Yeah, I hope so! But I do think even if it doesn't save us money, supporting artists is a good way to spend public funds

I'm definitely not an expert on it but I think the idea is that wellbeing gains are an end in themselves

Anyway I am mostly being pedantic here (and of course correct me if I have misinterpreted anything)

I still v much support the scheme but was curious, as others seem to be, how it had generated such a massive financial return

Societal benefits: €100mn, of which almost €80mn is from wellbeing improvements - i.e. participants reporting more life satisfaction

They used the WELLBY framework which values "a one-point increase in life satisfaction sustained over
one year" at €15,000 www.worldhappiness.report/ed/2021/livi...

Fiscal costs: -€72mn (after accounting for increased tax revenues & lower social benefits payouts)

Meanwhile I'm starting to doubt the convenience shop iced coffees contain any caffeine

nice, thank you!

this is a really good idea! can you share the prompt you used?

I actually think going from nowhere ~3 years ago to 4% of all coffee sales is pretty impressive given how much coffee we drink !

love these! I've decided matcha bowls will be my next pottery project
