omg "an intervention"? Please let me pull out my Miss Nancy mirror again and show her the Democratic party responsible for all that alcoholic behavior she's referring to in the first six minutes. She's running for the D nomination for crying out loud, that represents the essence of sick co-dependency in my view. keep going

Marianne Williamson is a true blue Democrat. I won't become her co-dependent inside that drunk party, look at what they've done locally to the city, the state, the nation. Did she step outside that church and talk her esoteric talk to the street people? Is the suicide net up on the Golden Gate Bridge yet? argh!

Despite those harsh words, I will keep listening until the end and try to grasp what it is that mhagle and others see in her candidacy. Thanks

PEACE

Edit: Okay I'm done it took me all day off and on, and I'm glad I watched it. The problem is me! lol "The people who voted for Jill Stein are the problem" Marianne said going down her litany of complaints. Finally the nail has been driven home in my head and in my heart, I will never ever vote Democrat again as long as I live. She did it from San Francisco for me, so that is kismet I think. gratitude

My own hopes are totally dashed, oh well. I'd give my right arm for a political party that represented me. Thanks. right arm

...which is why Americans cannot "hear" it. Too much noise in the brain, especially older brains. Thus, too uninformed to have any sort of meaningful conversation about it. Plus, they are extremely hostile about it. Some kind of trigger in the brainwashing.

The Freedom Dividend is a universal basic income of $1,000/month, $12,000 a year, for every American adult over the age of 18. This is independent of one’s work status or any other factor. This would enable all Americans to pay their bills, educate themselves, start businesses, be more creative, stay healthy, relocate for work, spend time with their children, take care of loved ones, and have a real stake in the future.

A Universal Basic Income at this level would permanently grow the economy by 12.56 to 13.10 percent—or about $2.5 trillion by 2025—and it would increase the labor force by 4.5 to 4.7 million people.  Putting money into people’s hands and keeping it there would be a perpetual boost and support to job growth and the economy.

The most direct and concrete way for the government to improve your life is to send you a check for $1,000 every month and let you spend it in whatever manner will benefit you the most. The government is not capable of a lot of things, but it is capable of sending large numbers of checks to large numbers of people promptly and reliably. We have plenty of resources, they’re just not being distributed to enough people right now. Let’s build a new kind of economy – one that puts people first. If there’s one policy that would transform American lives for the better, it is Universal Basic Income.

The Problems:

• Approx. 40 million Americans live below the poverty line.
• Technology is quickly displacing a large number of workers, and the pace will only increase as automation and other forms of artificial intelligence become more advanced. ⅓ of American workers will lose their jobs to automation by 2030 according to McKinsey. This has the potential to destabilize our economy and society if unaddressed.
• Good jobs are becoming more and more scarce and Americans are already working harder and harder for less and less.
• It is necessary to support and preserve a robust consumer economy.
• Many Americans are stuck in the wrong jobs because of a need to survive.
• There are many positive social activities that are currently impossible for many to do because they lack the financial resources to dedicate time to it, including taking care of a child or sick loved one, and volunteering in the community.

The Solution:

Universal Basic Income, or UBI, is a version of Social Security where all citizens receive a set amount of money per month independent of their work status or income. Everyone from a hedge fund billionaire in New York to an impoverished single mom in West Virginia would receive a monthly check of $1,000. If someone is working as a waitress or construction worker making $18,000, he or she would essentially be making $30,000. UBI eliminates the disincentive to work that most people find troubling about traditional welfare programs – if you work you could actually start saving and get ahead. With the growing threat of automation, the concept has gained renewed attention, with trials being run in Oakland, Canada, and Finland as well as in India and other parts of the developing world.
