Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts experiment has given creatives a weekly payment for three years. Now, a permanent program could be on the way.

    It would be very interesting if any other income were prohibited under threat of imprisonment. It would be a good experiment.

      Do you mean income from sources other than their art? Or any income at all?

        Any income at all. It would make everything easier and more fun.

          What would be fun about restricting people to 1500 a month because they choose to pursue art?

            That can be the most significant and big happening of last decades. And of course it’s fun.
