Nice to see you addressing the need to analyze the inevitable economic consequences of AI and the monetary consequences as well. UBI/High UBI is fine and good, but the way to turbo-charge that form of Monetary Gifting would be to implement a 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer retail sale and also at the retail point of Finance (your monthly payment for any money financed).

As for the American acculturated bias toward the necessity of employment being a problem IMO thats probably not that relevant. Why? Because when the commercial slump caused by AI puts 70-80% of the work force out of a job the tech bros and other oligarchs, who have a well honed survival instinct, will probably quickly realize that objecting to the above forms of Monetary Gifting to half of the general populace will result in a pitch fork in the ass if not a guillotine…for them.
