Elon Musk has mentioned the idea of having a UBI as technology begins to take over the tasks that can be done by machines. Hawaii has also been working on passing a law that introduces a UBI for the state. Already we see bank tellers being replaced by the ATM and cashiers replaced by self check-out lines. Do you see the UBI as something we must do in the future? Is it sustainable? Will it create a huge tax burden? Can you think of any real world examples where this works? Thank you.
