I suggested it as a solution to the so-called problem of robots taking our jobs. I don't think it will happen anytime soon, culturally we are still attached to the idea that a job is a basic requirement of life and "hell no I'm not supporting handouts to lazy people."

I do hope over time society will adapt favorably to a post-scarcity economy, but I'm not holding my breath either.
