and now here's my grand great grandmother and grandfather. here it's peaceful. i really like it up here and. and since my family's married here, how does feel like i need to come up here and take care of the same material. mm hm. 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 say i wish i had more time to spend with my family. i wish i could have explored some of my interests of music or ard, 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

a sudden i 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, 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, it will 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, of 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, i had no money. and, you know, i had, i had eat, you can 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 in

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 align left 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 cancel anna is because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10. it's

a full time thing. i live here and go home, start getting ready for them to get home from school. and of course we have to have suffer if their homework is 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 this whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has shook man to the ground crazy. oh. 6 the smarter little place a as the owner warning that works hard is that you just don't want all of us live in a basement with a bag. i gave up the best job i ever had my life when i came back to that girl girl

in the head. it was either that or let them going to states custody. and so i gave it all up, came back out. and i need is there what you have to do? you know, so in 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 for the nearest place. they will because this is the fashion 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. if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly for a time to go around the board, the costco. yeah, another $200.00. you didn't have that to $3.03 time you, pasco, and monopoly, again, would be over in about 3 turns. see that $200.00 you get for passing, go and monopoly. that's universal, basic income. they are no matter what. it's unconditional. you know, it's come, you're getting it, whether you're winning or you lose and, and if you're losing, it can give you a chance. didn't give you hope, it may be just, maybe you could still pull this off in our representatives in, in legislatures and congress. they know the investments payoff, right?

they know that, for example, a $1000000.00 investment in the fish hatchery deal 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 finish and buy them, come and blue slot, or just to visual, say on the bar groceries. here at the bar visualizes out by gas, you know, like stimuli to economy. you know, quite a bit with 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 program. it goes sort of the rubric of the doctor a little bit either further. got here a little low on food out of her. oh oh, did you get infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings

in business? oh, basic income is like infrastructure spending for families. right. 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, or 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. volley mo, came out with money. got yeah. it's harder. again, imagine what she had to go through. i hated to put her in that predicament. and i would never have to put her in a predictor again, if i can, i can help it. but like i said, as long as it's hard to get work, it's harder paid. you know, if you got the money again, hey, it scares me death. i'm a ne, a or if i know of,

i don't buy it after so long, they're gonna come get entire me away from a family in. are you working right now and sign off in our working roof and it's hard on me course on 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 give my kids, you know, we try 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 things, 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 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 with

a $1000.00 and then help you own. i mean it would dial 9. okay. the imagine what it would do for my family made my wife would live better. we went are years much this is mouth are valid. and i mean, the way a moment. the paypal guy, if you don't make careful who a

cash. good bullying into a sober tv toys. no cranium. tv toys. soon enough idea. she ship a duck. lean that ship board of control. you put you on board. so she'll, she'll go delete the mobile by like you said that will only be me out of it. not cigna what's. what's anthony? lucy lee? yeah. we can do a skim shopper room dish but i'll let you drop by your name. oh, crazy that to where you store lot of the my subway but just dory. yes or no. i live here. police get us but we ship it with them. that yes, a gift or to look like you know what of them?

i need a, are you paying school for that for a one. they each double that or up with global. i'm saying years about how she took on my job is to brought the enough leave. few clear . if you take a picture of, i'll go double play, you go so good. i'm up with ah,

lou community and we have 2 choices. when we design programs for the poor, for people who are struggling, we can say you need to prove to me 1st. you're worthy of my health and then i'll help you. ready or 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 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 from the presupposition is that there is a, a belief of inherent good that within 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 years or, or what try with christianity or other belief system that we try to get 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 love 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 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 will misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work. don't you think somebody to paypal or via bill money they wouldn't turn into a dope, a couch, potatoes, work and what we are name. but when i asked people what, what would you do? right? no one has ever to me like, oh, i'll sit on the couch and buy some drugs and some alcohol and be lazy, promulgate this way. if i'm growing a garden and my family go out there that when asked garden, 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 here and get part of my garden house at wrap for us. just 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 and i've actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well, actually most people act like you and your friends in your family base. again, 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 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 worked with, we have seen them do everything from payoff predatory debt. go back to school, get better and point opportunities to like be 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 and the power i use the for so stay and on top of paying the bills in the household, things i was having to like take the baby to play so you know, they, you know, you can't really just really have the baby is food, so on baker, allowing him to be somewhere where he can also not, not just being watched, but also learning a me i was able

to go ahead and enroll him in daycare in the and is focused on school as my sake a semester. he and medical bill and they all coating as i finished that semester, i made the dean's list. there was very exciting. i got my ged, i graduated in june. i was very excited about that. are for sale. really. one of the things that he cannot hinder me from, you know, job basically we're good 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 a better career opportunities in the they just looked at the school and it, it was paid off, dead individuals, labor charbonneau lives now. and you were polls of valentine bay. it was the name side. you can make them with the keys in 6 months for the baby

girls when they had a gar. mary had a when, how was it. c me and i get up there was a fine, oh my god, i have to do something to tear the golden road on a row in. i looked up a he boy, he bo, he crying hard and air reward. you know, there was, it was exciting. well, knowing paying $50000.00. yeah, she started it. she started the that the rural, all crying. yes. mom actually i was on madness with cancer hearts. and so they also want our relationship close to between the, you know, my mom got home and you know, she needed a lot, or she is mer to stay in a queen o name she here with the below. she'll with the key. so now, harby and now, 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 their other guaranteed income pyle is 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, where do i go? a family milan, katie boley movie. we were able to celebrate a lab of when they read, you know, times before holidays and just count by actually being able to get together as a family. i have so many beans lie and up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in bees ministration. i met some great people, great,

great things, way let me know when cost a brief to come talk to them. so i'm very excited with not just say people did you know, and looking out for you just to see did you're trying to do something, you know, to change a life new situations, vanity or waiting like kamani. and we're happy to share with of what you think is gonna happen when the program and 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 not trusting individuals. 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 are 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 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 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 lee. this is a moment for debate because the future of our families and our children is really upset. cash to me, it's freedom, it, it, it's bringing. it gives you options that without that you do not have a casual, asked 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 bay and let go from jobs that are never going to come back. racket medical bills are never going to be able to pay, you know, by the way,

a global freakin contagion level pandemic. hard to feel very good about a drug mail. don't you think you 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 with a quite different amount of post extra charge. keep a twinge, protecting chunk,

the bike, and then potentially move things for me. but i'm going to push more than i go to place. get that up radius, love it. bullish no matter what, that's my different benefits you want to get pushed. and i, that's what i mean that i can, i will push that to feel like we are much cuz my goodness, no contact from core or your to your for holding a picture. where is this to hold? you go to the broker insurance card company or what it covers it. i've got the new book with more can i do this can literally put us. 5 or so this is latoya e yeah, put us on a do cross gaza restorative field and the last november me that sema, what does it cost to ship with release? good would be the all clear. what? because i get local. so to most of which were the only stuff i've had

a late, what didn't hurt or somebody that's been a minute. i couldn't ask them for anybody to let them leave the line with my boss. do i need them to come with key at the washington state? the process is to the dealer. molly complete with us, spoke with you guys to phone us in the fall. could i get you a suggestion?

would you say a professional lithium? do you put up a list of all but each with ah ah, and everything is changing and one of the elements of this picture is the desperate, the attack of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. their real aim is, of course, saving their 500 years of their donation and the emitter intermediate, a sub domain of, of, to my china. they have to 1st to take our trash ah

ah, with keeping you to a large extent, the level of prosperity achieved in colonial countries is based on stealing from africa. research in europe do not find that america slammed the western countries for exporting their former colonies and his latest remarks about the emerging world as russia solid braces, annual unity day. british military intelligence had plans to set up a group of ukrainian partisan big crimea to attack russian target according to lead documents obtained by investigative news outlet. the grange we hear from the websites keep editor.
