If AI takes most of our jobs, people will earn less and have less money, which restricts consumerism.

Consumerism can only stay running with UBI and that's why it should be implemented.

Tell your local politicians that measures that give people more money are good for the economy. Maybe that will make them listen.

That is always been true. You don't need the AI.
