11:30 am
the, the most people i know they laser i, they are job and go home and relax, but i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep summer clothes change my clothes, the 1st job, go to the 2nd and this keeps an evening from wanting to go home. what's the book about this time? oh well it is finishing up to a piece of mailbox. it was, it was um, oh yeah, i have listen to some of that one with you of the need so you didn't have to maybe work is hard to get by. you did uh maybe spend more time with your loved ones. why you still
11:31 am
have them margaret? this is my grandpas sister. she came off a horse in a curve and i found her on the bank and over here's my grand great grandmother and great grandfather. here it's peaceful. i really like it up here. and then since my family's buried here, how does feel like i need to come up here and take care of the secretary the i disliked volunteer and do things 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
11:32 am
could have explored some of my interest 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 100 is we already spend billions 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 banks to tie them over if they encounter a serious illness. 50 percent americans don't have that kind of savings to get them
11:33 am
over that kind of an offense to come on in the house here. it is what it is, but i'm happy here. must rocks very much of over. i seriously thought i was the help this person ever. i also just feel like someone helped me and my spine with an x and my blood pressure was 380 over 260. and then they finally came in and decided that i've 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 to my blood pressure down very, very low. because if it gets too high, it will rupture in use dead wherever you're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with
11:34 am
a potentially fatal health issue. there's, there's so much stress, you know, uh on the financial end of it because you're getting these phone calls every day and, and every attorney i would call it was like a $11200.00 just to file bankruptcy. and i'm thinking, or you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to file for bankruptcy. you know, of my um, cardiovascular specialist or vendor bill, he wrote on my medical records, they 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 a 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 to, i had to eat the look at
11:35 am
someone like you can look at me right now. perhaps and, and maybe think of it perfectly healthy, but you don't know what's going on inside someone's by the feel it, we spend another trillion dollars on spend other trillion dollars on tax cuts for wealthy people. do you see the effects of wealthy people spending those tax cuts that we give them insulin o 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, the bubbles up from the ground right with, if everybody has a decent amount of economic security and has money to spend, then economic activity will spiral upwards and community like so on the left in the army originally. and when i got out,
11:36 am
i just didn't come back home. i just started work for 2070 the reason that i'm here back in, so i is because uh i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are uh, 11 and 10 and its a full time thing. i live here and go home, start getting ready for them to get home from school. and then of course we have to have supper. and if their homework gets their bass and it's bad time and ready to start all over again. they've been through a lot of debate as small as they are the same things and heard things and the child should, you know, drugs is really bad thing here in this whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has showed minded the world. 6 smarter live so you can do whatever you as the owner at one and
11:37 am
a half works hard, is that you're just doing well. all of us live in a basement. in fact, i gave up the best job i ever had in my life when i came back to take care of girls in that it was either that or let them go into states custody. and so i gave it all up, came back out, and i need this the what you have today. you know, so the there you go, i do think about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here. and they have to drive 30 or 45 minutes to look for the nearest place
11:38 am
blue because 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 money, you know, everybody has something to spend and they can spend it in, in each of these businesses. and that creates an upward spiral of economic activity that can revitalize. the small town likes lajna. and if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly tray time to go around the board, the costco, get another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03 time you pass go in monopoly. the game would be over and about 3 turns. see that $200.00 you get for passing, go with monopoly. that's universal, basic income. there no matter what, it's on conditional, you know it's come, you're getting it,
11:39 am
whether you're winning or you lose. and if you're losing, it can give you a chance, so you can give you hope that maybe just maybe you can still pull this off the, our representatives in the legislatures, the congress, they know the investments pay off, right? they know that, for example, a $1000000.00 investments in the fish hatchery it fail, 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 fish and buy them, come and do a lot of just to fish and say, i have to buy groceries here. have to buy fusion license. i have to buy gas, you know, they, they stimulate the economy, you know, quite a bit the right, this is why our representatives fight for money in washington to bring back to our
11:40 am
communities. because they know that these investments can have multiplier effects that bring in much more than the cost of those programs and go straight out to the river just did the job offer just got a crown infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings and business basic income is like infrastructure spending for families, right, and 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, for 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. finally, my wife came up with some money and got yeah. it was hard on
11:41 am
a gain. imagine would you had to go through the i hated to put her in that predicament and i would never had to put her in that project. me again if i can't help it. but like i said, as long as hard to get work, it's hard to pay, you know, if you can get the money to pay, it scares me, death and any day. or if i know if i don't pay it after so, and they won't come and take me away from my family and are you working right now? i'm fine off at all. i'm working rogues and it's hard on me course. i'm notice you guys knows my is the, it's hard on me because i retain fluid and stuff. but i get it done. i, when i have to because my kids, you know, we tried to go to a doctors office. they wouldn't accept him because they don't have insurance. and then that goes all the way back to the money saying no money. so because you don't
11:42 am
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 they've, they've 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 and not hurt him a got him. so would the $1000.00 and then help you a i mean it would gone on mine to okay them. i can't imagine what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better. we would argue as much is allowed as our valid and the and then the intel, the table. ok. maybe there we go for
11:43 am
the the hello and welcome to across the board. here we discussed some real in the same room. just don't have to shape house because the engagement equals the trail.
11:44 am
when so many find themselves will to part, we choose to look so common ground the the 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 that you're worthy of my health. and then i'll help you. ready more 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 face and you. we believe that you're
11:45 am
going to do something good with that health. and that's what it basic income does. i'm just a couple of different things. the 1st of physician is that there is a, a belief of inherent good as that was in people. there's a common belief in understanding that most people are basically good. i believe in that the we say that you ought to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern. so you know, some people don't have boot straps to pull up. some people don't have hands to pull them. some people don't have feet to put them on the specific is or what try, refreshing your other police system that we are
11:46 am
not jesus. i think it ought to be good enough for us to the 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 misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work. so do you think some of these people like be gabriel, money they wouldn't turn into uh dope a couch, potatoes, porch and what we are name. mm hm. but when i ask people, well 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. so i'm
11:47 am
looking at this way. if i'm growing a garden and my family go out there that with national guard and we work hard on that. so you're saying i should just open the door and let the neighbor down the road. it didn't work so hard. come in here and get part of my garden. how is that right? for us of 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 they 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 them. and we have actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well actually most people act like you and your friends and your family, basic income pilots 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 a $125.00 residence and made less than the cities,
11:48 am
annual median income. one of those recipients spend the money on surprise. groceries paying bills, you know, the same things you and your family would probably spend the money onto the 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 pay off predatory debt, go back to school, get veterans point opportunities to like be or 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 in the power path. i use the for so maybe things staying on top of paying the bills in household things i was having to
11:49 am
like take the baby to glaze so you know they, you know, you can't really just really have the baby is close though. um, daycare. allow him to be somewhere where he can also not, not just be watched but also learn the me. i was able to go ahead and enrolled him in daycare, in the end is focused on school southern las vegas, the military and medical bill in the coding. as i finish that semester, i made the dean's list, there was a very exciting gama g. b. i graduated in june, i was very excited about that and because it was really one of the things that he counter handed me from you know, job basically where the job was 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
11:50 am
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, individuals, and that the school individual paid off that individuals labor shopping now lives close valentine's day it was uh, his name's diety. you can make them with the keys 6 months from today. how's when a guy mary had a williams. c and i get off the line. oh my god, i have to do something to 2 years ago the road i got a row and i looked up a blue table. he crying hard in air, roared it was the excited yeah, she started the she started the, the ripple trying. i actually was on that and i was looking at so far so, so they also want our relationship. awesome to explain why, you know,
11:51 am
my mom got sick and you know, she needed a lot more. she got mad at the inquiry, she helped with the video she and with the kids. so now her being down, you know, just to return the favor just to be like mom, we're for you just like you was here for me. even though it is a guaranteed income pilot, and 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 a subsidy dedicated to one particular bank. or most importantly, we do like a family model or a foley movie. we were able to celebrate
11:52 am
a lot they we forbes holidays and just count prior to actually being able to get together as a family have so many things lined up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in bees and ministration. i made some great people with bright things, way let me know when cost a breeze to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about the people you know, and looking out for you just see that you're trying to do something, you know, change your life, easy generations. they are waiting like come on and we have this up, i think is gonna happen when the program ends. you know, i believe that we spent
11:53 am
a lot of time thinking about what happens when something ins. and to me, that's a clarifying. i'm not trusting individuals. so if i am going to say that i trust you enough to give you money and know that, and you are going to do what you and your family need. i have to say that i trust you enough to have put a plan in place for when is money and stuff. so i believe that individuals are going to continue to do whatever they need to do to take care of themselves and their think on the, 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
11:54 am
is a moment to leave. this is a moment for debate because the future of our families and our children is really a state cash to me. it's freedom and it is bringing. it gives you options that without and you do not have 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 an 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 and not pitch. so it's something i really want for, you know, the disadvantaged 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. take this opportunity and see that we do not have unlimited time. and so my ask for you all
11:55 am
tonight is for you to take this new vision of the economy. this trick a lot for economy, this human centered economy, this vision and make it yours. i don't, no doubt picked up on it or not, but right now things are less than ideal for a huge number of people in this country. people are being let go from jobs that are never going to come back racking medical bills are never going to be able to pay, you know, by the way, a global freaking contagion level pandemic. hard to feel very good about, say, traveling. don't you think you feel a little better if you had slightly more assurance that you and your family were going to be ok? we really believe in the land of the free lunch act, blankets slip that 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. as you be, i think about the,
11:56 am
