There's plenty of work to do: maintaining public infrastructure (buildings, parks, gardens, etc) and taking care of people (sick, elderly, disabled, young).

I guess we will have a lot more public sector jobs.




That sounds like a snowball problem. Not only will the government need to pay UBI, but also these other jobs. How to pay for it?


* Tax the machines (and/or the increased profits coming from automation)

* Some people who receive an UBI that covers their basic needs may do some of these jobs for a lower wage than the current one
