> This is a policy problem, not a tech problem. People need to be paid a living wage, period

false. no one is forcing these people from taking those jobs (uber eats, grub hub, etc) at the agreed upon wages. tell me how somehow it would be better for those folks if these jobs didn't exist at all given that unemployment in the USA is incredibly low.

Creating a regulatory environment in which a large fraction of the population end up on wages that don’t sustain a reasonable standard of living is a problem for everyone, not just those experiencing low wages. from a utilitarian perspective we could easily be better off as a society taxing tech bros enough to pay them UBI rather than doing food deliveries on serf wages.

Again, unemployment is low and no one is forcing anyone to take those jobs. If someone is that is a problem, yes.

UBI is never going to happen
