SORRY, I JUST DON’T THINK UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME IS A GOOD IDEA

The voters of Switzerland agree with me: a government-guaranteed income to everyone (Every citizen?  Every legal resident?) is not a good idea.  After much discussion about what the outcome of the Swiss referendum would mean, the voters there defeated the proposal by a three to one margin.  
For some reason, though, the chatter about this idea of “UBI” hasn’t stopped.  But now it’s being touted not as a replacement for current government benefit programs, but as a remedy to the supposedly coming forced idleness that the touters say will result from automation.  
Didn’t any of these people see Wall-E?  It’s one of my family’s favorite movies.
