You want a pony.

Schemes like a universal income are designed to be buzzwords.

In the real world, economics is the process by which human societies organize themselves into hierarchical structures.

We, as primates, want hierarchical structures.

We fight to place ourselves higher into the hierarchy.

Simply scaling incomes will just lead to a rescaling of prices.

We need to humanize the hierarchy and make it less primate in nature without losing sight of our innate nature.

But face it, as soon as self-driving vehicles and 3-D printing become widespread, two of the most common industries in the USA (logistics and transportation) will be revolutionized in a manner that overshadows the fate of the weavers and shoemakers in the 18th century.

We need to account for that and find a way to distribute work and income more evenly.
