“to be useful, to produce, to transform, to add value – these are fundamental human drives that people satisfy through various forms of labor….” When the United States was formed, 98% of the population were engaged in self sustaining farming (some aided by slavery), but very little straight up work for wages. Since then we have seen a great many shifts in work, population, technology and just about every facet of American life. Yet, things have always improved on the whole despite many projecting that things were going to go to hell in a hand basket, our current President included. Throughout millennia humans and Americans have always found the way forward. I have no doubt it will continue, no matter the pontificating of politicians or over-analysis of academicians.
Dear Chris, Before Ricardo (and better than), there was Alexander Hamilton, who argued for mechanization in his Report on Manufactures. One of the contexts was his defense of the higher wage levels for workers in the United States. You guys should get to the basics -- Read and review Hamilton Versus Wall Street: The Core Principles of the American System of Economics. Nancy Spannnaus
This is idiotic. AI is going to first replace the vast majority of white color jobs, and then it will come for the blue color jobs. It won't fail. It is inexorable.
And UBI is the only rational response to this sea change in human evolution.
No it isn't, it's going to allow those who adapt to produce better work and it will allow me corporations to be more efficient in their business operations increasing the number of businesses that normally wouldn't have started because of excessive barriers to entry of boring business demands.

In other words, like China does, approvals by the state are contingent on the volume and quality of jobs provided.
