ah ah, there's 2 things we love in this country. it's cash and freedom. but he, by it's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you ain't got no cash, you ain't got no freedom. shackle jackal to a job that exploits you. shackled too, she had interest right to sab, she dry shackled to medical bills for ailment, so old they could have their own student loans, their defaulting young. it's an oppressive and disheartening state of of fires that lays people doing whatever like a and just described by because they don't have any other choice and that's not freedom. but a universal basic income can give you freedom, lots of freedom, freedom to go back to school, to learn new skills, freedom to take care of an 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 with in wyoming, up until literally last 2 years of my life might have been like one emergency situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically, i just, i live in paycheck to paycheck. not having any extra money for any thing at all. and you know, things happen. my name is trey crowder. i've got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read try crowder little read. what's a try? crowded long time? no scheme, i want to talk to you about something. it's deeply personal to me. pails,

law people ask me what to think about black lives matter. well, put simply, i think that they do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance. you know, until i, i wouldn't do like intramural sports and stuff. i got a call. i sincerely because i was like, wow, you know what i blow money out or something. i'm screwed and those just those types of things just knowing that you're on the precipice. so flag ruin all the time. yeah, it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just statistically 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 repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical debt. my son couldn't afford the life sitting the saving medication. he needed, 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 and i'm going to be enjoyable here. probably student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. that's always gonna be there for me. personally, i heard about the idea of a universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go, that's at least a solution because we're gonna 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 far fetched to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that agra ball 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, but it could have and should have been. so much better way deserved better u b,

i is actually not a new idea. in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas pain. you know, the guy who 1st convince people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only martin luther king junior was for you. we are now on the vans is it seems to me as a guaranteed annual income or guaranteed minimum income for all people and for all families of our country. 1969. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress that us place of war under the income of every family, with children in america. and without those demeaning souls 5 winning a bronze for human dignity that sold by the lives of well for welfare children the day. once died in america actually already has a form of basic income, alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distribute it to every man, woman and child, trivial example for the world or emulate. the alliance comes all the big streaming

proud of it because it's a whole new concept to people owning the resources and the government having to take their money back from the people instead of government getting the money. and partially moved out. and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people term, the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic to like screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income in the rest of the country? taxes? yeah, i said it the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to incorporate welfare get big tech to pay its fire, share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net. the world has ever st. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back isn't going to some big sold us government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. mm hm. i'll tell the law firm a small town,

especially in the south, it can end up in this like sort of a small town contest thing where it's like now my hometown smaller than yours. and i feel like that's an argument that i typically win because it's really, really small. i remember saladas this like quaint little southern town with, you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good. the tailed squire was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses a store for us, that type of thing. now and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the town was economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's for my mom worked that's for as long as community people work and my neighbor caller to come out there for a long, long time. and then i might kiss my dad, he was, he was the healing engineer and my mom,

she actually so ever body and saw that you talk to these work oshkosh, oshkosh the in house. gosh that. and if you heard at oshkosh by gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades, the center, the towns economy was large cloud and factory in, in the mid ninety's after. and i have to it made like a stoner at midnight and went south of the border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there in the 20 plus years since and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon. so selina, in my opinion is like a textbook example at the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income and then also from the sensible you typed the people there will be all for it with but i don't know that that is true. there it is, say of the crime, you say osh kosh, my gosh, factory, yes, my gosh,

she did. how long do you know how long it was here? the fact that he was here, and when he closed people, had worked there, 40 years, go ahead. after here i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that maybe a factory was going to be close. and i mean people stopped coming in to the restaurant and spin didn't 4 bucks on, you know, a sub or something like that. if it was $345.00, people stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe may mon, pod data or run in the video store in the car lot. and that by the time i graduate high school, it's literally all gone. it was say, and not all, not only is that all gone, but like i, you know, all the stuff with mama, her getting all strung out yonah jail. yeah. my, my life changed tremendously for the worse just like everybody else is around here . when that happened. well, in my get affected like literally everything and pray,

learn the ripple in excel or dan that yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i wasn't just the hits just kept on come and ah, i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, wow, now, i mean, i don't know hannah yeah, i'm looking for and i just want to why bring, bring a job like that's what you need to do. politicians. what 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 gonna be a major that i would love to also see how they respond. if he could kick them in once had his last day, right? to see what they did with. presumably they basta, or you know, finally get like the fan belt fixed on their car or whatever that i've been put in for forever. but i'm saying they're going to go to some mechanic around here to do

that. you want to main, like theoretically a big portion of it would get like pop strike back in to just sure the general economy because there has been in all things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time because i had no money to do the idea of giving unconditional cash might not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shocker. how does this out a paycheck every month? even if you do not have a job, i think is a continuation towards the road of socialism in america. well, there should be a 2nd chance, not a way of life. we're going to take from you over here to give to you over here, because that's where we're going to do the universal basic income. when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without marriage, that in encourages lazy. what forced warren buffett to work hard with, forced this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. with

my distress is providing a guaranteed in tom to low income african american women in their family. so the med, no, you my distress. it's doing this in a form of a $1000.00 a month for 12 months. i am so excited if like my 2nd shell in a matter of months, i had to get the 2018 in magnolia mothers trust is the one of them. it is taking a population that worked so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying we see, we honor your stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family now you mm hm. there will be all tremendous break for gays to support my kids. oh,

tell me pay bills and hell know to stretch from month to month with where my mom will in of abuse relationship. my day it was very very for my mom so when i got of my relationship marilyn, she was abused. that when i was like, i would never ever put my key in jeopardy. oh, or in a relationship that i mean is now working for you have to break the cycle somewhere . and so therefore, i mean, i'm older jackson and i broke with like there's a $1000.00 a month. no strings attach a he is a hero. i will like there mays. i don't know. i just won't go crazy with that one night when mamma babies were you actually fell asleep on the couch and oh, seamless was right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes,

i had to 1st only came to mama was grant my baby as he for my life. and i knew like at the moment i'm now stay here forever. i will get back in school, pay off some days and continue to raise my credit score. so that i can get the home that i want for me and my load was ah ah, needs to come to russian state. oh, never. i've stivers,

i'm phoning most lengthy in div us. mm hm. no, no. okay. awesome. so i'm at for a group in assistive abilene. okay, so mine is gonna be the one on homes with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine. the state aren't russia today and spoke ortiz spoke now, given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube said with, with, with, with, with, with mm, all of the individuals that we work with living communities where they receive housing vouchers,

we really are trying to figure out the impact of benefits when cash um is infused into these situations where individuals are highly subsidized. but then also we're trying to get 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? are there more engaged in our kids school? are they more engage in their own self care? are they able to now look towards career and not just the job because they held their freedom? ah, more honestly, with shirt. oh, freedom was getting up a fire, getting all the middle one, the jurors there were 80, take him to the bus. stop police by 545, getting them off the school were actually come back to the house. oh, this one she's getting ready. roblis will arrive, no lame is 655 actually having to rush back home,

get the baby ready to take your so my mom's house is entering the. busy terrible tooth when you get back out and come along, sir, come let me see, let me see, can i see the ready myself in also being play as a like 720 some light rushing. oh did you? oh. so i think the lack of sleep is marian challenge in i won't so least get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. i wanna job this is just gonna make is me. i want to be able to save it. you know, take trib, so do all the things too. so in a 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 where you and your family can bribe you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actual are. so streams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very cited about these are not really hearing too many like rules or just tell you or you, you have to spend it on or how, how much you have to say let me say, and i, when i was on tam, if these monies forgave, you have to put this, this is for j as in terms with asian work. he see that doctor i see you a little tears. you can't say food, 1000 pale, i be alike. he can't take food stamps and get your medicine. so it is a big difference. being able to just going to everything i need to go with is gonna

be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. that's actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the complication of the systems that they're not wired and you're just in effect them. for example, if you're on pena, in your case worker cafe. okay? you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no supported provided and getting that job. no child care is provided when you're looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are thanks. in most cases that means that you will lose your net for in 90 days . what that means is there for 90 days, you have no way of ensuring that your household, your kids have, take

a moment less, they're thinking that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana. because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids. oh, sorry. oh, okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families were saying, oh family, someone at o. r o family. so when i, you know, have to take the drug test that were required in the take because they are on 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 with. i think our current safety assistant is now working in so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to re write a system. everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. everybody deserves to be able to have safe and adequate

housing. everyone deserves to be able to so depend on a meal, a society that cannot take care of its children, society, they cannot take care of its elders. a society that leaves people in the cold without options cannot call is so civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy and 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 we're raising, the more whole circumstances and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should say, ah,

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 . and if that doesn't immediately sound unfair to you, consider that different people's different financial woes can be very wide ranging hard to quantify, 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 in an efficient and judicious manner, right? as joe, now it's in fact is the opposite and our system is well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd, you are deemed worthy of receiving government support. the minute you get a job and your income increases that support will decrease. think about the incentives of that i can make it so that 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. be universal, basic income, on the other hand, is an unconditional system. you don't have to prove that you deserve anything. you 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 floor on which we all can stand once let you know we're having a town hall discussion and cook out tomorrow. out flyers for event. we're having tomorrow at the courthouse, my name is almost lucky and i am an associate professor of practice in political science at n y u shanghai. also it's going to be right across the street at the courthouse. ok, and we're going to talk about ways of bringing economic vitality to towns, lakes on this. thank you. great. if people really understood what the basic income

is, i think it be great if this was something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring broader attention to the idea of basic income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. a the simplest away like explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payment 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. does it sound good to you?

that doesn't sound too good to be true. yeah. mm mm. for to slow down with faith. hope in our sort of go by. exactly one of them. okay, here's one man on your wedding re, 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 give that back. but i would rather my bills will be paid entering me on my fingers, such as i say, i don't, i wouldn't be rich by any means. i don't want and handed him. i just want to be able to pay money for my kid. that's all i want to be on you.

last tuesday. my husband went to charge for court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest or this one, asia that judge. look, i just got a job. i'll start paying, however much shortly to pay. that wasn't good enough that he is in the 180 days or until his family can come up. $7700.00 is a lot of money to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to show him god, what do you use for christmas? what he knew no is still like no harder are charged for my kids to be normal. for further they go back in one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for a very long time,

care work as been devalued. we've devalued care work as a society and if we think about what really matters to include society to a society where people liable to flourish, then of course realize that care should be put much more on the center of our conception of a good to say basic kingdom by being unconditional, enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. why will we tax the wealthy for basic income? is because we hate 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, they're the ones who are doing well. ah

no. i will not take all their money. well, let them keep. and after that, they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. we want to reward entrepreneurs, we want to reward people who take business risks. we want to reward people who 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 insecurity 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. with only days before america's 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. another question for the mobile blog post. make sure i can keep a twinge with a different benefit. you want to get a camera with a function code or use your for holding a picture. where is this to hold? you go to the broker insurance card company. what is company here? i've got the new book with more can i do this? kimberly put us. 5 on the official witness list for the oil, e a and the last november with

a little so to most of the stuff on a late with with everything is changing and one of the elements of this picture is the desperate, the effect of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia in their real aim is of course, saving their 500 years of their domination and the emitter intermediate,

a based on demand china. now a bunch of domains, china, they have to 1st to stick with ah, and i'm still shocked. i can't believe this is really happening. the main thing is that we finally returned home. thank god. and emotional because moscow and k f conduct another prisoner. while he takes changing a $107.00 captured soldiers, one of the russian troops described their experiences in capsule with those 3 months. we're living help. they forced disabled soldiers, no legs to do sit ups. i saw some guys children level legs. they were swollen from beating that had been cooled down to a large extent, the level of prosperity achieved in colonial countries.
