Our technology is creating a new class of useless humans. UBI would give total control over the population. Exactly what the oligarchs want. I would suggest as automation eliminates workers rather than fire them & put them on UBI why not have them work less days. 3 rather than 5 days a week at the same income.

If the oligarchs learn, and they have, that they don't need you anymore & given their past behavior, what will happen?
