"What is to be done? There is a possible solution to the economic challenge: universal basic income. Our economy still generates enormous wealth. The question is how to get that wealth to the people who need it.
The answer might be to provide every American with an income sufficient to buy the basics -- food, clothing, shelter and modest pleasures such as recreation and a bit of travel."

Remember when Chrisjen Avasarala met with Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper by the ocean and talked about Earth where no one works anymore and that they're on some universal income? Sounds like a prophecized future that the show may have predicted as where we're headed.
