So not necessary "basic income", and certainly for everyone. The reality is that many of the emerging economies are better (as in "cheaper") able to fulfill low-skill/high-labor positions, and not everyone will be able to transition into higher skill jobs.

Another thing to think about is eventually the higher skill jobs are leaving. There's nothing inherently American about, say, programming, and there's a heck of lot more of "them" than "us".

The only real hope for natives is high skill service jobs perhaps ER doctor.
