For the last three years, me and some other artists have been on a panel about basic income in Ireland. The main focus has been how the artist basic income pilot impacts the broader idea of universal basic income.

We've done a webinar every six months, featuring artists who received the Irish basic income and some who didn't (like me). Recordings all in the link. The last session is tomorrow at 6pm (UST) online. https://www.ubilabnetwork.org/events/basic-income-for-the-arts-in-ireland-from-pilot-to-permanent

Ireland's Basic Income scheme is ok as far as it goes but one problem with it is that you somehow have to be an "accredited" artist in some way. So there's paperwork involved and probably some NGO/QUANGO. Someone in my feed recently went as far as calling it "artwashing." Sorry, I've forgotten who and I'd just rather write this than do the search thing right now.

I know it's often said that we should Universal basic income, and I agree with that. But I'm also thinking, atm, that we should have a similar basic income scheme for supporting open source developers. And it shouldn't come with a prerequisite of belonging to a developers' body and/or getting the right accreditation.

Attached: 1 image This is an attempt to art-wash decades of policy FAILURES. Happy for the 2k contemplated but considering the stats, i.e. how many of us artists/art workers struggle to make the bare minimum, how much The Arts give back and how slow this Basic Income for the Arts scheme is moving, it boils down to being art-washing for crumbs 😒 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/10/ireland-basic-income-for-the-arts-scheme-becomes-permanent #BasicIncome #BasicIncomeForTheArts #ArtMatters #mastodaoine #artists #art #ArtsWorkers #Ireland #WorkersRights

Imagine every human receiving a daily "Climate Dividend" – a digital basic income funded directly by fossil fuel corporations.
The Global Carbon Coin (GCC) makes it possible: Market-based, fair, and without political bans.
💰 Climate protection + social justice + an ecological repair fund.

Suomen Wikipedian artikkeli perustulosta on tavan mukaan tynkä, ja kannattajina mainitaan Myskiä, Zukkerperiä ja muita taattuja dis-attraktoreita. Englamerikkalainen tietää paremmin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income, ja kannattajalistakin on kiintoisampi, jos joku sellaisten perusteella asioita tapaa arvottaa ad hominem -virhepäättelyn riskillä https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_advocates_of_universal_basic_income

Vasemmistoliiton Jokelainen arvioi, että nyt tarvitaan perustulo korvaamaan vanhentunut sosiaaliturvajärjestelmä: pitää tehdä radikaali muutos pienen viilaamisen sijaan. Vasemmistoliiton oululaisen kansanedustajan

Which basic income model works best?
VAT? Hits poor households hardest & collapses in crises. 📉
Financial transaction tax? Too easy to circumvent & low revenue. 📉
The #AoS-UD instead: taxes money hoarding & land rent – crisis-proof, labor-friendly, ecological. 🌱
