Yeah, some people make art for money, but there are a lot of people who paint, dance, play music, etc. for fun.

      Because they'll be starving and cold, if they don't have jobs that pay money.

        Just trying to dispel the idea that art is a "job". It can be a positive part of people's lives whether they live on basic income, were born wealthy, or work some job for money.
