I feel strongly that any economic system where automation is bad for laborers is fundamentally broken. Each automation should lead to shorter work hours for someone, without loss in pay, because it's not like the productivity has gone away.

If I start a parking lot business, and want to put automatic gates, am I supposed to pay someone for the productivity of that automatic gate? And why should I have to do that?

A basic income would solve this kind if problem without putting the burden on individual businesses...

I agree with you, I just want to know what he's proposing.

Shorter work hours for who?
