You’re still free to have a job of some sort if you come up with one, but the UBI is enough to cover all your needs and plenty of basic wants.
This is the dream, right? If we all made the right choices and worked towards the right thing, we'd have this already, as there is more than enough to go around, if people actually cared about this. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel like enough people do care about this, or see this as a dream, so then it won't matter how possible or realistic it actually is, it just won't happen.
I think if/when people start getting laid off across the board, in most industries, there will be a change in attitude. The trouble is, the poor folks who get laid off first, and have nothing in the meantime.
