I'm in full support of that, I realize the way my post came off now, but I don't see it happening properly here in Canada as society begins the shift into one where human beings start to become obsolete in the working world. That was a defeatist and realistic post I made, not what I think should happen.

It's unfortunate, but here in North America rather than taking a serious look at UBI and other forms of earnings redistribution we'll attempt to follow the status quo which will lead to regular uprisings and unprecedented crime.

And our unprepared response to all of this will likely be to use what little tax income we have coming in to increase police presence because that's all we'll be able to do as a short term fix due to our lack of preparation for a changing world.
