Sure, automation without basic income implementation policies may lead to cataclysmic wealth imbalances, but those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw strawberries.

Step 1: Feed the rich with fancy vertically farmed strawberries till they're fat and juicy

Step 2: eat the rich.

It's a simple plan. It's a good plan.
