12:30 am
it's a freight and freedom to go back to school to learn new skills, freedom to take care of it, aging parents, the freedom to start a small business to freedom, to leave an abusive relationship. the freedom to just not have to worry about money every single 2nd of every day. the plumbing up until literally the last 2 years of my life might have been like one emergency situation away from some plate. financial catastrophe. basically, i just, i live in paycheck to project, not having any extra money for any thing at all and you know, things happen. my name is tre crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read drake. router, little read, what's a try,
12:31 am
crowded long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something is deeply personal to my payables . lot people asked me what to think about like live matter. well put same place i find that they do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance, you know. and so i wouldn't do i intramural sports and stuff like that in college right. sincerely because i was like, well, you know, when i blow my knee out or something, i'm screwed and those just those types of things just knowing that you're on the precipice. so if i take ruin all the time. yeah, it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just typically that a lot of people in this country are live in that day to day. you know, all the time, only 41 percent of us adults have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars free possess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that my son
12:32 am
couldn't afford to live setting the saving medication. he made the worsening on a planet picture is simply staggering. the pandemic is also causing many to go hungry. my bills are going to back up, but i'm going to be in trouble here. a couple, a student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. that's always going to be there for me. personally, i've heard about the idea of a universal basic income. it was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go. so that's at least a solution because we're going to have to do something. the idea is this. every citizen in this country would receive a $1000.00 a month every month, no strings attached. that might seem part best to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that agra ripple and don't get me wrong. i'm grateful for him, but i kind of look back on those programs and food stamps and all that the same way that i look back on the final season, a game of thrones. i'm still glad that it exists,
12:33 am
but it could have and should have been. so much better, we deserve better. you be as actually not a new idea in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas paint, you know, the guy who 1st convince people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. martin luther king junior was for you. we are. one of answers, seems to me, is, are guaranteed to annual income, a guaranteed minimum income for all people. and pro pamela is about 1969. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress, let us place a floor under the income of every family with children in america. and without those, the meanings souls fire, when your friends for human dignity, that's all like the lights, a welfare of welfare children of the day. one state in america actually already has a form of basic income, alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distributed to every man, woman and child,
12:34 am
to be an example for the world there, and the lights. and the lamps goes out to be extremely proud of that because as a whole concept of people owning the resources and government having to take the money back from the people instead of the government, getting the money and partially moved out. and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people turn the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic, they look screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income and the rest of the country? taxes? yeah, said it the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to in corporate welfare, get big tech to pay its fair share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net the world has ever seen. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back isn't going to some big solis government bureaucracy . it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. the ones that we want from
12:35 am
a small town, a lot of times, especially in the south, it can end up in this like sort of a small town concepts thing where it's like now my hometown smaller than yours. and i feel like that's an argument that typically when, because it's really, really small. i remember saladas dislikes clients, little southern town with you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good. the town square was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses, a store for us, that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the town was economy. it was this big clothing factory where most people work. and that's where my mom works best for me. i might ever call her to come out there for a long long and then on my tubs. my dad,
12:36 am
he was, he was the head engineer. and my mom, she actually so have her body and so on that you talk cable. this worked osh kosh, osh kosh. that's kosh that, and if you heard of us, comfortable, gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades the center of the towns economy was large clothing factory and then the mid ninety's after now i have to eat my buckets down at midnight and went south as a border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there and the 20 plus year sense and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon. so it's a lot of, in my opinion, is like a textbook example of a top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income and it also in the states. well, you think the people there would be all for it with but i don't know that that is true. the there it is saying that the crime
12:37 am
these they ask us for gosh, factors. yes. my gosh, it is. how long do you know how long it was here? the factory was here and when he close, people had worked there 40 years, go ahead after he was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town. that may be a factory that's going to be close. and i mean people stop coming into the restaurant and spending 4 bucks on, you know, a sub or something like that. if it was $34.00, or $5.00, people stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe move on on that are running the video store and the car lot and that by the time i graduated high school, but it's literally all going to say and not all, not only is that all gone, but like, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting no strong out go to jail my,
12:38 am
my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happens, you know, and like it affected like literally everything and pretty much the ripple effects other than that see yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like the, the hits just kept on common the i'm saying i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well i've no, i mean i don't want to hand that. yeah, i'm not looking for hand. well, here's the white bring, bring the job back. that's what you need to do politicians, but like, i mean, can you easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way? oh yeah, i can see that. right. well, i think that's going to be a page of the problem. i would love to also see how they respond to that check right. last day, right. let's see what they did. right? presumably they biased or, you know, finally get like the fan belt fixed on their car,
12:39 am
whatever that i've been putting you on for forever. but i'm saying they're going to go to some mechanic around here to do that. you know what i mean? like see a radically, a big portion of it would get like pump straight back into just to the general economy because they're gonna spinning all things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time because they didn't have the money to do the idea of giving unconditional cash might not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this so a paycheck every month, even if you do not have a job. i think it's a continuation towards the road of socialism in america welfare should be a 2nd chance and not a way of life. we're going to take from you over here to give to you over here because that's what we're going to do. the universal base can come when you're texting people and redistributing well without marriage, that he encourages leaves enough force warren buffett to work hard with force this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you can not appreciate something fundamentally that you can get for free.
12:40 am
the, the know you might this trust. it's providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. so the med, no, you my distress, it's doing this in the form of a $1000.00 a month for 12 months. i am so excited. it's like my 2nd child in the matter a month. so i have 2 kids and 2018 and they know you mothers trust is one of the it is taking a population that works so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying we see, we honor your story, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. now,
12:41 am
there will be on us from industry for gay is so support my kids. tell me pay bills and have of notes a straight from month to month when my mom was in abusive relationships. my dad was very very so when i got it and my relationship model issue was abusive and i was like, when never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh. or in a relationship and i mean it's not working. so you have to break the cycle somewhere. and so this one i did, i'm going to jason and i brought this a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use ahead, well, i would like them means i don't know, i just won't go crazy. but one night when me on my page this way here,
12:42 am
we actually fell asleep on the couch and all seemed that's what was right here, right outside the door. a josh as the 1st thing they came to my mind was square up my babies after you for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm not stay here forever. i will get back to school, pay off some dis agency to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me and my little take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills. and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground?
12:43 am
can the what is a part of the, the, is it it but it would pose good. isn't the deepest you of us and that in the word or is it something deeper, more complex might be present there? let's stop without cases. let's go out of to all of the individuals that we work with, living communities where they receive housing vouchers, we really are trying to figure out the impact them benefits when cash is infused into these situations where individuals are highly subsidized. but then also we're trying to get
12:44 am
a better understanding of how the women themselves are able to show up. are they less stress? are they more engaged in their local community or they're more engaged in our kids school? are they more engaged in their own self care? are they able to now look towards careers and not just the job because they have that freedom the the, the blue shirt. um yeah, pretty much getting up. verify. getting the middle ones or is there variety sections of the bus? stop a leased by 545, getting them off the school or actually coming back to the house. august 1. she's getting ready. probably this will arrive no later than 655, actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering the turbo tuesday once you get that code and come along, sir. come, let me see,
12:45 am
let me see. can i see the reading myself in also being plays a like 720 some light rushing. the so i think of the lack of sleep is very challenging. i want to at least get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. i want a job. this is going to make is me. i want to be able to, in saving, you know, take trips and do all of the things too. so and the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it just by virtue of your being here. you deserve a life for you and your family can drive you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve
12:46 am
a life where you can actually so strings is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very size about these are not really having too many like rules or just tell you what are you at and you have to spend it on, or how much she have to say. let me say to north, when i was on tammy's, be somebody's for gays, you have to put this, this is for gas and transportation. well, he see that i see you. i'm not here. you can say food stamps and pay lie. be like you can take food stamps and get your medicine. so is, is a big difference. being able to just go and do everything i need to go with is going to be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work. that's that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually
12:47 am
are doing what it is that they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. this actually a med, most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in, in the complication of the systems that they're not wife. and you're just in effect that for example, if you're on 10 of your case worker could say ok, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided and getting that job, no child care is provided. why you are looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks and you are sanctioned, in most cases, that means that you will lose your smith for 90 days. that's what that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring insured household. you are to have for work, take a moment list this thinking and that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana. because who can run the risk of
12:48 am
not being able to feed their kids the need to reach the home. okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families were saying, o, a family. so one of the work or o family, someone or you know, have to take the drug test that we're requiring them to take because their own drugs. now is none of that, if you went out and had conversations, you could actually really get to what the problems are with these policies that are being implemented. i think our current safety system is not working. and so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite the system. the everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. every body deserves to be able to have safe and adequate housing. everyone deserves to be able to depend on a meal of society. they cannot take care of its children,
12:49 am
society. they cannot take care of its elders, a society that leaves people in the coal without options cannot call the self civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy, an economy which focuses on the inherent dignity of every person and show that that actually operates in the best interest of all citizens, we have to equip mothers to be able to care for their children. and the more we're able to do that, the more whole society and we're raising the more hol, circumstances, and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should say the in america, we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help
12:50 am
. and if that doesn't immediately sound unfair to you, consider that different people's different financial lows can be very wide ranging hard to quantifier typically time sensitive and overall, just generally speaking pretty damn complicated to sort out. luckily for them, every american knows that our government ex sales at resolving complex and nuanced issues and an efficient and judicious manner. rise as joe. now it's in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd that you are deemed worthy of receiving government simple. the minute you get a job and your income increases that support will decrease. think about the incentives of that that can make it so that it doesn't make financial sense to take a job if it's a low paying job. if you are a single parent, you need child care for when you're working. you can be successful in your job, search and end up worse off than you were before when you were on government assistance alone. that's called a poverty trap. the universe are basic income, on the other hand, is an unconditional system. you don't have to prove that you deserve anything. you
12:51 am
don't have to constantly jump through bureaucratic hopes. you don't have to choose between working a job and actually being able to afford your bales because under you be i, everyone will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic slower on which we all can stay the one to let you know we're having a townhome discussion and cook out tomorrow. i'm just heading out flyers for event . we're having tomorrow at the courthouse, my name is alma so lucky and i'm an associate professor of practice in political science at n y u, shanghai. awesome. it's going to be right across the street at the courthouse. okay . and we're going to talk about ways of reading, economic vitality to towns likes one of the the rate is people really understood what the basic things are is. i think it be great if this is something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring the broader attention to the idea based income and get the voices of ordinary
12:52 am
people rather than just academics like me. the . the simplest way that i can explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. i think if we get these details right, basic income can eliminate poverty. can increase economic security for working folks and can give a boost to local economies like the economy of selena. that sound good to you. that doesn't sound too good to be true, the
12:53 am
face. how to go back. exactly what happened. okay, here's one more on your wedding ring to put money on your electric. and then, you know, you're wondering how you're going to get that back and i have no clue. i'm going to get that back. that would rather my bills we pay is entering the, on my fingers, especially as i see it. i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want as an indigent, i just want to be able to pay my bill for my kids. that's all i want to be able to get the last thursday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not are 3, but his oldest otis when he's young, that judge, look, i just got
12:54 am
a job and i'll start paying however much shortly to pay most of it. that wasn't good enough that he's being said, it's a $180.00 days or until his family can come up with $700.00, about $700.00 in waterbury. $310.00 is a lot of money to do. so with hand on, what do you use communicate for chris? what do you know mean to they know the soonest, the harder i tried for my kids to be normal for further they go pack the one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for very long time care work as being devalued with devalued care work. as the site and if we think about what really matters to include society to
12:55 am
a society where people liable to flourish. and then of course, realize that care shouldn't be put too much more on the center of all conception of a good to say. music income by being unconditional, enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. the why will we tax the wealthy for basic income? is because we take the wealthy or we, we resent them for their success. no, it's because they're the ones we're benefiting from the economy as it is right now . and they're the ones we're doing well. the, we're not gonna take all their money for real time keeping up so that they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. we want to reward entrepreneurs and one of our award people who take business risks. we want to reward people who
12:56 am
create jobs for other americans, but we take some of their, some of the gains that they're making and we share it with everybody. and that not only has the effect of reducing economic and security and eliminating poverty. it also has the effect of putting resources in the hands of the people who know best what to do for their own communities. the 1918 the countries of the west won the final victory over the ottoman empire. the sultan's government capitulated to the inside and sign that humiliating armistice,
