Manguward toine talk about universal basic income. Katherine thanks for having me. Host what is the universal basic income . Katherine you asked me a question too hard to answer. Thank you. There are lots of proposals that fall under this broader conversation. Some of them i do not call universal. It is an old idea, been around a long time. Maybe we can start with thomas payne. He said instead of making a welfare system that have a lot of boundary lines, testing, what if we essentially thought of a Welfare Program that gave a basic grant to people for existing . How it is structured is controversial. Foul play something alaska has been doing for years with oil. Katherine alaska would be the closest thing to seeing this. It is different than some of the most classic versions of this because it is technically a result of a specific resource, because alaska as a state has a tremendous amount of oil and they smell number of and a small number of humans and no income tax. It looks like univ
In this exact building, we had the secession of louisiana from the union. One of our past governors, huey long, was attempted to be impeached here. Union troops occupied it during the civil war. And it was actually the interior was really destroyed from an inadvertent fire the union troops were cooking inside and it caught the building on fire and really destroyed the entire interior.

And thats why we give it the famous name or just the umbrella. Its a sunny day or cloudy day, you can see the change in the gl
On the date of huey longs assassination, he was the u. S. Senator. But he was in baton rouge visiting the louisiana legislature, in particular, the house of representatives. And visiting with the speaker of the house at that time, alan ellington. They were here. And in fact, as you like to when you accompany me, well walk to the speakers desk where huey and eleanor had just finished a discussion or were discussing everything. You get an idea that from there, you can see the entire chamber. You have to remember, huey long, while being a handson governor, he was also a handson senator and never really felt like he was no longer governor. O. K. Allen was the governor at the time but huey long still wielded great influence in the legislature. Even more so, some say, because now he was a u. S. Sitting senator. So as we walk, this is where they would have been, and the last known photograph taken of huey long was prior to his assassination was huey long standing right about here where this c
