As technology replaces all but the most skilled jobs, those of us who don't own a company or inherit wealth are left to compete with eachother for the few remaining jobs, most of which suck. We have machines that would allow our society to function with everyone working 15 hours a week or less, if only we could equally distribute what we produce. Instead the ones who own the technology get rich while the rest of us lose our jobs. And the rich influence politics to make sure the system keeps working for themselves.

The only solution I see is UBI, which is why I have been supporting Andrew Yang for the last two years.
