[–] sock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) im an upcoming starving artist (graphic designer) we def do not need a UBI for artists specifically my peers will take any excuse to not do anything. but a ubi for all would be fire and likely increase productivity in everyway over time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago Graphic designers are not part of this. You guys can make a fucking killing designing everything from flyers, billboards, websites and bloody corporate logos. I know a few British graphic designers. One made a logo for the US government in 1hr. They gave him $10k for it. He lives in a £1M mansion and works from home maybe 4hrs per day. I don't think I've ever met a poor graphic designer. permalink fedilink source parent
