If those people aren't employed by the bureaucracy aren't they themselves going to be on basic income?


Presumably yes (them or people they displace from the job market). But people are only a fraction of operating costs - you have databases, rents, material expenditures, etc. Also in case of top bureaucrats I'd expect their salaries to be higher than BI, so the delta is part of the money saved.


Sure, those reductions in costs are going to hit someone's bottom line.
