There WILL BE less people like Patrick Stewart or Dolly Parton, given widening wealth inequality, loss of jobs in creative sector, austerity, privatisation of education (especially arts) & financial exclusion. Art of the near future will be less diverse & restricted to the privileged few.

40% more nights in stable housing
85% more savings after 12 months
Direct cash works.

Unions and Universality- #BasicIncome, #SinglePayerHealthcare and #FreeEducation are the response we need now.

Russell, author of »Principia Mathematica« and a founder of analytic philosophy, was also in favor of a basic income. He writes:
»Anarchism has the advantage as regards liberty, Socialism as regards the inducements to work. Can we not find a method of combining these two advantages? It seems to me that we can. [..]
Stated in more familiar terms, the plan we are advocating amounts essentially to this: that a certain small income, sufficient for necessaries, should be secured to all, whether they work or not [..].«](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5pdyzvkwbvymghmbltgzecn/bafkreicm3hct4jatm5a2devx2ybrryzcz7viybvg3b2e2ytw4zxjkbdvpy)

If many people's income depends on doing the jobs they already have, then transforming our society becomes difficult. Thus, it follows:
Basic Income is a precondition for a social and ecological transformation of our society.

According to an external report, for every €1 of public money invested in the pilot, society received €1.39 in return. An external report found that the pilot program cost €72 million ($84 million) but generated nearly €80 million ($91 million) in total benefits to the Irish economy. #basicincome
