People should be encouraged to work or starve.

In our lifetime it's very likely we're going to pass the point where there won't be enough work to go around.

Once a computer or machine can do a job to a human standard, no one is going to hire humans that you need to keep paying to do that job when a company can CapEx the machine one time.

What then?

Millions or billions starve?

A safety net someone can live off is essential because a lot of the world is going to be relying on it in a few decades. And it needs to be in-place and solid long before we get to that point.

Being freed from having to work should be a good thing we aim for, not some impending extinction event.
