You'd need a scanning electron microscope to detect the tiny violin playing for people complaining about labor oversupply while making integer multiples of the median US household income building up an industry premised on automating away everyone else's jobs.

Stop worrying about your wages! Your job will eventually be automated away. A basic income is sure to protect you.

There are already places that require tons of experience to even get an IT job. Complete automation and centralization of IT jobs isn't required to strongly impact American lives.

Not everyone lives in a tech hub of the country.

"You'd need a scanning electron microscope to detect the tiny violin playing for people complaining about labor oversupply while making integer multiples of the median US household income building up an industry premised on automating away everyone else's jobs."

"A basic income is sure to protect you."

Given the current political climate in the US, I can only say bullshit.
