Once automation is more widespread however, the savings should be passed on to the citizens whose skills/jobs are taken by automation and that is the time that UBI will be necessary, justifiable, and supportable.

While I understand your concerns about funding a UBI program, there are some examples where it has already shown promising results. For instance, the Alaska Permanent Fund, which provides annual dividends to all residents, has been successful in reducing poverty and improving well-being without causing a significant decline in labor force participation. Moreover, implementing a UBI program now could help address growing income inequality and provide a safety net for those facing job loss due to automation. What do you think about the impact of UBI on income inequality and the potential to ease the transition to an automated workforce?
