"I don’t have an answer for this, but I don’t feel too badly because the best economists don’t have one either. It may be that in the medium-term (dystopian) future, there really will be a “minimum payment” from the government. In reality, we actually have this now, disguised as the network of safety nets, (theoretically) paid for by taxes from the work"

So, are you saying you approve? That's ok with you? Because from your timeline, I'm not strongly getting the idea you disapprove with McGovern's 1972 Democrat Platorm:

"Probably the most liberal [platform] ever adopted by a major party in the United States". It advocated immediate withdrawal from Vietnam, amnesty for war resisters, the abolition of the draft, a guaranteed job for all Americans (it offered to "make the government the employer of last resort"), and a guaranteed family income well above the poverty line." - Wiki

Do you intend to vote for Trump in the US November general election?

That was almost 45 years ago, when technology and the economy were so different that it was almost an entirely different civilization. I don’t “approve” of what amounts to welfare, I haven’t seen anything in the 21st century that I really like, but this is the reality. There simply may not be enough honest work to go around in the future. It isn’t true now, but it may be true in a future on the horizon.
