Bill Still Report #130 -- American Basic Income

 Due to Technological Unemployment I see two things that may have to happen in the long term:

2-Continuously lowering lowering work hours until automation makes most jobs completely obsolete.

Considering that technology is advancing at an exponential rate this may have to happen in the next 20-30 years as we approach the Singularity.
