Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.

Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

Non westerners never do.”

Growing a garden requires patience. If you get it wrong, you sometimes have to wait a whole year to try again. I haven't been overwhelmed with abundance yet, but I can feel my ease in the garden growing. #gardensky #nature #gardening
