Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg gave the commencement address at Harvard for the Class of 2017, where he suggested a Universal Basic Income, meaning free money for everyone, so they could be creative and pursue their dreams
Since Mark Zuckerberg is worth billions of dollars, he can easily fund UBI that gives benefits to thousands of people.

Given the fact that in the future millions of people will be rendered unemployed due to automation and technology it may not be such a fanciful proposition. People with no jobs and no future tend to get very angry.
Somehow we replace most farming and most factory jobs in this nation and still have unemployment at below 5%.
Sad that people are so non-chalant about giving away other people's money.
Yeah, sure, everyone is guaranteed money without having to do anything...where do they get the money? Oh, well from the productive people of course...unfair? I'll tell you what's unfair...having to earn stuff!

Then we need to stop importing millions of unskilled, uneducated illegals, refugees, and H1-B visas. And stop sending our jobs to India or China.
Also, we should be spending money training people for jobs on the future instead of giving out welfare freebies.

It's also a continuation of the central banking system that has single-handedly enslaved the entire world.
What's wrong with using tax payer money to loan to banks with practically zero interest so they can turn around and loan it to taxpayers at a much higher rate?
I'd love to be able to raid your bank account and then loan it back to you with interest.

It's not a bad idea. As AI takes more and more jobs we may be left with lots of people that have nothing to do. Not good. Today, it would help the people in the former manufacturing and coal areas. Those without skills and education are just going to continue to fall further and further behind. The Republicans will make the divide worse as they divert billions that help the common American to the bank accounts of the top 5%. I'm jumbling this all together but the bottom line is that this might solve many of our problems. Cheers.
