That is a good point, if partial economy is automated that leaves partial money available to handout as ubi.

I had dismissed ubi because that is something that would only happen if there is enough pain on the consumers for them to give handouts, I guess this did happen when covid started up but that wasn't seen as a similar function as ubi...which actually I read about some tests of ubi awhile back and they seemed to do what we think they do but the tests seem to make that not so obvious.
