For (selected) artists in Ireland there is some good news; the piloted basic income scheme is to be made permanent... but, the successful recipients can only gain the support from every other three year cycle (i.e. support for three years then three years without); no doubt to 'encourage' then to capitalise on the first three years to gain over art-related income streams?
Still which not UBI, this is yet more evidence of how basic income(s) *do* work!
