Building a Better Future: The Universal Basic Income Solution

Conrad Shaw and Scott Santens, founders of the Income To Support All Foundation (ITSA), share their journey in supporting various UBI initiatives, highlighting personal stories and the challenges faced, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Does the U.S. economy generate enough wealth per capita to eradicate poverty through UBI? What happened to the Child Tax Credit, which had cut childhood poverty in half? Understanding UBI's benefits comes from experiencing it firsthand, contrasting it with welfare programs, and anticipating the massive economic shifts that Artificial Intelligence will affect in both white and blue collar jobs. Explore Conrad and Scott's experiences in creating the Bootstraps documentary series, which chronicles families receiving UBI and showcases its positive impacts over several years. Lastly, learn about Comingle, a mutual aid platform where community members support each other financially based on weekly income fluctuations.Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/N-7zQ2gZI8AFollow Conrad Shaw: https://x.com/theubiguy | https://www.comingle.us/Follow Scott Santens: https://twitter.com/scottsantens | https://www.instagram.com/scottsantensFollow Andrew Yang: https://twitter.com/andrewyang | https://andrewyang.comGet 50% off Factor at https://factormeals.com/yang50Get an extra 3 months free at https://expressvpn.com/yangGet 20% off + 2 free pillows at https://helixsleep.com/yang code helixpartner20----Subscribe to Forward:Apple — https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1508035243Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/25cFfnG3lGuypTerKDxKia
