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.

    This is amazing. I think moving past the current class war era will take small, incremental steps like these. I’m almost tempted to move to Ireland. The article doesn’t mention whether this income is reserved to irish citizens.

      You have to be a member of an artists’ association, but probably.
