UBI economically unfeasable. And ok, you give some shit 2000 USD to every American to sit on their ass. You think humans are engineered to sit still? If there are no problems, human will invent them. And what about other locales, what about Kazakhstan, what about Yakutia, what about Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Philippines. They gonna do 2000 USD airdrop too? No, they would get constantly mogged and beaten down by richer countries, perhaps invaded. Do you think they gonna sit on their ass? No! They would start wars and crimemaxxx. Why? Because: a) nothing to lose b) it is far more preferable for a human to be shot in the face than sit and do literally nothing forever. There have been actual studies on this.

Basically, buckle up and start socializing A LOT (iykyk), because to survive this one, you better be allied with one fraction ir another.

This will only get worse and expand to other industries.

With no jobs left, most people will probably sign up for military (need bodies when run out of robots+EMT weapons+kessler syndrom yadayada) or/and start organizing massive revolutions in areas most affected (if they got the guts).

If not this, the other path leads to starvation, mesninglessness, getting permamogged my tech elite shareholders and eventual DEATH and end of your bloodline (no money = no family). And now tell me, is life like that worth living?
