They was on about that in the 1970s, when the geezers wanted to make a couple more folks redundant, after commissioning a new piece of machinery. Folks have always been good at engineering themselves "out of the equation".

Universal income isn't a new idea. Didn't the Swiss have a referendum about it? The theory is that as industry becomes more automated we should be able to transfer the economic benefits to people who would lose their jobs as a result. Eventually the majority of jobs in some industries could completely disappear but their profits will increase. If there are no income tax receipts how will we fund our services unless we completely rethink the system.
