Basic income = guaranteed stipend ($1,000 or euros per month) to cover basic living expenses to allow people to more freely pursue their passions. One guy is crowdfunding his basic income while a group in Germany is funding 11 people so far.

It's not really a new idea, but I'm surprised some people are actually benefiting from it already.
And here, like an idiot, I'm saving and investing to generate my eventual "stipend." I should've been crowdsourcing my [-]retirement[/-] basic income so I could "pursue my passion" instead.
What, me bitter? Nah, I enjoy my little goatpen in cubicle-land (that's sarcasm). Good for them if they can pull it off long-term, though I don't expect that movement to make much progress, especially in the US.
