If people are that poor they will just deautomate the machines in protest until UBI happens.
People don’t have that kind of power. Especially poor people.
A person doesn't, but people certainly do. And a small number can do a surprising amount if they're coordinated enough.
The companies will decide the level of automation
But who will be able to purchase what the machines make?
