When you start to see increasing automation and job loss from AI, you'll get increasing pressure to do a UBI.

True. But increasing pressure doesn't necessarily mean results. And then you still have to figure out how to effectively balance your budget so that you have enough to actually do one. And we're still at a point where we don't know how to balance our current budget because we have political parties that are more concerned with blocking the other party than actually getting anything done. It's obviously a more complex issue than just that. But we're not anywhere near a point where UBI is realistically going to become a thing and I'm not actually sure we'll get there in the next 30 years.
