explored, she's shackled to a good interest, right? this app, she drag shackled to medical bills for ailments, so they could have their own student loans, their default. they know it's an oppressive in this heart and the state of affairs that leaves people doing whatever they can just describe back because they don't have any other choice. and that's not freedom. but a universal basic income can give you afraid of 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 seconds of every day. the bombing up until literally the 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 tre crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read drake. router little read will to try crowded long time. no scheme. i want to talk to you about something is deeply personal to my payables. lot people asked me what to think about by live matter. well, put simply, i find that they do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance, you know. and so i wouldn't do i intramural sports and stuff like that in college, but i sincerely, because i was like, well, you know, when i blow money out or something, i'm screwed. and now it's just those types of things just knowing that you're on the precipice. so if i take ruin all the time. yeah, it's extremely stressful. i know for a fact just the technically that

a lot of people in this country are living 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 that my son couldn't afford the life setting the saving medication he needed for swimming on a planet picture is simply staggering. the pandemic is also causing many to go hungry. my bills are going to back up, but i'm going to be in trouble here. couple a 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've heard about the idea of the universal basic income. it was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go. that's at least a solution because we're going to 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 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 kinda look back on those programs and food stamps and all of that the same way that i look back on the final season, a game of thrones. i'm still glad that it exist, but it could have and should have been. so much better, we deserve better. you be, i is actually not a new idea. in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas paint, you know, the guy who 1st convinced people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. martin luther king junior was for you. we are one of answers. it seems to me is, are guaranteed to annual income, a guaranteed minimum income of people. and pro pamela is about going to of 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, the meanings souls fight with no friends for human dignity that sold by the lions a welfare of welfare children. the day one started in america actually already has a form of basic game alaska. each year they take a portion of the states, oil revenue and distributed to every man, woman and child, to be an example for the world are relates. and the last goes on to be extremely proud of it, because as a whole concept of people owning your resources and government having to take the money back from the people instead of the government getting the money in parcel in this out. and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people term, the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic, they look screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income and the rest of the country? taxes?

yeah, said the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to in corporate welfare, get big tech to pay its fair share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net the world has ever seen. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back isn't going to some big solis government bureaucracy . it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. the toby 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 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 dislikes, quite little southern town with you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good at the town square, as you know,

just little amount of hot businesses, a store for us, that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the town was economy. it was this big clothing factory where most people work and that's for my mom work. that's where i am a neighbor caller to come out there for a long, long time and then of my tubs. my dad, he was, he was the head engineer. and my mom, she actually so have her body and so on that you talk cable. this worked osh kosh osh kosh. that's kosh then. if you heard of osh kosh, val gosh, or whatever, yeah. for decades, the center of the towns economy was large clothing factory and then the mid ninety's after night it made like a stone or at midnight and went south of the border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there and the 20 plus year stance. and

as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizons so, so on the, in my opinion is like a textbook example of the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income. and it also mistakes. but you think the people there would be all for it would, but i don't know that that is true. the there it is saying that the crime used to be honest, gospel gosh factories. yes. my gosh, it is. how long do you know how long it was here? the factory was here and when he clothes 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 maybe a factory was going to be close. and i mean people stop coming in to the restaurant and spending 4 bucks on, you know, a so or something like that. if it was 3 for $5.00,

people stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe, my mom and dad are running the video store and the car lot. and that by the time i graduated high school, that i'm literally all going to say. and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strong out. i'm going to jail my, my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happens, you know, and like it affected like literally everything is pretty much the ripple effects under dan dot see. yeah. i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like just the hits just kept on coming. the saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well i've no, i mean i don't know hand that yeah, i'm not looking for hand. well here's the white bring, bring the job back. that's what you need to do politicians. but like, i mean,

can't 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 the problem. i would love to also see how they respond to that check. right, right. see what they did, right? presumably they biased or, you know, finally get like the find out faced on their car or whatever that i've been putting 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 fear, radically a big portion of it would get like pump straight back into just sure the general economy because they're gonna spinning all the things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time cuz i ain't had no money to do the idea of giving unconditional cash may not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this out a pay check 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 and 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 with the universal basic income when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without merit that and encourages lazy. next source, warren buffet 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. the know you might, this trust is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. the men know you must trust. 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 child in the matter a month,

so i have 2 kids and 2018 and they know you mothers trust is one of the it is taking a population that works so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying we see, we honor your story, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. the they will be on us from main display, forgives for support. my kids tell me pay deals and have enough to stretch from month to month when my mom was in abusive relationships. my dad was very, very so when i get into my relationship model that she was abusive and i was like, when never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh, all in a relationship that i mean it's not working for me. you have to break the cycle

somewhere and so that's what i did. i'm going to jason and i broke besides this a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use i have, i would like demons. i don't know. i just won't go crazy. that one night with me and my body's way here. we actually fell asleep on the couch . and oh, same that's what was right here, right outside the door. so shots are the 1st thing they came to my mind square up my babies after you for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm not staying here forever. i will get back to school, pay out some dis agency to raise my credit score. so that i can get the home that i want for me and my little take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just

a shifted reality distortion by how us tied to vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few. fractured images presented is 1st. can you see through their illusion going underground? can the position i would suggest in belgrade was suggesting that we send americans in and uh, the bridges on the drain and put on your bill is us on the move dining room

probably now and they'll talk soon. but as to when you see it, all the owners will tell you that it will save you from esl classes. you know, the middle of it is what i need to file a past most most, most of all it does in this one is known as the guidelines source or cit, emotional around noon. you know, a lot less radioactive than the something it's active uranium, but still it's radioactive and it has toxins that i think he killed the laptop. you want me to go and see so easy. let's say that again, let's see the echo seats. the boeing good. i don't, you know, those usually demolish were suggesting we farm fell great the web bill because of what they were just 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 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? how are they more engaged in their local community? are they are more engaged in our kids school? are they more engaged in their own self care? are they able to now look towards careers and not just the job because is they have the freedom, the, the, the blue shirt. um you pretty much give me a verify. getting the middle one dressed and ready, take him to the bus. stop a lease by $545.00. do you need him off of school or actually come back to the house? oh, this one she's getting ready?

probably this will arrive no later than 655, actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering the turbo tuesday once you get the code and come along, sir. come, let me see. let me see. can i see the rating myself and also be in place a like 720 some light rushing, rush. so i think of a lack of sleep is very challenging. i want to at least get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. i want a job. this is going to make is me. i want to be able to save and, you know, take trips and do all of the things too. so and the 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 for you and your family can drive you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually so streams. this is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very size about these are not really having too many like rules or just tell you what are you at and you have to spend it on or how much you have to say let me say in our when i was on tanf these motors for gays, you have to put this, this is for gas and transportation. well, he see that though, i see you. i'm not here. you can say food stamps and pay lie. be like, you 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 going to be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what it is that they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. this actually a mis most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in, in the complication of the systems that they're not wife. and they're just in effect that for example, if you're on 10 of your case worker to say ok, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided and getting that job, no child care is provided. why you are looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks and you were saying, since in most cases, that means that you will lose your smith for 90 days. that's what that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring the church household. you are to have

to take a moment list, that's thinking that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tanf because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids the need to reach the home. okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families, were saying, oh family. so one of the work r o family, someone or you know, have to take the drug test and we're requiring them to take because their own 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. i think our current and safety net system is not working. and so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite the system. the

everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. every body deserves to be able to have safe and adequate housing. everyone deserves to be able to 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 coal without options cannot call the self civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy, an economy which focuses on the inherent dignity of every person and show 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 and we're raising the more hol, circumstances, and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should see the

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 lows can be very wide ranging hard to quantifier 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 and an efficient and judicious manner, rise as jet. now it's in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd that you are deemed worthy of receiving government simple. the minute you get a job and your income increases that support will decrease. think about the incentives of that that 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. the 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 bales because under you be i, everyone will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic floor on which we all can stay the one to let you know we're having a townhome discussion and cook out tomorrow. i'm just heading out flyers for event . we're having tomorrow at the courthouse, my name is alma so lucky and i'm an associate professor of practice and political science at n y u shanghai. awesome. it's going to be right across the street at the courthouse. ok, and we're going to talk about ways of bringing economic vitality to town. so it's

one of the, the rate is people really understood what the basic income is. i think it be great if this was something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring the broader attention to the idea of these incomes and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. the . the simplest way that i can explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments 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?

that doesn't sound too good to be true. the face, how to go back. exactly whatever. ok, here's one more on your wedding ring 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 that i would rather my bills be pays entering beyond my senior such as i say, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want as an entity, i just want to be able to pay my bill for my kids. that's all i want to be able to

get the last thursday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not are 3, but his oldest otis, when he's younger that judge, look, i just got a job and i'll start paying however much shortly to pay most of it. that wasn't good enough that he was being said, it's a $180.00 days or until his family could come up with $700.00, about $700.00 in waterbury. $310.00 is a lot of money to do. so with hand on, what are you using for christmas? what do you do? have no means of income. no. the soonest, the harder i tried for my kids to be normal. for further they go pack the

one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for very long time care work as being devalued. we've divided care work as the sites. and if we think about what really matters to include society to a society where people able to flourish. and then of course, realize that care shouldn't be putting much more on the center of the conception of a good to say music income by being unconditional enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring, fathers, the why would what we text the wealthy for basic income is because we take 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 . and they're the ones we're doing well. the

right, we're not gonna take all their money for real time keeping up so 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. what else? they just don't have to shape house because the engagement equals the trail.

when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look for common ground, the the magenta itself, the gaining independence and from the form of the ivory coast, remained under the strong influence of its foam and metropolitan. pro french president, felix, who said one year, ruled the country for 33 years, ensuring the interest to from the dead, the gun on painting isn't in the trunk. then there's no simple new foster. larry shifted that goods was done. those who saw him a lot more appropriate after the death of, of a one year, a new lead to long come back, bull came to power. and i'm ready to double feedback. that curious to know for feedback from the was it isn't good enough for tiffany to one of the ones that

the bronze demetrius the dean. good luck. boeing, enemy, a deep political crisis ensued. the walk a, the country 2nd largest city, turned into a theater of war from 130 to the other 2 on the rotors of mortgage. how did the dramatic events unfold? and how is walk a recovering from? he is a bloody conflict. watch on the

or the most people i know they laser 8 hour job and go home and relax, but i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep my clothes, change my clothes, the 1st job, go to the 2nd and this keeps and keeps me from wanting to go home. what's the book about this town where it is free to shoot you a piece of mailbox? it was, it was um, oh yeah, i have listened to some of that one with you.
