The author critically rejects Universal Basic Income (UBI) for AI-induced job displacement, advocating instead for structural economic reforms. The text highlights growing income inequality, insufficient benefits, and unstable low-wage employment as key problems. It proposes strengthening labor standards, fostering unionization, expanding retirement savings, and implementing universal paid family leave and childcare. The core argument is that the US must proactively fix economic weaknesses to build an inclusive economy, ensuring a decent standard of living for all citizens, rather than accepting mass unemployment.
