Not UBI
Until they actually start calling themselves an aristocracy?
I've been asking that question for over 10 years, and the goalposts keep moving.
I'd support Mozart or Van Gogh getting $1000 a month in state subsidies, but not modern artists who just fling their feces at the wall and call it art.
A lot of genuinely good artists in the past never made it because their art was not appreciated. Of course, now the feces-flingers get government subsidies, because bureaucrats and the 'art community' as re not the best judge of art.
Some of them don't even fling, they just put paint in their ass then squat over a canvass.
Modern art was backed by the CIA.

Whats really amusing about these open borders type folk is that they almost never live among the people they claim to want more of. Here in LA the most Woke parts of town are exclusively white.
I get around $800 a month from the VA for being blown up in Afghanistan and forever losing the ability to run.
Its good to know that the value of an artist in SF is worth than my limbs lol
$1000/month is less than half of rent.
More like 3 months if you're actually within SF city limits. My brother in law was paying over 3k a month with a roommate to live in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment in an area that pretty much looked like Skidrow to me. And I live in LA too, which isn't that much better. So the fact that his shit looked fucked up is saying something.
Take something lying around or buy something from a store. Anything will do, though it's best if it's something large that you wouldn't typically see in a painting or sculpture.
Put it on a pedestal, positioning it is an unusual way if possible.
Sign your name on it and date it.
Give it a pretentious name.
Congratulations! You're an artist in the tradition of Marcel Duchamp. Enjoy $1,000 a month courtesy of the taxpayers of San Francisco.
What the fuck is even the point of that? That amount wouldn't even let you lease a fuckin cardboard box in an alley.
Imagine being a taxpayer outside of SF when the state requests a federal bailout.
Imagine building a wall around California.
Makes you wonder why Mother nature is literally trying to break California off from the rest of the country and constantly setting it on fire.
Thank you Australians.
Imagine 'The Big One' solving it all.
Bugs Bunny cut off the wrong state from the Union.
