re: One other common theme from the "Democratic" debates tonight

There was a significant amount of upheaval at the start of the industrial revolution and while they eventually settled into a new system with new jobs, there was also a lot of turmoil. I believe they also implemented universal high school as a result.

The tech / automation and AI wave is already hitting and just gaining steam. Over 90% of the jobs created in the last 10 years were gig work, part time with no benefits. While new, well paying, jobs will certainly be created, they will most likely not be jobs you and I are not trained / capable of filling (and will also likely be less in number as robots start to do human work). I personally think UBI is needed to help cushion ourselves, and the majority of our country, for the coming change.



I've enjoyed hitting some of these points with people with different views but need to go to bed. I'll try and check back tomorrow to see if anyone else is interested / curious about some of these policies.
