UBI is just a way for techbros to help quell the eventual calls for their heads. It will effectively be another way to cut off the masses from ever leaving their societal strata. I guess its already rare enough that people escape their parents income level but at least with tech there was some hope because the elites didn't see the technology coming. Now that they are awake they will do everything they can to close that door. UBI is one method. I don't have a good solution to the problem that UBI solves though. :/
