Your comments seem to imply that it is now too late to do anything about not only growing inequality, but perhaps also ever more job exportation to cheaper labor markets, and accelerating labor-saving tech changes--the combination of which ever more observers now think could gradually eliminate existing jobs faster than these "dynamics" generate new jobs, much less new "good" jobs--especially if and as the global human population increases as currently projected (from almost 7.4 billion now to somewhere between 9 and 10 billion by mid-century.

But if you were more familiar with the history and evolution of the UBI concept, you might not need to ask why the same corporate elites who caused the problem might also be persuaded to become part of one or more solutions--and if only out of complete self-interest, i.e. to make sure enough people have enough purchasing power to continue buying the goods and services that generate the wealth the elite think they have unequivocally "earned".-2BC
