of any other choice and that's not freedom, but a universal basic income can give you freedom, lots of free freedom to go back to school to learn new skills, freedom to take care of and aging parents. the freedom to start a small business, the freedom to leave an abusive relationship, the freedom to just not have to worry about money. every single 2nd of every day with wyoming up until literally 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 paycheck, not having any extra money for any thing at all. and you know, things happen. my name is trey crowder. i got attention on the

internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read dry crowder, little red, tri crowded long time. no scheme. i want to talk to you about something. it's deeply personal to me. pails, law, people, that's been what i like 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. and so i, i wouldn't do like intramural sports and stuff like that in college. i, sincerely, because i was like, wow, 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 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 setting saving medication he needed. the worsening unemployment 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. a couple ways 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 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 our best to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that i grew up in only wrong. i'm grateful for him. but i can 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. we 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 paine. 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 want to van seems to me is a guaranteed annual income, a guaranteed minimum income. all people around for family is about from 969. 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 demeaning souls 5 when your friends for human dignity that so bite the lives well for welfare children 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 distribute it to every man, woman and child. for bill example for the world there. i'm really no one else goes over, be extremely 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 is partially moved out. and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people term, the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic like screen. okay, so they've got oil of an 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 we well from a small town a lot of times, 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. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the towns economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's where my mom worked. that's where i live at

a my never collar to come out there for a long time and then am i curse? my dad he was, he was the head engineer. and my mom, she actually so ever body and saw that you talk to him. he's working oshkosh, oshkosh, that 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 that also essentially you thank the people that would be all

for it would, but i don't know that that is true. there it is saying the crime is there osh kosh, my gosh, factory, yes, my gosh, he did. how long do you know how long it was here? the fact he was here and when he close, 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 may be a factory was going to be close. and i mean people stopped coming in to the restaurant in spend in for 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 pon daddy are running the video store in the car lot. and that by the time i graduate high school, it's literally all gone. he will say, and not all, not only is all gone i'm but like, you know,

all the stuff with mamma are getting all strong. i'll be able to jail him. my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here. when that happens. well, in my get affected like literally everything and pray, learn the ripple linux and other than that see yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like just the hits just kept on come and with i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say i wanna, i mean, i don't know handy. yeah. i'm looking for and i just want to work bringing, bringing a job like that's what you know 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 major garage. i would love to also see how they respond if he could kick him once and ride his last day,

right to see what they did before i 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 it's 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 what we're going to do about universal basic income when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without marriage, that 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.

ah ah, magnolia mothers trust it providing a guaranteed in time 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 give them 2018 in magnolia mothers trust is 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 story, it's, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your

family. now you there will be all tremendous break for gays to support my key. it's ah, tell me pay bills and hell know if to straight from month to month with where my mom will in of, of his relationship. ah, my day it was very, very for my mom. so when i got of my relationship marliss, you was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my key in jeopardy of or in a relationship that i mean is not working. or you have to break the cycle somewhere . and so therefore i be it, i'm older jackson and i broke as like there's a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use a hair, val, i will light their mays. i don't know. i just won't go crazy

with that one night when ma'am? a baby. so here we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, seamless was right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes, i had to 1st in they came to mamma was grant my baby after you for my life and i knew like at the moment, i'm now stay here for ever. i will get back in school pay. awesome. dare say, continue to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me and i lose a willing anthem blue, tedious duty, and no cranium, t coyer shooting idea. she ship a doctor, lean that ship border control. you put you on board,

today, i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions foreign companies, quitting russia, design $21.00. thank to hear this license open atm console blantan banks disconnected from the international payment system. the functional move hoppey journal published donna and euro exchange rates follow up on i trouble up article the more for those. so i would know what the committee he woke up. the pillar in the cell is the current, can you say it all? so soon we're doing a little much volume and russian business overcome this song. see, near rapport denazi's to handle? she tremendously choked me. don't press word bullshit. marshal productive. notice 0 dash a miracle. what i see for corporate themself, so that when you call, when you were looking for a new employer for i've already got on your list anyway, i am going to sleep now, but i, she's appraisal id love loop. i know post of key to cost to get the group when you, when you're speaking with dr. numbness, listening, who quizzes wilson delusion would look

a little booklet. lucille includes with all of the individuals that we work with, living communities where they receive housing vouchers, we really are trying to figure out the impact and 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 engaged in their own self care? are they able to now look towards career and not just the job because they have their freedom? ah, more recently in

shirt. oh, pretty much getting up a fire. getting all the middle one juris. there were 80 sections of the bus stop police by 545, getting them off the school were actually come back of the house. oh, this one she's getting ready. her boss will arrive in the layman's $655.00. actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering the. busy terrible tooth. what? yes, that code is for milan, sir. come, let me see, let me see, can i say d rady myself in also being play as a like 720 some like risha. oh oh. so i think the lack of sleep is mirrored challenge and i want to lease, get to a point in my life where i'm actually working

a good paying job. i wanna job it's just gonna make is me. i want to be able to save it. you know, take true, observe, do all the things to 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 actually so strings is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot. i'm very side about these. i'm not really hearing too many like rules or just tell you or you that you have to spend it on or how, how much you have to see me. let me say, and i, when i was on, tammy, this money's for gays, you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian work. he see that doctor. i see you.

a little tears. you can say fools, 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. 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, some quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the complication of these systems, but they're not wired and they're just ineffective. for example, if you're on pana, your case worker cafe, okay? you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided and getting that job. no child care is provided when

you're looking for their job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are sanctioned. in most cases that means that you will lose your nest for 90 days. and what that means is that for a 90 days you have no way of ensuring that church household. your kid is half take a moment less the sinking. and 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 speed their kid. oh, oh. 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 r o family, someone or 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 implemented. and i think our current safety net system is now working. and 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 job. now it's in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd, the you are deemed worthy of receiving government support. the minute you get

a job and your income increases, that support will decrease, sank 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 bills. because under u. b i, every one will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic floor on which we all can stay at one to let you know we're having a town hall discussion and cookouts. laura, i'm handing out flyers for event. we're having tomorrow at the port house. my name

is alma lucky and i'm an associate professor of practice in political science at n y u shanghai. asa, it's going to be right across the street at the courthouse, a pan. we're going to talk about ways of bringing economic vitality to towns likes lawana. i think it was great if people really understood what the basic income is. i think a 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 based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like maybe another one. yeah. 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? does it sound too good to be true? yeah. mm mm. for a faith hope in what i go by. exactly one of them. okay, here's 11. on here. what are you going 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. but i would rather my bills we paid entering mail my finger precious

. i say it, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want and handed him. i just want to be able to pay money for my kids. that's all i want to be. last tuesday, my husband went to charge for court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest oldest one, asia that judge. look, i just got a job at outdoor pain, however, was shortly to pay. that wasn't good enough that he has be in the 180 days or until his family can come up with 707 roses, a lot of money to me. $10.00 in a lot of money to. so with him gone. what do you communicate for christmas? what he, you know, being i still like the harder i drive for

my kids to be normal before they go back in one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for a very long time, care work has 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 good to say basic income by being unconditional enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. why will we touch 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 him 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 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. ah

ah. and the new choice medical mumbo blog post. actually make sure i keep a twinge, quit that switch on the bus with potential things for me, but i'm going to push will i go to places that edition radius love? do i like my different benefits to be? of course i gamma, which doesn't feel like if we had what i was martin just now do on bench from core or your to your for holding. cuz you were using this to hold. you go to the broker luncheon and scars. we've got to go for discovery here. i've got the new book with more than i did this can literally put us garzo. so this is latoya e young with us on that because i thought if she was the last november meet at

siena with alicia with re lease with a with a late. what is her 3rd to lead the estimate? the moment i'm going to ask them when you visualize that, i've been behind with everything is changing. and one of the elements of this picture is that they're desperate. the attack 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 their 500 years of their donation and the emitter intermediate. a bit odd to

my in china. now about of, of, to my china, they have to 1st to take our trash. mm. ah . most people, i know they laid their 8 hour job and go home and relax that. i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep my clothes changed, my clothes are 1st job, go to the 2nd and the disk and keep me from want to go home. oh, what's the book about this tom? well, it is foolish.
