As technology furthers, we adapt.

metroins
(2,550 posts)4. I don't think so.
It's not like it's going to happen all at once.

(62,276 posts)6. It'll happen as fast as they can make them.
Five year timespan most taxi drivers out of a job? Pretty significant. Another 5 to replace the truck fleet? Not good.

Any alternatives are despotic.

(62,276 posts)2. Obama briefly mentioned it in the last STOTU.
But I agree. Even Sanders would not support basic income in his Reddit AMAs. This is going to change shit dramatically. And it's only the beginning.
