You deflected my question by asking if I am a Luddite which is absurd. Do you not read the news or anything? Automation is increasingly becoming a topic of debate and universal basic income (which is provided by the government) is often justified because the economy will become more automated in future. So please answer my original question.

Yes I read newspaper, still the fear of automation is ever lingering and there are doomongering over it all the time. Doesn't make it likely to happen

Well ok then.
