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 troy crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read tri crowder little red, tri crowder, long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something that's deeply personal to make pales. a lot of people ask me 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, until i wouldn't do i intermural sports and stuff like that. at 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 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 there. couple student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans, $65.00 and older are in default, and it's always gonna be there for me. personally, i'd heard about the idea of universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go, that's at least a solution cuz we're going to as 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 i grew up in only 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 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 are all one evangelists. it seems to me is a guaranteed annual income or guaranteed minimum income for old people. and for all families of our country. 1969. 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, 5000000 prompts for human dignity that sold by the lives of 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 bill example for the world emulate. no one else has all the big strain we 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 in federal government getting the money and partially moved out. and so who is the crow? greer is exactly the opposite of what some people term to do with them. to be socialistic, it's capitalistic and 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?

says i said at the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to incorporate welfare get big tag to pay its fair 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 is 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 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 home town 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 restore for us, that type of thing and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the tales economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's where my mom worked. that's were outlawed as many people work. am i never collar to come out there for a long time in, in am i tiffs? my dad he was, he was the healing engineer. and my mom, she actually so ever body and saw that you talk a will these work at oshkosh, oshkosh, that nascar that, and if you heard osh kosh, my 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 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 of the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income and then also from a sensible you'd like to people, there would be all for it would. but i don't know that that is true. there it is, say of the crime. is there osh kosh baggage factory? yes, my gosh, he did. how long do you know how long it was here? the fact he was here and when he clothes, people had worked there, 40 years, go 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 graduated high school, it's literally all gone. it was sad and not all, not only is that all gone but like i, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strung out go to jail him. i my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here. when that happened. it was like it affected like literally everything and pray, ripple linux and other than that. yeah. now you know, that was, i mean we, how is that just the hits just kept on common with . i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, i wanna, i mean, i don't wanna hand. yeah. i'm looking for a hand. well, i just want to work bring, bring the job back. you know, you know, politicians, but like, i mean,

can you easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way? oh yeah. i 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 check them in, was had his life day, right? to see what they did for 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 pump straight back into just sure the general economy because there has been an old things that they need, that they haven't been bought 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 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. in magnolia, distrust it, providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families at the magnolia. my distress, it's doing this in the form of a $1000.00 a month for 12 months. i am so excited. it's like my 2nd shell in the matter of my

at 20th and 2018 in magnolia. mother's trust is one of velma. it is taking a population that worked so hard to be seen on a daily basis and really saying we see you, we honor your stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. now there will be all tremendous break for gay is to support my kids. oh, tell me pay bills and hell know for straight from month to month with where my mom was in of the obvious relationship. i day it was very, very for my mom. so when i got my relationship marliss, you was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my key in jeopardy. oh. or in a relationship that i mean is not working for you have to break the cycle somewhere

. so therefore, i mean, i'm older jason and i will provide dis a $1000.00 a month. no strings attached. if you use a hair of our, our light there means i don't know. i just won't go crazy with that one night. well 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 out 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 i spoke with

madison both the model she needed to do with a, a form already a lot of a a with her phone number here. for

a, a a is the aggressor today i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing up in your future. probably the most of course, it's becoming your senior mostly mine or wish you were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g i. g with regard to joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang

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 a job because they hail their freedom? ah more easily a shirt omeo, pretty much getting up a fire, getting all the middle one juris. there were 80 sections of the bus stop police by 545. didn't him off the school were actually come back of the house. oldest one.

she's getting ready. publish wires. millennium is 6. 55. actually having to rush back home. get the baby ready to take your so my mom's house is entering the. busy terrible to say, well what you get back code and come along sir. come, let me see, let me see, can i fi d rady myself in also be in clay as a like 720 some like risha. oh oh. so i think the lack of sleep is marian challenge and 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, 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 those dreams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very silent about these are not really hearing too many like rules are just tell you or you you have to spend it on or how, how much you have to say let me say. and i said i was on tammy of these movies for gays. you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian work. he see that doctor. i see you. i'm not here. you can't say food 1000 pale i b a like he can't take food stamps and

get your medicine. so is, is a big difference being able to just go and do 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 net than they actually are doing what it's 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 system, but they're not why you're just ineffective. for example, if you're on pana, your case worker could say, 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 the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are thankful in most cases that means that you will lose your net for 90 days. what that means is there for 90 days. if you have no way of ensuring that church

household, your kid is half full, take a moment less the thinking 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 be 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 a, you know, have to take the drug test that were required in the tape 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 net system is now working. and so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite 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 can not take care of its children, society that 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 is 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 and an efficient and judicious manner right? as job. now its impact 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. thank about the incentives of that. i can make it so that it 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. it won't let you know. we're having a town hall discussion and cook at floor. i'm just handing out flyers for an event . we're having tomorrow at the courthouse, my name is almost a 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 wanna this. thank you. a great if people really understood what the basic income is, i think would 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 based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like maybe 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? does it sound too good to be true? yeah. mm mm. for slow down with faith. hope you don't want to go by exactly one. mm hm. okay, here's 11 bar 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 give that back. but would rather my bills we paid entering me on my finger. i should say it, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't, one of them ended him. i just want to be able to pay money for my kids. that's all

i want to be last tuesday by has been charged for court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest oldest one, asia that judge. look, i just got a job. i'll start paying. however much to pay. that wasn't good enough. that he is be in the $180.00 days or until his family could come up with $7700.00 and a lot of money to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to share with him. god, what do you communicate for christmas? what he knew no mean to it's still like no harder our dryer for my kids to be normal. preferred or 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 good to say basie 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 with

i will not take all their money will attend, keep an 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 its infrastructure being degraded and the weather turning into winter ukraine faces the stark prospect of becoming a failed state. no amount of western arms can change that harsh reality. why she

didn't care have demonstrated they have no real interest in negotiations. ukraine states has been sealed in 2022. the italian government approved a package of military aid to ukraine. coordination with nature to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a weep, almost even atomic bombs are hearing all the same now and the you are a physician and the one that people will die just for make money. the one that had been yes because while you must, who got thrown in there, if you're gone through, i'm not sure complete. i mean there's water damage with me. you need to be done to get i want for them as well. the more sir me miss joy pezora door store a ballpark. zachary lesson opinion polls show that over 70 percent of italians
