What the WHAT??

I posted in the Basic Income thread that we needed a discussion on this topic.

Maybe we can start with people posting their intuition o. This.  Then I will correct you. 😀😀😀

Jk

People will probably always have jobs, they'll just change.  It doesn't matter if robots make things if people don't have income to buy them.

People will work more in sectors where human-to-human contact is preferred, like services, sales, law, healthcare, teaching etc.

I assume any transition will be very messy though, worse than the hollowing of the manufacturing sector.  It will take generations to change education and career patterns while people stuck with outdates education and skills will be left behind, just like in manufacturing.
