Guys like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg probably already have self-sustaining system running that can grow and harvest their own foods and don't need to depend on farmers. They can afford solar panels and wind turbines and be completely off the grid.
The 1% is getting ready for the day when automation will take over and they have to defend themselves from everybody else. They're ready for the worst case, like having their own Noah's ark. While everybody else will have to depend on the government who are owned by big corporations and will do nothing but take guns away from people and make us defenseless slaves.
What happens to the top 10% and 20%? You're just being silly
If one has a job that is vulnerable to automation the best thing to do would be to buy rental properties before the inevitable occurs. Automation and robotics will never threaten the cash flow of a good rental property.

Do you have any facts, references, citations for any of these claims?
Being labelled a terrorist is difficult because they are against the majority. When "terrorists" ARE the majority, the dynamic changes. Also, when state enforcers (police, military etc) have brothers and sisters and friends that are "terrorists", the dynamic changes further.
"Terrorist urges" will be easily nipped in the bud. The great majority of the unemployable will enjoy their lives as much as they can and avoid conflict with authorities. They won't be homeless. Poverty level BI means food, a place to live (a room), prescription psych meds, and electronic distractions. They won't be revolting.
Humans are evolutionarily designed to only "work" 20 hours a week or so. Since the advent of farming we've more than doubled that. It'll be interesting what happens when we go back to that.

Never heard of this one. Any facts, references, citations?
Also it seems that farming was an easier lifestyle than being a hunter-gatherer. For one thing farming is dependent on the growing season. There is little or no farm work required in the non growing times of the year. Lots of farming is actually very easy and little work. This is especially true for crops that do not require irrigation systems. For many crops it is largely a matter of planting and then harvesting with concentrated effort for very short periods of time.
