Move to Ireland, they just rolled out basic income for artists

Ireland is a great country but I wouldn't move here for that specific reason. There are other great reasons that would be much more important or relevant.

One reason to not move to Ireland is that housing is very expensive, there are plenty of other problems too.

How does that work? How does the government decide who is an artist and therefore worthy vs someone who just pretends to be one to get the free money?

Don't move for that; it's just $1,500/month.

Also, it's theft.

		Not the person you're asking, but it strikes me as "taxation is theft".

		Ask the guy who was robbed. Maybe he can give you a clue.
