Keep coming back to this... But I really can't square this circle.

Ok, so UBI was discredited but has come back into favour recently as some rich folks think there won't be the work to go around in 20-40 years 'cos robots will do everything.

Without a wholesale, revolutionary reorganisation of the way the country is run it's currently unfeasible, other than as a possible small-scale replacement for out of work benefits, where trials have anecdotally shown it to work well. But that's not the point of UBI.

If robots do take the majority of human work, there'll be no-one left to buy anything - and that's why Mark Zuckerberg et al.

Meaningful, useful, decently paid work is what is needed.

No longer with us

Never gonna happen anytime soon in this country. The politicians will never change the status quo whilst the general populace continue to comply with the current system.

Same as applies to the voting system; no government ever willingly removes the ladder they've climbed to achieve power.
