Someone argued with me, that he would stop working if he got a basic income. I answered him, that this was totally fine when before he did a job he only worked in because of an extrensic motivation. Many of such jobs are senseless. There are many people in Germany forced to work a job just so that they wouldn't fall into the social security system.
Sorry, if I am becoming pessimestic now. But I think we will never see a change by politicians or by a change of thinking in the people. What we will see is a technical revolution. Sooner or later there will be so many people without work. That is going to set free so much energy that it might weakens the political elite and awakens it of their "Cinderella's sleep". Someone will have to find a solution. Maybe not now but maybe in 10 years.
