I read a SF story long ago describing a future world where everyone gets paid a “Basic Citizen’s Stipend,” or “BCS”.

People refer to those letters as standing for “Born, Collect, Stagnate.”

I wish I could remember the title of that story. Googling those words finds nothing.

I should say I think there will be market, possibly a large e one, for human made goods. My corollary is the guys who still build handmade bicycles and shoes. The machine made versions may actually be better but people like the hand made stuff.
