Free Money? What a UBI Would Really Do to People … and the National Debt

From StosselTV
“Universal Basic Income” is trendy, but studies show that it makes people work less, and save less.
Conrad Shaw, Vice President of the “Income to Support All Foundation,” believes Universal Basic Income will help people start new businesses and invest in home improvements.
But a study backed by Sam Altman (creator of ChatGPT) tested that theory out. They handed 1,000 people, $1,000 for 3 years. Some of the recipients did make good financial decisions. But overall, the group ended up a little deeper in debt and had a lower net worth!
I’m not surprised. If you give people free money, they’ll work less. Incentives matter. But even after this study, UBI proponents still believe a UBI is a good idea. Is it?
Our new video takes a look.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

Publicity Kills DEI: A Free Speech Solution to Woke Companies

For years, major corporations bragged about their wonderful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. They’re good for business and morally correct, they said. So why are they now cutting those programs?
Robby Starbuck says these programs once got a lot of buy-in, because people wanted to be nice! But DEI came to mean much more than just being nice.
Starbuck says what it looked like in practice was “crazy trainings” and “overtly racist hiring practices.” Now lots of people agree with him.
Companies actually take notice when Starbuck tells his many followers about their DEI programs. Often the programs get dropped.
That’s the power of free speech.
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

What Socialist Influencers Get Wrong (Just About Everything)

From StosselTV
Socialism is popular!
Youtube and TikTok stars say socialism “maximizes freedom… increases life-expectancy,” and “improves home-ownership.” It’s so absurd!
I asked my producer, Kristin Tokarev, to investigate their claims. Her video debunks their propaganda.
Influencers now rack up millions of views claiming socialism works better than capitalism. Here’s some of what they get terribly wrong!
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
