Swiss may grant unconditional income for all

What if he's right though? How will we deal with automation? More and more people will be out of work as time goes on. How can free-market Capitalism work when most people aren't needed for work anymore?

That is a good point. It is probably a better idea to reasonably tax the automated mass production, give people a live-able salary, than hire a bunch of government bureaucrats, that supposedly are there to administrate the welfare aparatus, but actually are more of a hassle in people's lives. A lot of people will still work, but maybe they choose to do work that are improving theirs and others around them lives, building boats, houses, gardening, sewing clothes, cooking, brewing beer, theater, alternative medicine, etc. I think a lot of human potential is tied up in fear of losing ones livelihood, and leads us to destructive ways...
