the most people, i know they laser 8 hour job and go home and relax the house about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i'll just keep my clothes, change my clothes, the 1st job, go to the 2nd and this keeps and keeps me from wanting to go home. she what's the book about this town where it is finished? you a piece of mailbox. it was, it was um, each oh yeah, i have listened to some of that one with you of the need. so you didn't have to maybe work as hard to get by. you did uh maybe spend more time with your loved ones while you still have them. margaret. this was my grandpa sister. she came off a horse in

a curve and i found her on the bank and over. here's my grand great grandmother in great grandfather. here it's pays full, i really lock it up here and then since my family's buried here, i just feel like i need to come up here and take care of the cemetery. the i disliked volunteer and do things for my community in try to make a difference. the no one ever dies and says, and i wish i had a better job. they say i wish i had more time to spend with my family. i wish i could've explored some of my interest of music or art or church or being a baseball coach. and so i just think we're at a moment where we're going to have machines and artificial intelligence produce

a lot of things much more cheaply than we've ever seen before. we're going to have the potential for abundance. and when we have abundance, what we should do is give people the chance to live out their dreams, whatever they are. and that's the gift of this moment. if we don't turn it into the 100 is we already spend billions of dollars every year in this country to try to address poverty in economic and security. what do we get for that money? we get 50 percent of americans living paycheck to paycheck. 50 percent of americans who have little or no savings in the banks to tie them over if they encounter a serious illness. 50 percent americans don't have that kind of savings to get them over that kind of an offense of the come on in the house. here it is what it is, but i'm happy here. must rocks very much of over i seriously

. the i was the health this person ever. i all study. just feel like someone helped me and my spine with an x and my blood pressure was 380 over 260. and then they finally came in and decided that i've had a order dissection. there's 3 lines to your a order which fees all your body with blood. and mine was ripping apart both by the force of the blood. which means i have to my blood pressure down very, very low. because if it gets too high, it will rupture and use dead wherever you're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with a potentially fatal health issue. there's just so much stress, you know, on the financial end of it because you're getting these phone calls every day and,

and every attorney i would call it was like a $11200.00 just to file bankruptcy. and i'm thinking, you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to file for bankruptcy, you know, of my, um, cardiovascular specialist, their vendor bill, he wrote on my medical records, they said, look, this guy does not need to wait for his disability. he needs it. now, and i still had to wait 15 months, you know, if it hadn't been for a family and some friends, i don't know what i would have done. i really don't because i mean, i, i had no money. and, you know, i had to, i had to eat the look at someone like you can look at me right now. perhaps and, and maybe think of a perfectly healthy,

but you don't know what's going on inside someone's by the feel it, we spend another 2 trillion dollars on spend another trillion dollars on tax cuts for wealthy people. do you see the effects of wealthy people spending those tax cuts that we give them? and so i know, or do you think that instead of economic activity always coming from the top and trickling down, that economic activity might actually be kind of thing. the bubbles up from the ground right with, if everybody has a decent amount of economic security and has money to spend, then economic activity will spiral upwards and community likes the one in the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started work for 27 years.

the reason that i'm here back in savannah is because uh, i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10, and it's a full time saying i live here and go home, start getting ready for them to get home from school and then your course we have to have supper and if their homework gets their bass and it's bad time and ready to start all over, they've been through a lot of debate as small as they are, and same thing, the 3rd things and that child should, you know, drugs is really bad thing here in this whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has showed mind that the world. 6 smart enough, we can do whatever to as the owner at one of the half works hard, is that you do still a lot of us live in the basement and packed.

i gave up the best job i ever had in my life. when i came back to take care of girls in that it was either that or let them go into states custody. and so i gave it all up, came back out. and i need this the what you have today. you know, so the there you go. i do think about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here. and they have to drive 30 or 45 minutes to the foot for the nearest place. the blue because this is the fashion we really would like to stay this out and come alive again. as i

said, we just need more people that are willing to invest in the community. if we give everybody money, you know, everybody has something to spend and they can spend it in, in each of these businesses. and that creates an upward spiral of economic activity that can revitalize the small town likes lajna. and if i can make the analogy to afford game, if you think about the game monopoly tray time and go around the warranty cash go, get another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03 telling you, pasco, and monopoly. the game would be over and about 3 terms. see that $200.00 you get for passing. go with monopoly. that's universal, basic income. there no matter what, it's unconditional. you know it's come, you're getting it, whether you're winning or you lose. and if you're losing, it can give you a chance. and so you can give you hope that maybe just maybe you can still pull this off the,

our representatives in the legislatures congress, they know the investments pay off, right? they know that, for example, a 1000000 dollar investments in the fish hatchery it fail, hollow pays off in multiples of that amount, every year in the tourism that it brings into this community. a lot of people actually travel here just to fish and buy them, come and do a lot of just to fish and say, i have to buy groceries here. have to buy fusion license. i have to buy gas, you know, they say stimuli to economy. you know, quite a bit the right, this is why our representatives fight for money in washington to bring back to our communities because they know that these investments can have multiplier effects that bring in much more than the cost of those programs. it goes straight up to the river to offer just got

a crown infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business for basic income is like infrastructure spending for families, for the less families to, to pay for the infrastructure that they need. whether it's child care or whether it's housing, whether it's food closing, for a car that works for medical expenses. these are all infrastructure investments as well in the productive power of our people and our families in our communities. finally, my wife came up with some money and got yeah, it was hard on i can't imagine what you had to go through to have the pleasure in that predicament. and i would never have to put her in that project. me again if i

can't help it. but like i said, as long as hard to get work, it's hard to pay, you know, if you can get the money to pay, it scares me that and any day. or if i know if i don't pay it after so, and they won't come get indicted anyways. my family and are you working right now? i'm signing off and on working rogues and it's hard on me course. i'm notice you guys notice my as the, it's hard on me because i retain fluid and stuff, but i get it done. i, when i have to cause my kids, you know, we try to go to a doctors office. they wouldn't accept him because they don't have insurance. and then that goes all the way back to the money thing. no money. so because you don't got no money, we don't care about your health. we don't care what's going on with you. we're not going to tell you good by they've, they've all turned him down and he didn't show it to you guys. but

when he slid down the hill over there to, to catch land and that heard him a got in with a $1000.00 a month. help you a. i mean it would gone on mine. ok then back i magine what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better, we would argue as much is mild as our valid and then i'm out the table. ok. maybe there we go for the

is joe biden's catastrophic debate performance and the attempted assassination of donald trump. i shuddered. many narrow escapes about american politics binding isn't sharp as attacks, and trump is an ex essential breast, officially sanctioned narratives of collapse the

the we have 2 choices when we design programs for the poor and for people who are struggling. we can say you need to prove to me 1st that you're worthy of my health and then i'll help you. ready more we can treat people the way we treat our families. our children are neighbors and say, we're going to help you 1st because we have space in you. we believe that you're going to do something good with that help. and that's what it basic income does. um, just a couple of different things. um the pre suppositions is that there is a,

a belief of inherent good or that was in people. there's a common belief in understanding that most people are basically good. i believe in that the we say that you ought to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern. so you know, some people don't have bootstraps to pull up. some people don't have hands to coleman and some people don't have feet to put them on the person. no matter what was supposed to been is or what your other felicia is that we are not

jesus, be good enough for us to the what's interesting to me talking to people about basic income, especially people that wouldn't benefit from it is they're often resistant to the idea and often the resistance takes the form of, you know, some other people will be lazy, some other people will use it for drugs. some other people misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work. so do you think some of these people in the view will money they wouldn't turn into a dope, a couch potato is porch and while we are name. mm hm. but when i ask people, well, what would you do? right? no one has ever said to me like, oh, i'll sit on the couch and buy some drugs and some alcohol and be lazy. but i'm looking at this way. if i'm girl in a garden, in my family, what they're that with national guard and we work hard on that. so you're saying i

should just open the door and let the neighbor down the road and it will work so hard. come in there and get part of my garden. how is that right? for us a just kind of or is this is almost a question of human nature. you know, how do people think about other people beyond their own family and friends? do they trust them or do they not trust them? and they think that's that's what we kind of have to talk about. and that's where actually pilots are very useful because we have a little bit of them. and we have actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well actually most people act like you and your friends and your family, basic income pilots have been done all over the world. and generally, they do not find that people misuse the cash or stop working when they receive it in 2019 the mayor of stockton, california launched an 18 month program where they gave $500.00 a month, no strings attached to a $125.00 residence and made less than the cities annual median income. one of those recipients spent the money on surprise. groceries paying bills, you know, the same things you and your family would probably spend the money onto

the so we are within the last $30.00 days of the pilot project. in his 1st year with the 20 women that we worked with, we have seen them do everything from pay off credit torrie debt. go back to school, get veterans claimant opportunities to like be or more engaged. parents re establish relationships. really just have an opportunity to show up and we have their full lives. and that's the beauty in the power path. i use the for so maybe things staying on top of paying the bills in household things. i'm saving to like take the baby to glaze so you know, they, you know, you can't really just really have the baby is close though. um,

daycare. allow them to be somewhere where he can also not, not just be watched. but i also learned the me. i was able to go ahead and enroll him in daycare in the and just focus on school. i saw him in las vegas, the military and medical building the coding. as i finish that semester, i made the dean's list, there was a very exciting gama g b. i graduated in june. i was very excited about that and because it was really one of the things that he cannot hinder me from getting a job, basically when the job receiving a $1000.00 a month, even though it is a blessing, is not enough to sustain yourself or your family so individuals took this for what it was an opportunity to get a leg up an opportunity to put in place a plan for themselves and their families. so no one quit working individuals went and got better career opportunities individually that the school individual paid

off that individuals able to show up in their own lives. because valentine's day it was uh, his name's diety. you can make them with the keys. 6 much warm the baby was way to got married had a we in. c and i get off the line. oh my god, i have to do something to 2 years ago the road i got a row and i looked up a blue table. he crying hard and ever worn saturday or it was excited. yeah, she started the, she started the, the ripple trying i actually was on that and i was looking at the 1st is all they also want our relation to, you know, my mom got sick and you know, she needed a lot or she got mad at the inquiry,

she here with the b o. c a with the key. so now her being down, you know, just the return. if i would just to be like mom, we're for you just like use here for me. even though it is a guaranteed income pilot, and there are other guaranteed income pilots currently being conducted. ours is the only one working with extremely low income families. so families who have various subsidies that they are dependent upon. and even though individuals had a decrease in benefits, they still say that they are glad that they received the cash because the cash allowed the opportunity to do whatever they needed. it wasn't about share or a subsidy dedicated to one particular bank. or most importantly, we do like a family model, a bowl, a booby, we were able to celebrate a lot they we holidays and just count actually

being able to get together. i have a family, have so many things lined up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in bees ministration. i met some great people with bright things this way. let me know when cost a breeze to come talk to him. so i'm very excited about the notes just so people you know, and looking out for you just see that you're trying to do something, you know, has to change your life. easy generations standing here waiting like come on and we had to use that i think is gonna happen when the program ends. you know, i believe that we spent a lot of time thinking about what happens when something in and to me that's a clarifying. i'm not trusting individuals, but if i am going to say that i trust you enough to give you money and know that

you are going to do what you and your family need. i have to say that i trust you enough to have put a plan in place for when is money and stuff. so i believe that individuals are going to continue to do whatever they need to do to take care of themselves and their on the, in the end, people want to be productive. they want to have a better tomorrow and they have to day. and if you give people a stable, durable source of income that they can count on, then most people will invest that money in ways that are best for them. as we live in a moment of change, it's going to happen. driverless cars are going to arrive in artificial intelligence is going to improve progress though, in terms of people and whether they're better or worse off. that is optional. this is a moment to leave. this is a moment for debate because the future of our families and our children is

realistic. cash to me, it's freedom and it's bringing it gives you options that without and you do not have cash allows them the freedom to actually make the decisions to determine what it is that they need for themselves. you know, right now i'm an academic, let's say for some reason academia doesn't work out. and i need to take a couple of years to get some training or to switch careers. or let's say i have a parent that really needs my help. i can instantly fall back on that universal basic income and not pitch. so it's something i really want for, you know, the disadvantaged people in this country. but it's something i also really want for myself. and i think that's how you create really powerful political movements. take this opportunity and see that we do not have unlimited time. and so my ask for you all tonight is for you to take this new vision of the economy, this trickle up economy, this human centered economy, this vision and make it yours. i don't, no doubt picked up on it or not,

but right now things are less than ideal for a huge number of people in this country. they bore ban, let go from jobs that are never going to come back racking medical bills are never going to be able to pay, you know, by the way, a global freaking contagion level. pandemic. hard to feel very good about site traffic. don't you think you'd feel a little better if you had slightly more assurance that you and your family were going to be okay. we really believe in the land of the free lunch act, like it's a slip that giant economic boot off of people's next, let's give everyone a piece of the good all american pass so that no one has to start from nothing that's freedom that you be. i think about the

the 1960s were attorney for the advocates struggle for labor ration. however, in the south of the continental european races decided from the agony of colonialism. give 1965, the white minority unilaterally declared the state of rhodesia states authorities pursued the policy of racial segregation. the indigenous population was deprived of rio political rights and subject them merciless economic exploitation ever again bakery it with the support of the soviet union and china, oppose the splinter of the colonial system. a coalition of pro western countries

took the side of rhodesia, the gorillas carried out bold raids from the territory of zambia and mozambique and inflicted painful blows on the races. as the situation worse in the road, easy, an army turned to chemical and biological weapons. the races boys in the water and food and planted contaminated medicines on the gorillas. this caused an epidemic of cholera and anthrax and led to masturbate to ality. however, the attempt to break down the africans resistance were futile. the white minority relief was due in 1979. it could be delayed a year later, free elections warehouse instead of a racist road. the just the state of zimbabwe appeared on the world map and became a true best just of the ideas of man. african is of the sense for war to united states

as fostered extremist, anti russian prejudices and hatreds among the ukrainian d. as for 10, at least in canada, united states and countries in eastern europe probably are everywhere and it doesn't matter what these groups say or do it will support them. if it is, the groups are causing patriot and chaos within the target country. joe again might done on the choose but it should consecrate dell or sort of you will as well as one of the middle. i know myself. it just means that the potential is usually just $50.00. let me see, i see i use is anyone at anything if there's a religion the

the hello and welcome to cross ok. we're all things are considered on peter lavelle. joe biden's catastrophic debate performance and the attempted assassination of donald trump. i shattered many narrow escapes about american politics biden. it isn't as sharp as attack and trumpet this engine ex essential for us, officially sanctioned narratives, have collapsed the cross talking narratives. i'm joined by.
