One of the primary issues that I relate to a minimum income is the rise in automated jobs. When employers find it cheaper to automate most labor, which will happen, productivity will continue to rise while available jobs will continue to fall. This brings up a real issue, in that some people will not just be unemployed but unemployable. Do you think that a basic income will eventually become necessary, due to a lack of available work?
