-based system is still going to see massive inequality, but I at least understand the purpose behind it.
