UBI is literally the only option in a sufficiently automated economy, and we're almost there. None of the objections to UBI are economic facts, they're ethical sentiments. e.g.
> Working is good for you
> I don't approve of how people might use their free time
> Laziness is bad even though it won't effect me
> God said you have to work
> You just have to earn everything by working even if it could be free
> People are just supposed to work ok?
> Not working is bad for your character
The last one is particularly ridiculous, as anybody who has played Factorio understands. Automation frees up your time for more valuable pursuits; only retarded boomers who have done nothing but smoke weed and watch television complain that "everyone will just do drugs and play video games" because that's all they can comprehend doing with time at all. Nevermind that it's supposed to be a free country, and people are supposed to do whatever they want "in the privacy of their own home" and if that's drugs and video games it's none of your business anyway.

The need for real jobs ended long ago. Technology ends it. Those which it hasn't ended yet, it will in the future. Millions if not billions are employed in "fake jobs". Are they all just lazy? No, and the production to meet real physical needs was met long ago by a fraction of the global population. The problem is debt based money. As long as it exists, and taxes demanded in it, people will be forced to seek out ways to "earn" it no matter how materially useless.

That's because most jobs are fake make-work. Make-work retards the economy. When you shut it down, you boost the economy. Remember, nearly all "essential jobs" which covered just about everything kept going. On top of that, WFH exploded, which is vastly more efficient and saves huge amounts of resources - think of all the gas that wasn't burned because people weren't commuting.
Covid checks boosted this effect by cutting out the fake job middleman. Instead of paying companies ESG bux to hire people for fake jobs, we just gave the money straight to the people.
It was brilliant economic policy even if nobody in government understood why. Powell was SEETHING that citizens were acquiring too much wealth. Once we turned the fake jobs back on and cut off the UBI, the economy contracted.
