Sure. There are some places where some kind of basic income are experimented (Alaska (very low), Norway IIRC). A big scale experiment in a more "normal" country like Switzerland would be welcome.

In any case, the problem is that we're on the verge of having roboticized (and computerized) everything. Already, most of the jobs are useless jobs. And for the remaining productive jobs, they could also me automatized a lot more than they are if the organizations performing them hadn't wrong incentives that make them perform them in silly and inefficient ways.
