Additionally, I wonder if basic income can be effective while there are still shitty jobs. Right now, <i>somebody</i> has to clean the toilets, because there aren&#x27;t yet robots that can do it cheaply enough.<p>If you introduce basic income so that nobody <i>has</i> to do the shitty job, nobody <i>will</i> do it.<p>But one day there <i>will</i> be robots that can clean the toilets, and then there will be no shitty jobs left to do - and perhaps only then can basic income take hold.
