here ah, it's peaceful, i really like it up here and hen since my family's buried here. how does feel like i need to come up here and take care of the same material? i disliked volunteer and i do thanks for my community in try to make a difference. no one ever dies and says, and i wish i had a better job. they said, which had more time to spend with my family. i wish i could have explored some of my interests 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 hackers, we already spend millions of dollars every year in this country to try to address poverty and economic insecurity. 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 bank 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 advance. come on in the house. here it is. what it is, but i'm happy here much the rocks very much of our i seriously thought i was a healthy person ever. i all sudden just feel like someone hit me and my spine with an axe and my blood pressure was 380 over 260.

and then they finally came in and decided that i had an 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 my blood pressure down very, very low. because it gets too high, have a rupture in you just dead where you're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with her potentially fatal health issue . there's 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 will call it like a 101200 bucks, just to file bankruptcy. now i'm thinking, you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to offer bankruptcy, you know,

my cardiovascular specialist there, vanderbilt, he wrote on my medical records, he 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 family and some friends, i don't know what i would have done. i really don't because i mean, i had no money and you know, i had to, i had to eat. you can look at someone like you can look at me right now. perhaps and, and maybe think l a perfectly healthy. but you don't know what's going on inside someone's body in it, what we spend another 4 trillion dollars on. we spend another trillion dollars on

tax cuts. are wealthy people, do you see the effects of wealthy people spending those tax cuts that we give them in salina, 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 that bubbles up from the ground right with, if everybody has a decent amount of economic security and has, might spend then economic activity will spiral upwards and community likes alliance glass in the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started working together for 27. the reason that i'm here back and so on. i was because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10 to full time in saying i live here and go home,

start getting ready for them to get home from school. and of 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 to be as small as they are and same things and heard things and that child shouldn't, you know, drugs is really bad thing here in the school small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has shown amanda, the grand baby girl. 6 the smart a i so want to have wanted to have works hard that you just didn't well, all of us live in a basement with impact. i gave up the best job i ever had my life when i came back to take care of the girls and it was either that or let them go into states custody. and so i gave it all up,

came back out. and i need to know what you have to do, you know, so ah, where you go. i don't like about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here. and i have to drive 30 or 45 minutes to foot for the nearest place. hulu with masha nowadays. we really would like to say the town come alive again, like i said, we just need more people that are willing to last in the community. if we give everybody money, you know, everybody has something to spend in, they can spend it in in each other's businesses. and that creates an upward spiral

of economic activity that can revitalize the small town like selena. and if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly, every time you go around the board, the costco, get another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.00 every time you, pasco, and monopoly. the gang would be over in about 3 terms. see that $200.00 you get for passing go and monopoly. that's universal, basic income. they are no matter what. it's on conditional, you know, it's, come, you're getting it, whether your, when and or you lose and, and if you're losing, it can give you a chance. you can give you hope that maybe just, maybe you could still pull this off a representatives in, in legislatures, congress. they know the investments payoff, right? they know that, for example, $1000000.00 investment in the fish hatchery,

they'll hollow, pays off in multiples of that amount. every year in the tourism that it brings into this community. a lot of people actually try well here, just to fish and buy them, come and do salon. i'll just to visual, say i have to buy groceries here at the bar fusion license out to buy gas. you know, like i still like to economy. you know, quite a bit with 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 go straight out of the river. cuz the doc is a little bit either further. buffalo offer has got a girl. oh oh, did you get infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail brings

in business. basic income is like infrastructure spending for families. vital as 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, or a car that works or medical expenses. these are all infrastructure investments as well in the productive power of our people, and our families in our communities. father in law came up with money and got me out here it's harder. again, imagine what she had to go through a hated to put her in a predicament, and i would never have to put her in a predicting again if i can, i can help it. but like i said, as long as it's hard to get work is harder paid. you know, if you got the money again hey, it scares me death. the i'm a ne, a or if i know of i don't buy it after so long. they're gonna come get in,

take me away from a family and are you working right now in signing off in our working roofs and it's hard on me course. notice you guys notice lions and stuff. it's hard on me cuz i retain fluid and stuff, but i get it now and i, when i have to get my kids, you know, we tried to go to a doctors office, they wouldn't accept him because he don't have insurance. and then i goes all the way back to the money thing. no money. so because you don't got no money, we don't care about channels. we don't care what's going on with you. we're not going to tell you good by maybe days all turn came down and he didn't show it to you guys. but when he slid down the hill over there to, to catch land in that heard him a got him. now would

a $1000.00 and then help you. oh, i mean it would gar o mine. okay, to market, imagine what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better. we would our years much is his mouth. his daughter valen adobe via mama in county. they both, i maybe don't me, gabriel. who are

ah ah, just a new choice medical address for the mobile blog post to make sure i can keep a twinge, quickly jumped both with a push. when would you like to replace get that additional radius love which blew out of my different benefits. you won't have to push, i love with, with a group on bunch of group or you for your for holding a picture. where are you using this to hold? you go to the broker insurance card group company. what is company or is it,

i've got the new book with more do this can, but if they put us garzo, so this is latoya e. yeah, i would estimate the cost cause like i thought if you learn the lesson with a local so to most of the stuff i've had a late, what insurance are still with with everything is changing. and one of the elements of this picture is that they're desperate the effect of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their

positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. and their real aim is, of course, saving of, if i knew years of their donation and they made an intermediate, they base it on to my china. now, but of, of, to my china, they have to 1st to take out rush. mm. a watch and it was a in a shag now, shorter went in and i'm not going to say last name scan. now when i went back with that just tells question, i'm a finance national z lesher shyly yours

is when you buy when you sit down with that buy mia move. mm mm. community. 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, you're worthy of my help. and then i'll help you. ready or we can treat people the way we treat our families, our children, our neighbors, and say, we're going to help you 1st because we have faith in you. we believe that you're

going to do something good with that help. and that's what it basically come to us . i just up a couple of different things on the presupposition is that there is a, a belief of inherent good that was then people. there's a common belief and understand that most people are basically good. i believe in that ah, we say that you ought to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern say though, some people don't have bootstraps to pull up. some people don't have hands to pull them. some people don't have feet to put them on to be a person of faith, no matter what was specifically a lot of in is or what tribe appreciate your other belief system that we prior to that there isn't, there ought to be a common written,

loving our name for who they are for where they are not for who and where we think they ought to be. that kind of was good enough for jesus. i think it ought to be good enough for us to hey, ah, what's interesting to me talking to people about basic income, especially people that would benefit from it. is there 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 will misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work. don't you think some of these people do? gabriel money they wouldn't turn into a dope, a couch, potatoes, work, and what we are name. 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 lazy. i'm looking at

this way. if i'm growing a garden in my family, what there have a nice garden. wait, work hard on that. so you're saying i should just open the door and let the neighbor down the road, didn't work so hard. come in here and get part of my garden house at rat for us. this kind of resistance 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 i 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 an earlier i've actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well, actually most people act like you and your friends in your family. basic and compounds 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 $125.00 residence and made less than the cities annual

median income. one of those recipients spent the money on surprise, groceries pay and bills, you know, the same things you and your family would probably spend the money on to ah ah, so we are within the last $30.00 days of the pilot project in his 1st year with the 20 women and we work with, we have seen them do everything from payoff, predatory debt. go back to school, get better and coin oppertunity on to like be, are more engaged parents to re establish relationships. really does have an opportunity to show up and we have their full lives. and that's the beauty and the power pairs. ah, i use the for so many things. stay and on top of paying the bills in the household,

these are i was having to like take the baby to clay so you know, they, you know, you can't really just really have the babies. oh so oh baker allowing him to be somewhere where he can now. so not, not just being watched what also learned. ah me, i was able to go ahead and now enrolled him in daycare in the and just focus on school . i sorry my sake of the military and medical bill in the coding. as i finished that semester, i made the dings lease. there was very exciting. i got my ged, i graduated in june. i was very excited about that because it was really one of the things that he cannot hinder me from, you know, job basically well, good job receiving a $1000.00 a month, even though it is a blessing. it's 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 a better career opportunities in the they didn't look at the school and it was paid off dead individuals, labor, charbonneau, wives. oh, polls of valentine bay. it were the inside. he can make them with the keys. and thanks much for the baby girls with gar. mary had a when i was in my visa and i get up there was a flight. oh my god, i have to do something to tear the golden road on row in. i looked up a he boy, he bow, he crying hard and air reward. you know, it was exciting. well, you know, he paying 50000. yeah. she started the, she started the that the rural, all crying. yes. mom, actually i was on madness with cancer hearts out. they also want our relationship close to between the, you know, my mom got c o m a and you know, she needed

a lot or she is mer to stay in the oh, name she here with the b o. she'll with the key. so now her being down, you know, just to return the favor just to be like mom, we're for you just like use your for me all, even though it is a guaranteed income pilot in there, 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 a voucher or a subsidy dedicated to one particular b. or most importantly, we do wife or family matawan katie boley movie. we were able to celebrate a law when they read, you know, times before holidays,

just campaign by actually being able to get together as a family. and i have so many names lie and up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job, a home visas administration. i met some great people who it's great being late, let me know when i cost a breach to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about a, you know, just say people bit, you know, and looked an app for you just to see did, you're trying to do something, you know, to change your life and you situations then in your awaiting kamani and we're happy to share with what you think is gonna happen when the program ends, you know, i believe that we spend a lot of time thinking about what happens when something ins. and to me that's

a clear sign of that trusting individual. so 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 had not there put a plan in place for when is money and so, so i believe that individuals are going to continue to do whatever they need to do to take care of themselves. and, ah, ah, in the end, people want to be productive. they want to have a better tomorrow than they have today. 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 and 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 really expect cash to me. it's freedom, it, it, it's bringing. it gives you options that without that you do not have a cash last them the freedom to actually make the decisions to determine what it is that they need for themselves. you know, right now i'm 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 in that pitch. so it's something i really want for, you know, the disadvantage 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. i take this opportunity and see that we do not have a limited time. and so my ask for you all to night 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 know to have picked up on it or not, but right now things are less than ideal for a huge number of people in this country. a blur ban. let go from jobs that are never going to come back. racket medical bills are never going to be able to pay. and, oh, by the way, a global freakin contagion level pandemic. hard to feel very good about. they dropped me off. don't you think you'd feel a little better if you had slightly more assurance that you and your family we are going to be okay. we really believe in the land of the free lunch act like it was lipp at john economic boot off of people's next. let's give everyone a piece of the get all american pass so that no one has to start from nothing. that's freedom at u. b. i think about a

with

a, with, with only days before america is mid term elections. everything seems to be breaking in the direction of the republicans. this would seem to confirm this will truly be a change election and a solid defeat for joe biden. and the democrats, the country is deeply divided. these elections make things worse.
