I was once talking with one of my classmates and he said that in the future, there will be universal basic income implemented by entire world. I was not convinced at that time and thought he is just being stupid but given the layoffs happening and massive amount of unemployment, I am thinking about this possibility. What do you say?

Yeah, I mean it's not like a lot of those services are already populated by people who are underpaid and overworked because they love what they do and love helping people...

    You mean people who got the jobs they could get and would prefer not working those jobs if they could get away with it. Trust me, a lot of people working physically demanding jobs don't do it because of their enjoyment of wrecking their own bodies.
