@dsmatthews@mastodon.online Well, *could* be solved. A lot of that tech you mentioned doesn't clearly work. It hopefully will. But we need to be putting more effort into finding out.

Also, I think you're ignoring the larger issue of relative inequality: it's not enough to have a high living standard on an absolute scale. People have a psychological need to be important and valuable. Jobs are very good at providing that; basic income is not.
