Some people think that basic income is the solution to the problem. I’m not sure. But I’m open to it. Maybe a basic income could serve as a transition for former millionaires and billionaires who didn’t have real jobs. Transitioning to a real job via a jobs program might not be in the cards for them considering their skillsets. But a basic income could help them transition over a few years.

But eventually they should try to find some kind of full-time, real job. Like the rest of us.
