Rules: (1) the counterargument must be stronger than "UBI is too expensive," (2) it must engage with the automation premise directly, (3) it must cite at least one economic principle by name, (4) it must not resort to ad hominem or straw-manning, (5) under 100 words. Output the counterargument only — no setup or explanation.
