12:32 am
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 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 hunkers, 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?
12:33 am
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 over. i seriously thought i was the help this 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
12:34 am
the force of the blood. which means i have my blood pressure down very, very low. because he gets too high, you have a 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 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
12:35 am
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 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 l a perfectly healthy. but you don't know what's going on inside someone's body in it, 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
12:36 am
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 in a community, likes alliance glass in the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started work so young for 2070 there isn't that i'm here. back and so on. i was because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10. it's a full time in saying, i live here and go home, 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. they've been through a lot to be as small as they are and same things and heard things and that the child shouldn't. you know,
12:37 am
drugs is really bad thing here in this whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has shown amanda the grand baby. oh there's a also wanna warn that works hard that you just don't want all of us to 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
12:38 am
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 put for the nearest place. it will with 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 time ago around the board,
12:39 am
the costco. yeah, another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03 time you, pasco, and monopoly. the gang 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 when and or you lows in and if you're losing it can give you a chance. and she gave you hope it may be just, maybe you could still pull this off in our representatives in, in legislatures and congress. they know that 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 free and buy them, come into slot,
12:40 am
or just to visual, say i have to buy groceries here at the bar vision lives example by gas. you know, like those terms like to economy, you know, quite a bit with 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 programs go stored up in the river cuz the doc is a little bit either further. buffalo offer has got a girl. 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, to pay for the infrastructure that they need, whether it's child care or whether it's housing, whether it's food closing, or
12:41 am
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, came out with money and got yeah. it was hard on. again, imagine what she had to go through a hated to put her in a predicament, and i would never have to put her in a project near 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 if i don't buy it after so long, they're gonna come get in. typed me away from a family and are you working right now and sign off and on working roof and it's hard on me course. i'm notice you guys knows my hands and stuff. it's hard on
12:42 am
me cuz i retain fluid and stuff. but i get it now and i, when i have to get my kids, you know, we tried 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 your health. we don't care what's going on with you. we're not going to tell you good by maybe days all turned him 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 would a $1000.00, a man help you i mean it would god my okay, them back at magic, what it would do for my family made my wife would live better. we would our years
12:43 am
much is mounted our balance. and i mean, i'm on the paypal guy. you know, if you don't make careful mm. mm. a resource for a
12:44 am
whole new world. we have to see the kind of an engagement with maybe find themselves. well, the more we choose to look so common ground ah, need to come to the russian state will never be. i've started as i'm phoning those landscape div asking him then i'll send them up for a group in the 55 when. okay, so mine is gonna be the one else with will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia for date and school r t spoke that given our video agency,
12:45 am
roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and with me, ah ah, you mean, 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,
12:46 am
you're worthy of my health. and then i'll help you. ready or we can treat people the way we treat our families or 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 basic income just a couple of different things. the present physician 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. 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
12:47 am
to be a person of faith, no matter what was specifically a lot of in years 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. that 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 bew
12:48 am
gabriel 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 said to me like, oh, i'll sit on the couch and buy some drugs and some alcohol and be lazy. i look at this way. if i'm growing a garden in my family, go out there. have a nice garden wait, 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. how's that wrap for us? this 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 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 camp outs have been done all over the world, and generally they do not find that people misuse the cache or stop working when
12:49 am
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 a $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 every bank on payoff, predatory debt, go back to school, get better and coin opportunities to like be or more engaged parents to re establish relationships really does have an opportunity to show up and live there
12:50 am
full lives. and that's the beauty and power pairs. i use the for so many things. stay on top of paying the bills in the household, things. i'll save it to light, take the baby declaim so you know me, you know, you can really just really have the babies. oh, so oh baker, allowing him to be somewhere where he can now, so not, not just be watched, but also learning. 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 building. 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 because ill, really, one of the things that he cannot hinder me from, you know,
12:51 am
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 of plan for themselves and their families. no one quit working. individuals went and got better career opportunities in the videos without the school, and it was paid off dead. and it was labor show up in our lives. 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 were in a gar. mary had a when i was nervous and i get up. there was a fine. oh my god, i have no stump into tears. the golden road on a row in i looked up a he boy, he bo, he crying hard and everyone, you know, was, it was excited. well, you know, he hasn't. yeah. he started it. he started the that the rural,
12:52 am
all crying. yes ma'am. actually, i was on a magnet school council 1st and so they also want our relationship close to between the you know, my mom got the mom and you know, she needed a lot or she is mer to stay in the queen. oh, 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, there are other guaranteed income pilots 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
12:53 am
a subsidy dedicated to one particular b. most importantly, where do i go? a family milan, katie boley movie. we were able to sell her a lab when they, we, you know, times before holidays just count by 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 in diesel's administration. i met some great people who it's great think they let me know when i crossed the bridge to come pop to them. so i'm very excited about a, you know, just say people did, you know, and looked map for you just to see did you're trying to do something, you know, to change your life. you situations then in your awaiting kamani and we're happy to
12:54 am
share with what you think is gonna happen when the programs you know, 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 enough, they have 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
12:55 am
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 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 cash allows 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,
12:56 am
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 free 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 draft mail. 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 blanket slip 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.
