Stockton, California made national news last October when it announced it would host the first US experiment in basic income, a system of wealth distribution in which people receive a standard salary just for being alive.
The plan, spearheaded by Stockton’s 27-year-old mayor, Michael Tubbs, will likely begin sometime in August 2018 and involve at least 100 people of varying income levels getting $ 500 a month for three years.
Ever since it declared bankruptcy in 2012, Stockton has been in recovery-mode, and Tubbs sees basic income — a growing topic of discussion around the world over the past couple years — as one way to rehabilitate the city.
In a basic income system, participants get a fixed amount of money that they can use however they want. Early research has shown that people in basic income experiments typically don’t spend this money on vices or vacations; instead, they use it to pay for things like home repairs, school expenses, and the costs of starting new businesses.
Tubbs, a Stanford alum who first discovered basic income reading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in college, believes rising costs for housing and education, combined with stagnant wages, have warranted a new approach to social welfare. He was elected in November 2016, with economic development as one of his major goals.
Unlike many players in the basic income discussion, he doesn’t believe the idea is radical as much as plainly progressive.
“I can see the radicalness, but I’m trying to solve the questions that every community has,” Tubbs told Business Insider.
Justin Sullivan/GettyTubbs believes that Stockton is really a microcosm of the rest of the US. Low-income people haven’t gotten a fair shake economically, and upward mobility has been difficult at best, he said. Mean incomes are well below California’s average, and unemployment is double the national rate. Healthcare and retail are the city’s two biggest industries.
“In our economic structure, the people who work the hardest oftentimes make the least,” Tubbs said. “I know migrant farm workers who do back-breaking labor every day, or Uber drivers and Lyft drivers who drive 10 to 12 hours a day in traffic. You can’t be lazy doing that kind of work.”
The upcoming basic income experiment could give people more opportunity to find fulfillment, Tubbs said.
Stockton has partnered with the Economic Security Project (ESP), a basic income advocacy group headed up by Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes and others, to launch the trial, which is being called the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED). ESP has given the city $ 1 million to fund the trial.
The specific design of the experiment is still unclear. Tubb hopes it will be simultaneously broad and targeted, so it will reach people in need — but not exclusively. He said he still wants middle and upper-middle class residents to get the benefit.
No matter who gets selected, Tubbs said he trusts that participants’ lives will improve.

Having grown up in poverty, moved through the system, and now achieved professional success, Tubbs said the perspective has given him a nuanced view of how people with low incomes think and behave.
He said he hopes a basic income experiment can help overturn negative assumptions about the ambitions and capabilities of people in poverty.
“For whatever reason, in this country we have a very interesting relationship with poverty, where we think people in poverty are bad people,” he said. “In the next couple years, we’ll see a larger national conversation.”
Tubbs wants to approach his city;s economic troubles from several directions — basic income is just one solution. Recently, his office donated $ 20 million to a program called Stockton Scholars. The program awards a total of $ 4,000 in aid to four-year college students and $ 1,000 to 2-year students.
The program will make higher education tuition-free for “the vast majority” of Stockton students who attend college in the California State University system, according to the mayor’s office. Over the next five years, Tubbs is pushing the city to help raise a total of $ 100 million for Stockton Scholars.
“We want to triple the number of Stockton students who are ready, willing, and able to go to college,” he said. “It’s really about changing the narrative of this city. This, in tandem with basic income, really shows Stockton is on the cutting-edge of public policy with a real focus on human capital.”

Whitney Wolfe
When Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe first launched her dating app in 2014, she had a tiny team and a lot of doubters.
“There was just a few of us,” 27-year-old Wolfe tells Business Insider. “Early on, when you’re starting a company, for every 10 people who tell you you’re crazy, you’ve got this one person that’s raising their hand, jumping up and down, saying, ‘I believe in this — can I be involved?’ That was our early team.”
Wolfe, who cofounded the dating app Tinder but departed the company after filing a sexual harassment lawsuit that was later settled, says that her early team helped mold the current brand’s DNA.
Forbes reported that, as of February, Bumble has garnered 12.5 million registered users, who spend an average of 100 minutes a day on the app.
The experience of working with a small group of passionate people made Wolfe realize how important gratitude is in a leader. Bumble’s employees now number around 60, and she says it’s important to value interns as highly as C-level executives.
“Everybody who touches your company or brand — you should be so grateful that they are dedicating their time, their knowledge, and their skills to something you created,” Wolfe says.
However, she says she sees leaders get that wrong. “Sometimes it’s just a little bit backwards,” she says. “People feel that people should feel lucky to work for them.”
Instead, Wolfe recommends that leaders measure success based on the positive impact they have on those they work with. In her view, leaders are only as successful, happy, and efficient as the least successful, happy, and efficient people on their teams.
“When our team says they’re happy or they feel inspired or empowered, that’s when I wake up in the morning feeling successful,” she says.

M1
Do-it-yourself investing can be scary for a lot of people, especially young wanna-be investors.
The financial markets are complicated and so most people prefer to give their money to someone else to manage.
When Brian Barnes graduated from Stanford in 2012, he had a hard time finding a tool with which he could invest in the stock market on his own. This prompted him to start his own online brokerage site, M1 Finance, at 25 years old.
“What I was trying to do seemed relatively basic,” Barnes penned in a recent post on M1’s site. “I wanted to be able to pick my investments, and have recurring deposits automatically added to those allocations.”
And that’s exactly what M1, which currently has $ 60 million under management, allows users to do. M1 users can pick the stocks they want to invest in and then they can determine what percentage of their portfolio they want each position to make up. M1 automatically updates as you put in more money and as stock prices fluctuate to maintain your preferred portfolio allocation. So if you want Apple to make up 25% of your portfolio, M1 will balance your portfolio as such.
Unlike most brokerage sites, M1 doesn’t not charge a fee for users to buy a stock. It does, however, charge users an annual percentage-based fee on their assets.
We recently asked Barnes for three investment tips recent grads can consider when investing. They are as follows:
1) Embrace individual stocks – It’s important that young investors learn to think broadly about what drives a company’s value, expanding their understanding and revisiting to improve decision-making. The personal finance fad of the moment is that you should not invest at all in individual stocks and instead buy index ETFs. While this guarantees market performance, it doesn’t teach you anything about what makes for a good investment. Just remember to stay diversified.
2) Pick a couple investments that will get you excited – The most important determinant of your long-term financial success is not whether you outperform or underperform the benchmark, but how much money you actually put away to save and invest. If you get excited about investing, you might increase a monthly contribution from $ 100 to $ 110. If you’re not excited, maintaining behavior becomes more challenging.
3) Stay consistent – Days and weeks may seem long, but months and years get short the farther away from graduation you get. If you put away a few hundred dollars a month, you’ll find in no time that you have real money. You just have to cultivate good habits and stay consistent.

Joyce Tadeo, 27, has been dubbed the hottest Uber driver in the world.
The brunette beauty was working as a medical rep in a pharmaceutical company before joining the San Francisco-based company.
Becoming tired of the rat race in Manila, Joyce thought she’d try her luck as a taxi driver.
The psychology graduate changed her career a little over eight months ago while studying dress making part-time.
Passengers were impressed by Joyce in the male-dominated industry and began sharing pictures of her driving which went viral.
The former pharmaceutical rep works around the Bonifacio Global City district of Manila but often moves into neighbouring areas.
She has now been dubbed the world’s hottest Uber driver and punters are desperate to hitch a ride with bright student when they request a driver on the app – but the nature of the app means the nearest driver is often allocated, meaning its luck of the draw for Joyce fans.
The youngster works 12 hours a day- and speaking about her job she revealed passengers usually expect a man in the driver’s seat.
She said: “Passengers normally have a man who picks them up. When I arrive they are quite shocked.
“I love the attention and the feeling of being liked. I’m happy to have pictures with passengers and I’m genuinely flattered by the compliments.
“There are a lot of guys who want my number but I just smile and laugh it off. I haven’t tried dating any because there are strict rules about drivers and passengers.”
Joyce said her male friend recommended the job to her and she gave it a try after being impressed by his earnings.Light conversation is a “great way to pass time” during her rides in bustling Manila where traffic is often busy, she revealed.
She added: “Yes, passengers do hope that I’m the one who picks them up. But I choose whoever is nearest and on my route.
“There have been a few awkward moments. I collected a couple of from a motel and I couldn’t help wondering what they had been doing, I think they were up to no good.
“I have a lot of fun.”
Though Dedmon grew up playing outside, playing basketball at parks, he did not play competitively on any actual teams because of his faith.
Dedmon’s mother, Gail, was a member of Jehovah’s Witness and raised Dewayne and his two sisters under the same faith.
As Sports Illustrated’s Chris Ballard wrote in 2011, under the religion, “allegiance to anyone or anything but Jehovah is forbidden.” According to Ballard, while playing on a sports team was not “expressly forbidden,” to play on a team might encourage allegiance to an external factor. Additionally, the Dedmons dedicated multiple hours per week to studies, meetings, and solicitations on Sundays.
Gail, according to Ballard, ultimately decided not to let Dewayne play on anymore sports teams after he got into a spat with a volleyball coach in eighth grade.
However, when Dewayne turned 18, becoming an adult, he knew he could make his own decisions. He told his mother he was going to play on the basketball team.
“At first, she definitely wasn’t a fan,” Dedmon told Business Insider. “But like I said, I was 18, so I was an adult, so I could make my own decisions.
“It definitely took some time for her to come around to the fact that I was playing basketball.”
Nine years later, Dedmon is helping anchor the San Antonio Spurs’ NBA-best defense in the first year after the Tim Duncan Era.
To get to where he is now, Dedmon faced a steep uphill climb into the basketball world that involved learning the game at 18, going to junior college, transferring schools, then surviving cuts and the D-League to make it in the NBA.

After breaking the news to his mother, Dedmon made his high school team his senior year. It’s fair to wonder if Dedmon’s height was the deciding factor, however, as he didn’t have much to offer on the team. “I wouldn’t say [I] played,” Dedmon said. “I was on the team, I guess.”
After graduating high school, Dedmon went to junior college at Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, California. Dedmon walked onto the basketball team, as the head coach, Dieter Horton, was intrigued by his size and raw physical talent, despite Dedmon having little actual experience. According to Ballard, upon meeting Dedmon, Horton asked him to do the Mikan Drill, a fundamental drill in which players alternate left- and right-handed layups from each side of the basket. Dedmon stared at him blankly before clumsily navigating through the exercise.
Still, Dedmon kept at it. He gray-shirted his freshman year (similar to red-shirting, except a player delays his enrollment in school in order to extend his eligibility), recording the team’s games from the bleachers. His sophomore year, he finally began playing, showing off his defensive prowess, blocking shots and running up and down the court with ease for dunks.
During a productive second year at Antelope Valley, Dedmon’s name began spreading into the Division I world. Dedmon was a still-growing, raw, athletic center — teams wanted him. He was recruited by and eventually transferred to USC in 2011.
Rick Bowmer/AP“It was pretty shocking” says Dedmon. “I wasn’t really expecting to go and play Division I after AVC, but when the offers started coming in, I started realizing I could actually do this, go Division I.”
Playing alongside current Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic at USC, Dedmon continued to learn the game and grow into his body. Dedmon served as a practice opponent for Vucevic, the two sharing defensive and offensive lessons for one another, respectively.
After two “nondescript” seasons at USC, as Jeff McDonald of San Antonio Express-News put it, Dedmon declared for the NBA Draft. It was NBA or bust for him — there was no backup plan.
“When I entered my name in the draft, I knew I wanted to play in the NBA, so that was the goal,” Dedmon said. “It wasn’t no overseas option. It was like, ‘Alright, if you don’t get drafted, these are the steps you gotta take to get to the NBA.'”
Despite, as he estimates, 15 or 16 workouts with NBA teams, Dedmon’s name didn’t get called on draft night. Toward the end of the event, he did receive a call from the Dallas Mavericks, asking him to play on their Summer League team in Las Vegas. He also played for the Miami Heat in the Orlando Summer League. He didn’t make either team. From there, he set off on a whirlwind 2013-14 season, hopping between the NBA and D-League, on different teams, in different cities, on short-lived contracts. Dedmon’s recollection of the experience sums up the hectic life of a fringe NBA prospect.
“I went preseason with Golden State,” Dedmon said. “I did the entire preseason with them. And then they cut me. And then I went to their D-League affiliate, played like two games, and then I got a call back to Golden State and then got cut. And then I believe I got called up one more time and got cut, and then played [the D-League Showcase]. And then after the showcase, I got the call from Philadelphia. They gave me my first 10-day contract and then they gave me another one, and then after that, they cut me.”
“It’s definitely a different experience. You kinda just gotta be strong mentally because it’s definitely tough. ‘Why did you not stay?’ and things like that go through your mind. But to know that they didn’t cut me after the first 10-day [contract], obviously I was doing something right,” Dedmon said.
Dedmon later got a 10-day contract with the Orlando Magic. The Magic eventually signed Dedmon for the the rest of the season and for two more years. Finally receiving steady minutes as a reserve center, Dedmon began to make strides, averaging a modest four points and four rebounds in 12 minutes per game in 58 games for the Magic during the 2015-16 season.
Still, Dedmon wasn’t long for Orlando. The Magic rescinded a qualifying offer for Dedmon in 2016, making him a free agent. Once on the free-agent market, Dedmon finally received some good fortune. According to McDonald, the Spurs were looking for depth at center following Tim Duncan’s retirement. James Borrego, who served an interim coach for the Magic at the end of the 2014-15 season and started Dedmon for 15 of his 17 games as head coach, had become an assistant with the Spurs. He voiced his support for Dedmon in the organization.
“That was a good phone call,” Dedmon said of the Spurs offering him a two-year, $ 6 million contract last July. “Growing up, you hear of the Spurs all the time, Tim Duncan, all kinds of good things about the organization. For them to call and be interested in me, that was definitely a blessing.”
Dedmon has turned into the diamond-in-the-rough type of player the Spurs so famously mine around the league. Dedmon has been posting career-highs in minutes per game (17), field-goal percentage (64.8%), points (5.3), and rebounds (6.4) in 63 games for the Spurs, 24 of which he’s started.
More importantly, according to NBA.com/Stats, Dedmon improves the Spurs when he’s on the floor. With Dedmon on the court, the Spurs allow just 96 points per 100 possessions, five points better than their average on the season. The Spurs have outscored opponents by 11 points per 100 possessions with Dedmon on the court, as opposed to seven points per 100 possessions when he’s on the bench.
Still raw and fairly new to the game compared to his contemporaries, Dedmon is learning the ropes from Gregg Popovich.
“Staying out of foul trouble, that’s probably one of his biggest pet peeves with me,” Dedmon said. “Trying to keep my hands up, stay active, but not fouling.”
“He’s one of the best to ever do it,” Dedmon added of Popovich. “So, it’s definitely a good experience to learn from him and to be coached by him and just trying to figure out what exactly you have to do to help the team. It’s all about the team. … Whether it comes with criticism, maybe he takes you out the game because you didn’t do something, you just learn from it and keep moving on.”
Dedmon’s play has put the Spurs in a tough position. Though Dedmon says he hasn’t thought about his next contract, the Spurs surely have. The second year of Dedmon’s contract is a player option. If Dedmon opts out and tests the free-agent market, bidders may be able to out-price what the Spurs can offer. If Dedmon continues to be a defensive presence on the court, he may very well end up changing cities again in pursuit of a more lucrative offer.
Dedmon, however, says he’s just preparing for the Spurs playoff run. Currently the second seed in the West, the Spurs may need impactful minutes from Dedmon, an unexpected source of a production for the NBA’s most consistent contender. It’s the latest leg in a winding journey from walking onto a junior college team.
