Wasn’t it Nancy Pelosi who was touting about people having more time to pursue their desires?
“Overwhelmingly, for the American people, this is a liberation,” she contended, adding that the monstrous law will give citizens “the freedom to pursue [their] happiness.” http://www.westernjournalism.com/pelosi-celebrates-loss-full-time-jobs/
She said this in regards to the cuts business took due to Obamacare. But, this could just as easily have been said about robots/AI taking over jobs.
So as we watch them ignite the calls for GBI, lets look to some of our conservative philosophers with regards to this idea of ‘liberated time.’ I can’t help but have innate fear strike through my heart to think they will couch this all as “liberation,” all the while marching millions down the road to tyranny. And yes, maybe even the mark of the beast.
With a GBI everything will be tracked. What happens then if the GBI isn’t enough say for a medical emergency, buy a house...oh wait...you won’t get enough to really own private property like a house or car.

Economics aren’t going to change either. Government maximums become real-life minimums. Any price not controlled by the government will rise to reflect the added money supply. Especially rising will be recreation and amusement.
GBI = totalitarianism. It can’t be otherwise, although at least the totalitarianism could have its humorous aspects, like ‘Idiocracy’.
