Reply to comment by sideways in What will you do to survive in the time between not needing to work anymore to survive and today? by wilsonartOffic

If anything, this cost of living crisis most of the world is suffering through right now, gives people an idea of some short term pain we might have to experience before post scarcity. Our leaders are completely reactionary, covid hit and they gave everyone free money and are now dealing with the fallout after the fact. The same will happen as more and more people are displaced due to automation.

Yeah, it has been an interesting, unintentional trial run. Hopefully the lessons learned can be applied when UBI becomes unavoidable.

Yea definitely, if we had the production capabilities to soak up the demand, inflation would not have been an issue.
