If we got universal basic income, people could do whatever they want. I for one would be content spending my time gardening and trekking in the nature. I despise office work and do it only for money.

It's forcing the rich to give us UBI that is the problem.

[MSFT_Edging]

Sure but UBI would never afford a garden.

It would be bare minimum to survive, if that. We'd need a complete restructuring of society to even approach dignity via UBI.

Unless of course the robots built the gardens thereby driving the cost of gardens down to amounts accessible by UBI. Or so goes the theory.

[AndrewKemendo]

Right! So lets get after it

Start a local cooperative and build value from the bottom up

There will be only just few countries that are winners in this game. Do you believe e.g. USA will provide UBI for other countries or even only neighbours like Mexico? I don't think so. And once there is big unemployment that USA border will be filled even more with migrants or people unhappy with the situation.
