A lot of people are talking about "basic income" as a solution. Just give everyone a fixed amount of money each month, without means-testing. Then maybe the machines can make the world a utopia for everyone, instead of having a few people at the top who own everything while the masses are desperate.

Personally I think we should pay for it, initially, with a carbon fee, and kill two birds with one stone.
