That’s actually a really cool idea. Like, make something. Anything. And you get paid.

I know some people would revolt against the idea that one should “have to do something to get welfare money” like it’s some sort of thumbing the nose at “welfare queens” or whatever. But no, it has a lot of very constructive benefits.

1) a person feels a sense of pride for earning money for something they created

2) they are building a portfolio of work and training themselves toward perhaps making it a meaningful career

3) we as a society may benefit by seeing some really astonishing work that we would never have discovered otherwise.
