When parents and adult children disagree about the need for universal basic income

My adult kids think UBI is obviously necessary and keep sending me articles about automation taking jobs, but I worked my whole life without any safety net and don't understand why that's suddenly not good enough. We love each other but this disagreement is making family dinners tense and I feel like they think I'm selfish or out of touch.
