RE: It is not often that I agree with the politics of Mark Zuckerberg but he is correct on basic income

I think a universal basic income can potentially have some support especially in light of advancing AI and automation technologies. These may cause workers to lose their jobs before they can be retrained for other fields. A universal basic income can help greatly during this transition. Still, I think some more data is needed on this. I read recently that Finland has started a trial on this for some of its' unemployed citizens. I am very curious to see what would be the results from this trial.
