Agreed, and this is I think why we need to start implementing a Basic Income right away, especially as we&#x27;re automating away so many low-skilled jobs.  There&#x27;s tons of low-skilled people who just can&#x27;t make ends meet on whatever low-paying job they have (today&#x27;s huge housing prices have a lot to do with this), and just aren&#x27;t going to be able to get themselves a higher-paying job, and they&#x27;re in great danger of losing their jobs to increasing automation.  They still have a lot to contribute to society, just not economically.  With the abundance of resources we have, it should be possible for people like this to have a decent home (maybe not in a high-demand high-rent district though) and live a peaceful, enjoyable life without having to slave away at two jobs trying to make ends meet.
