They discuss the Bootstraps docu-series heading to South by Southwest, Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts consultation, and new Guaranteed Basic Income pilots in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. The hosts examine institutional fears of Trump, a new study on bright children in low-income households, and Malaysia's bold push that could make it the first nation with a true UBI. They also explore UBI legislation in Colombia, a UK program for farmers, and the importance of universality in preventing corruption. Alongside these updates, the team dives into how anime (High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World) depicts UBI, the struggles of neurodivergent people navigating bureaucracy, and the reality that Americans spend four hours a day worrying about money. This wide-ranging conversation blends news, culture, and research to highlight why UBI remains one of the most urgent and transformative policies of our time.See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faqDonate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects:https://www.itsafoundation.orgSubscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news:https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeVisit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news:https://basicincometoday.comSign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI:https://www.comingle.usFollow Scott:https://linktr.ee/scottsantensFollow Conrad:https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/Follow Josh:https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Bob Weishaar, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark,Tricia Garrett, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, John Steinberger, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Steve Roth, Miki Phagan, Walter Schaerer, Elizabeth Corker, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun ,' @Justin_Dart , Felix Ling, S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, centuryfalcon64, Deanna McHugh, Stephen Castro-Starkey, Tommy Caruso, and all my other patrons for their support.If you'd like to see your name here in future video descriptions, you can do so by becoming a patron on Patreon at the UBI Producer level or above.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/membership#universalbasicincome #BasicIncome #UBI

If Senator Slotkin wants to use her great-grandfather's story to attack socialism, she'd better start telling the whole truth—because the next generation is telling theirs, and they're not buying what she's selling.

This week, we're trying something new: instead of our usual Next City episode, we're sharing the pilot for “Not My Narrative,” an experimental mini-series that not only debunks harmful myths holding back progress but also elevates the counter-narratives driving positive momentum.In this debut episode of Not My Narrative, Host Lucas Grindley, Executive Director of Next City, takes listeners on an examination of one of America's most pernicious myths: the “pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps” mantra that claims anyone who works hard enough can escape poverty. We trace its origins from 19th-century satire to Reagan, Gingrich, and Clinton, and we'll hear from practitioners who say the “bootstrap” story is quietly determining who merits public assistance, who deserves our sympathy, and who must simply fend for themselves.To unravel its origins and expose its consequences, Luis Ortega, founder of Storytellers for Change, draws on his background in education and community organizing to explain how the bootstraps narrative is woven into our schools, our public discourse, and even our own self-perception. He challenges us to see that when achievement is framed solely as personal grit, it erases entire ecosystems of support—families, neighbors, networks—that actually make success possible.Plus, we revisit two Next City interviews that show what “it takes a village” truly means, as communities care for one another. In Jackson, Mississippi, Aisha Nyandoro, co-founder of Magnolia Mother's Trust, shares how her guaranteed-income pilot for Black mothers demonstrates that material support and dignity go hand in hand. And we revisit a conversation out of Portland, Oregon, where Lisa Larson, vice-chair of Dignity Village, recounts her journey from sleeping on the streets to helping govern a community for the unhoused. If you believe in the power of narrative change—and want more episodes that debunk harmful myths while elevating real-world solutions—please email us at info@nextcity.org and let's think about ways to keep this work going.

The GOP candidate is new to Massachusetts and faces an uphill battle against a popular incumbent, as many voters know little about Deaton.

Title: Gettin' Ready [Verse 1] Feet dusty, kickin' up the dirt, heart pounds, Violin strings hummin' deep, bassline sounds, Failures nippin' at my heels, won't back down, Bootstraps tightened, ready for this showdown. [Chorus] Gettin' ready, mind set like a steel trap, Ain't no stoppin' this here dance, no mishap, Troubles flyin', but I stay in the groove, Failure ain't an option, always on the move. [Verse 2] Life tosses curveballs, don't flinch, just lean, Violin bassline leads, sharp like caffeine, Sweat drips, but I keep my eyes on the scene, Dancin' through the chaos, nothin' in between. [Chorus] Gettin' ready, mind set like a steel trap, Ain't no stoppin' this here dance, no mishap, Troubles flyin', but I stay in the groove, Failure ain't an option, always on the move. [Bridge] Stars might fall and skies might turn grey, But I keep swingin', never goin' astray, With that heavy beat and strings that slay, Bootstraps ready, chase the night and day. [Bridge] Stars might fall and skies might turn grey, But I keep swingin', never goin' astray, With that heavy beat and strings that slay, Bootstraps ready, chase the night and day. [Chorus] Gettin' ready, mind set like a steel trap, Ain't no stoppin' this here dance, no mishap, Troubles flyin', but I stay in the groove, Failure ain't an option, always on the move. always on the move… always on the move.

  If you want to know what matters most to your elected leaders, the answer is found not in their rhetoric, but in their choices during the budget making process. When the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities was founded in 1981, the mission was to understand how federal spending, or the lack of it, impacted low income Americans, particularly their ability to access healthcare and housing. It also provided policymakers with alternative strategies for meeting human needs with fiscal integrity. As Peggy Bailey, Executive Vice President of Programs and Policy shares on this episode of Power Station, the Center not only brings rigor to federal budget analysis it focuses on and is a resource to state budget making as well. And its internal process has evolved too. All Center departments operate from a justice framework, with staff holding themselves and each other accountable to shared values, from centering racial equity to including those with lived experience in their policy development. Peggy brings her all, including what she has experienced first-hand, to ensuring that public policies and their implementation in the real world uplift those who are too often left behind. She is a true changemaker. Hear her!

It's still popular to prize students who have “grit,” who overcome tough odds to succeed. A book by Alissa Quart called “Bootstrapped: Liberating Ourselves from the American Dream,” looks at why this narrative is so hard to shake — and proposes more community-minded alternatives that could improve equity. This episode first ran in 2022, as the final installment of our Bootstraps series on who gets the best opportunities in American education.

The Rhodes Scholarship was designed to forge a network of people who would go on to rule the world. So who gets this opportunity? And how is the oldest and best-known graduate scholarship dealing with the legacy of its founder, who used ruthless and racist practices to build the diamond empire that funded the effort? This originally ran in 2022, as part of our Bootstraps series on who gets what educational opportunities in America.

The SAT can feel very different to different students. While it can give any college applicant stress, some low-income and minority students see it as evidence that selective colleges don't want them. Can the rise of test-optional policies lead to a new, more equitable era of college admissions? | Guest reporter: Eric Hoover, of The Chronicle of Higher Education | This originally ran in late 2021 as part of our Bootstraps podcast series.

Our current grading system can be a way for kids to prove themselves and win college scholarships, or admission to selective colleges. It can also be a barrier, in sometimes surprising ways. What might a world without letter grades and GPAs look like? This first ran in 2021.

Sometime early in elementary school, kids are put on one of two paths: regular or gifted. Where did this idea come from? The answer goes back more than a 100 years, to a once-famous scholar named Lewis Terman. And it turns out his legacy, and the future of gifted programs, are still very much under debate. This first ran in 2021.

What a debate about the admissions process at one of the best public high schools in the country says about who should get what in education. This first ran in 2021. Find out more on this episode and the rest of the series at: https://www.edsurge.com/research/guides/bootstraps-a-podcast-series

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.

Join Sean and tech whiz, Melissa Kwan, as they unravel the allure and struggles of bootstrapping startups. Melissa dives into founding eWebinar and transforming pains into gains, all while crafting a business that perfectly suits her digital nomad lifestyle. She drops valuable gems on pricing pitfalls and the underrated power of slow growth. Don't miss these candid confessions!Here are a few of the topics we'll discuss on this episode of Product Launch Podcast:Bootstrapping is a lifestyle, not just finance.Price on value, not just to compete.Growth is slow and steady, not instant.Solving personal problems can fuel success.Grandfathered pricing can be a trap.Resources:eWebinarNxtStepPodcast ChefConnect with Melissa Kwan:LinkedInConnect with our host, Sean Boyce:LinkedInEmailQuotables:13:33 - Sean: So I'd love to hear you talk a little bit about why that strategy makes the most sense for you and how it compares to basically whatever type of situation you may have found yourself in if you were fundraising instead.Melissa: Yeah so my first company was Bootstraps because I didn't know that raising money existed so this was 13 years ago like all the tech stars and Y Combinators came after that like shortly after that. But like you know I'm from Vancouver so it wasn't a big tech community right back then it was just meetups and then I guess along the way I learned that you know people raise money and build companies on other people's money which actually seemed pretty cool at the time but I didn't really understand that concept.5:44 - I think when you build a company it becomes so much of your life and you're spending so much time on it that you have to start with what makes you happy first. And that's what I didn't do in my previous two startups I was like this is an idea it makes money, let's do this. But for 10 years I was always discontented and frustrated because I didn't start from a place of love I guess, like and love for myself.05:48 - So coming to eWebinar I didn't choose eWebinar as a business. I really sat down and I wrote 10 non-negotiables that I had to have in my next business so things that made me happy. For example, I have to have a completely remote team of contractors because I know I'm not really great at managing people hiring and firing and having those tough conversations I wanted a product that could be sold 100% through the internet I was so sick of going to conferences and sitting at booths and doing face-to-face meetings.03:10 - So I ended up living the problem of doing you know repetitive trainings and onboardings and always wondered why there wasn't an incredible product that solved that problem. And I think being able to build a company that solves a problem that I know so well and one that I feel really connected to because you know freedom has always been my number one priority and that was a problem that was restricting me from living my life cause I was also also digital nomadding.08:30 - And if you think about those things like Alibaba, for example, was like the eBay of China right. They didn't need to show the world eBay was successful eBay was already successful, like Word for example was not the first Word software so it's kind of along the same line. So I think first is like make sure it's something that makes you happy that you want to work on and especially if you're a bootstrap company don't go and try and start a blue ocean opportunity unless you know exactly what you're up against. Find something that you know you can improve and make that your business and you can probably cut down on at least two or three years of trying to get something new out there on the market.

Attachment 'insecurity" is partly a manifestation of unresolved stress patterns in the child and, by extension, the family. Therapists usually think of stress as interpersonal and dyadic, but you can't isolate individuals from context. We talk about context a lot when it comes to attachment - the circumstances or setting which helps to understand a process more deeply. As Sharon Lambert says in today's episode, you can't "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" if you have no boots. Sue Marriott and Sharon Lambert discuss the unconscious bootstraps communities have that cause blame towards those who are struggling. www.therapistuncensored.com/episodes to join our premium Neuronerd community www.therapistuncensored.com/join

Losing both parents at 12, Don Long quickly figured out how to navigate the world in what he calls, “bootstraps theology,” figuring life out on his own and taking no punches. But Don's theology only got him into trouble, even a knife fight. A loving step mother and caring mentors guided Don to the only source to really pull him out of his bootstraps–Jesus Christ. Don never thought he would make it past 18. But a kind mentor brought him to church. Don said of his early church days, "I literally would slip and sit in the back row. And then before the 'men' was done with 'amen,' I was out of there." God answered Don's desperate prayer to be able to read and understand the Bible, and from that moment, his life was changed. Don is now a pastor at Valley Church in West Des Moines, Iowa, where he heads up Valley Global missions.Helpful links:Don's Church, Valley Church, West Des Moines, IAJohn 10:10"God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble," Bible verseGreen Lake Conference Center, Green Lake, WI"My sheep hear my voice," Bible verse"For such a time as this," book of Esther, meaning"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise," Bible verse Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

It's easy for the strongest people to show up for others, but sometimes the strong ones are unnecessarily silent. How can you catch a breath while drowning in plain sight? I sat down with Brenda Warren, The Soulutionist and creator of TAPIN MethodTM, about picking yourself back up after hitting rock bottom. As a United States Marine Corps veteran, she's seen her share of hits and misses. After several adversities collided at once, a call to a crisis center talked her off the ledge and reaffirmed her desire to help others in similar pain. Here's how Brenda's strategic plan will help you overcome any barriers and live unapologetically unstoppable.You can learn more about Brenda at www.brendathesoulutionist.com and Instagram @Brendathesoulutionist

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed a new set of laws that would bolster the power of law enforcement and make other changes. The NAACP's Abre' Conner talks about the organization's challenge to the new laws. And, can you pull yourself up by your own bootstraps? It's a myth that defines the American dream. It's also the subject of Alissa Quart's book "Bootstrapped: Liberating Ourselves from the American Dream." Then, the captain of a shrimp boat from Texas won the international Goldman Environmental Prize. Diane Wilson won a $50 million court case against a company dumping harmful plastics into the water. She joins us to talk about the award and her work.

In hour 2, Chris talks about the mounting attacks on Nikki Haley; from Don Lemon and Whoopi Goldberg calling her old, or Wajahat Ali calling her a white supremacist Manchurian Candidate, and Nikki is keeping her cool. Also, why can't democrats understand the Bootstraps metaphor? Also the mayor of East Palestine Ohio is mad at Biden, and Mayor Pete is unbothered.
