The Scott Santens UBI Enterprise

Episode 4 of The Basic Income Show! Let's talk about the basic income that Dolly Parton mobilized in response to a disaster in Tennessee.

We also debunk all the misinformation in an anti-UBI PragerU video.

Episode 2 of The Basic Income Show

In this conversation, Scott Santens, Conrad Shaw, and Josh Worth discuss the implications of basic income through recent pilot programs like Sam Altman's three-year experiment and Denver's Basic Income Pilot Project, analyzing the results and addressing common misconceptions. They highlight the importance of understanding the nuanced effects of basic income on employment, caregiving, and overall well-being. Personal stories from recipients illustrate the transformative potential of basic income, while critiques of misleading narratives exemplified by a recent Coin Bureau video emphasize the need for a more informed public discourse. The conversation concludes with a call to action for future initiatives and community involvement in basic income projects.

Here are the two videos we watched:

The inaugural episode of The Basic Income Show!

As a leading expert on the topic of unconditional/universal basic income (UBI), a subject area I've been focused on now since 2013, I'm constantly trying to correct misunderstandings and debunk misinformation/disinformation spread about the concept and the evidence behind it.

This discussion took place in a Twitter (X) Space on April 3, 2024. I was joined by land value tax expert Stephen Hoskins, along with my co-hosts Conrad Shaw and Josh Worth, to discuss land value taxes and why they make so much sense to paired with universal basic income.

Much discussion has been had around basic income as a policy response to automation and as a result, over 150 pilot experiments have been launched in cities across the US to study it. Now in response to the successful results beginning to come out from those pilots, some states are beginning to ban the experiments from happening. One lobbying group in particular is behind these efforts to stop UBI, and its biggest funder is a billionaire most people have never even heard of.

This discussion took place in a Twitter (X) Space on September 6, 2023. I was joined by the co-founders of Comingle - Conrad Shaw and Josh Worth - to discuss the project and universal basic income in general.

Comingle is an app being developed to create a small basic income floor for all members. All members will pledge an equal percentage of their income and in return all receive an equal basic income floor of around $50 a week.
