"Elon Musk Proposes 'Universal High Income' Payments To Address A.I. Driven Job Displacement"

Many questioned whether the federal government possesses the capability to administer such a program efficiently without succumbing to waste, fraud, or political manipulation. Others worried that unconditional payments could undermine work ethic, diminish personal purpose, and damage social cohesion." FULL STORY at above link.
