Rosemary, I have posted the link to the recording as a new post
In the discussion today it was mentioned a problem, how to classify artists. In my opinion we can avoid this question, because we should introduce the Unconditional Basic Income for all people,
Also I am of the opinion, that the Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) should be high enough, in order to get the full advantages of the UBI. If the political will is given, the financing of the UBI is possible. You could use a change of the tax system. You can do this only once. The UBI should be more than just an amount of money, it should introduce a new society with more empowerment and freedom.
