Imaging trusting in -- and investing in -- your fellow citizens. It works. https://archive.is/X4nZx
Meanwhile in Ireland, a cultural Basic Income (focussed on artists) has moved from pilot to sustained policy, with the confirmation of an ongoing programme of awarding 2,000 artists €18k per annum.
Interestingly the cost of the programme was less than the benefits to the Irish economy, and the artists in receipt of funds were able to switch earnings from non-art activities to work related to their art practice.
A more general lesson here for UBI?

In this clip I talk about a recent first-of-its-kind study showing that high inequality can negatively impact kids' brain development, such that a kid in a high income family can be impacted as if they were in poverty, if in a high inequality environment.
Reducing inequality is a health imperative. #UBI #taxwealth

Buckminster Fuller stated it most eloquently. #UBI
💯
But my point is that any government subsidy is an opportunity for #greedflation without proper regulation.
#UBI , healthcare subsidies, tuition subsidies, etc. It's all just cash to be sucked up into profits
Love the combination.
But #UBI also requires serious market regulation otherwise #greedflation will just suck up all that money into corporate profits (as we saw late in the pandemic)
Wouldn’t it be something to see this rolled out to people working on free (as in freedom) technology for the common good so we didn’t have to bake in ways of surviving under the current capitalist system into the tech we’re designing just so we can pay the “cost of living?”
“Sustainable” under capitalism has a very different meaning – it means making a profit (even if you’re a not-for-profit) whereas “sustainable” in general has no such connotation.
