The main focus is technology, images of this type are mostly CEO’s of tech companies that are supporting the idea of universal basic income. It’s interesting to notice that when the article is about technology and basic income it’s never from a general point of view but the focus is always on the opinion of a leader in that field, Elon Musk appears to be the most quoted.
