it's my family's buried here. i just feel like i need to come up here and take care of the same material. i dislike to volunteer and i do things from our 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 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 into the hunger games,

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 an 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

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 potentially fatal health issues. 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 will call it like 801200 bucks just to file bankruptcy. no, 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 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 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 my to spend, then economic activity will spiral upwards and community like someone else in the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started work so young for 27. there isn't that i'm here back in so on. i was because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are a 11 and paying the full time in saying i live here and go home and start getting ready for them to get home from school. and of course, we have to have supper and if their homework get their bass and it's bad time and

ready to start all over. and they've been through a lot to be as small as they are, and same things and 3rd things. and that the 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 grand baby girl. 6 6 was smart enough there, whatever it was, the owner warning map works hard that you just didn't well, 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 take care of the girl in the head. it was either that or let them go into 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 think about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here than to have to drive 30 or 45 minutes to for the nearest place. it will because it's, this is masha and nowadays we really would like to say the town come alive again, like i said, we just need more people that are willing to invest in the community. if we give everybody any, 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 time ago around the board, the costco, yet another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03 time you, pasco, and monopoly, again, 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 unconditional. you know it's come, you're getting it. whether you're winning or you lose it. and if you're losing, it can give you a chance to give you hope that maybe 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, 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 travel here just to finish and buy them, come and do slot. i'll just to virgil, say at the bar groceries here at the bar vision losses at the bar. guess, you know, those terms like 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 go straight up, we'll revisit that off a little bit either further, but here a lot. oh, for years got a girl. oh oh, did you ah, infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business. 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 or medical expenses. these are all infrastructure investments as well in the productive power of our people and our families in our communities. volley mo grandma's money and got me out here is 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 year 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 i, it scares me death that 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. and are you working right now in finance of an hour working rubin?

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 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 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 they all turned him down and he didn't show it to you guys, but when he slid down the hill over there to catch land in that heard him a got him a $1000.00 and then help you aid i mean it would god,

oh mine. okay. them back at imagine what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better. we went our years much is mounted daughter valen. let me go buy a moment into the paper. okay. if you don't make careful. mm. mm a dish. oh,

this was a blog post estimates you asked me to keep a twinge, quit document on the bus and then the dimensions for me, but i want to push with a different benefits. you have to push my luck with gamma, which doesn't feel like if we had to watch a bunch of them. are you holding the picture where he's using this tool or just go to the broker insurance card company or what his company gorbenko's mom did us completely put us a. 5 we just put a boy e. yeah, i would estimate because i thought if she was the last no, with

a little so to was for the lease that happened in the end of my work up a late wouldn't hurt to let the spend a minute with the line with a. ringback ready because she's in your space here with barclay's new that was a name, is us a still national leader,

which is obviously you still with you on the limited lead from when you do, i don't. but who do a medical with national anthem a you have to scan to copy from wanted a new don't leave it with . mm me ah

ah, 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 comes to us . i just up a couple of different things from the presupposition is that there is a, a belief of inherent good that was in 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 people been, is or, 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 sure that it was good enough for jesus. i think it ought to be good enough for us to

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 talk to somebody to paypal it . gabriel money they wouldn't turn into a dope, a couch, potatoes, work, and what we are name. but when i asked people, 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 by looking at this way. if i'm growing a garden in my family, what there have a nice garden weight work hard on that. so you're saying that she just opened the door and let the neighbor down the road. it didn't work so hard. come in or, and get part of my garden house at rat for us. this kind of resistance is almost

a question of human nature. you know what, 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 cache or stopped 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 residents are 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 worked with, we have seen them do everything from payoff, predatory debt. go back to school, get better and coin that opportunities to like be, are more engaged parents to re establish relationships. really does have an opportunity to show up and live there full lives. the then that's the beauty and the power pairs. ah, i use the for so maybe things 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 me, 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 but also learned.

ah me. i was able to go ahead and now enrolled him in daycare in the and just focus on school on my sake of the military and medical bill in the coding. as i finished that semester, i made the dean's lease, there was very exciting. i got my ged, i graduated in june. i was very excited about that because ill, really, one of the things that he cannot hinder me from job basically, well 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 didn't look at the school and it was paid off dead individuals, labor, charbonneau, mazda, and you were poles of van bay,

it with side. you can make them with the keys in 6 months for the baby. girls were in a gar. mary had a when i was a murder visa and i get up there on this line. 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 everyone, you know, was, it was exciting. well, you know, you pay 50000. yeah, she started it. she started the that the rural, all crying. yes. mom actually i was on madness with cancer, heart city. so they also want our relationship close to within the, you know, my mom got the oh, and you know, she needed a lot, or she is mer to stay in a quiet oh, name she here with the below. she a, with the key it. so now, harby and now, you know, just to return a favor just to be like, mom,

we're for you just like use here for me all, even though it is a guaranteed income pilot in their other guaranteed income pilot 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? family, milan, gayety, bow lane movie. we were able to celebrate a lab when they, we, you know, times before holidays and just count as a matter of actually being able to get together as a family. and i have so many things lined up. i'm actually going to be

looking for a job, a home baez's administration. i met some great people who is right the way, let me know when i cross the bridge to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about a, you know, just say of people, you know, and looked an app for you, jason c. date you're trying to do something, you know, to change a life new situations than in your awaiting kamani. and we're happy to help with that. 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 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 a stag. cashed 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 ban. 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 draft. now, 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

with

i'm willing it a so booty toya know cranium. t coyer to anemia. idea. she ship dr. lien chip with control. you put you on board so you should, she'll be at the mobile banking system will only be me ever did not sing the vice president of lucy leah with er insurance. actually, it's tim jeff arkell room. there's a crazy dental there used to modern day. my subway, but just dory. yes or no. i live, she believes skaters, but every shipper said yes, they got a daughter to look like. you know what of them? i need a new school was with that for a one. they reached over the course

with global. i'm saying years about how she took on my job is to provide you enough room for a few quick to take a picture, go double play, you go so good. i'm not pleased with everything is changing. and then 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 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 take out russian. mm

ah ah, would you please dipping you to a large extent the level of prosperity achieved in colonial countries is based on stealing from africa. researches in europe do not hide this white america and slammed the western countries for exploiting their former colonies. in its latest remarks about the emerging world, as russia celebrates its annual unity day, british military intelligence had plans to set up a group of ukrainian partisans in crimea to attack worse and according to lease documents obtained by investigative news outlet, the greys l. we hear from the websites chief editor.
