Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called on the need to consider universal basic income for Americans during his Harvard Commencement Speech.
Zuckerberg's comments reflect those of other Silicon Valley bigwigs, including Sam Altman, the president of venture capital firm Y Combinator.
"Every generation expands its definition of equality. Now it's time for our generation to define a new social contract," Zuckerberg said during his speech. "We should have a society that measures progress not by economic metrics like GDP but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful. We should explore ideas like universal basic income to make sure everyone has a cushion to try new ideas."

This self-proclaimed “Leader of Facebook” is getting on my nerves.
Equally distribute your money Zuck...(not mine, thank you)
Hey Zuckerberg, send me $10 billion dollars cash.
Thanks, SaveFerris.
Oh, I’m reasonable. A paltry $750 million dollars will do.
Thanks again.
This guy has to be smoking some really good weed.
This little twerp is someone you’d love to accidently run into in a dark alley one night.
He’s just selling Marxism by the glass.
“This little twerp is someone you’d love to accidently run into in a dark alley one night.”
And he’d squeal like a little pig if you gave him a Purple Nurple, LOL!
I have a great suggestion for fuckerberg; why doesn’t he and his Silicon Valley bigwigs start the ball rolling by giving all of their money away?
Whip out your checkbook, Mark. Don’t be stingy. Don’t ask the taxpayers to do what you’re unwilling to do.
How is it that people like Mark Zuckerberg, Stephen Hawking etc. can be hailed as such geniuses and yet be so DUMB?
Bingo!
I would be game if they gave me gold and I could live outside the country and spend it. LOL!
No fiat funny money.
Leftists do not see the hypocrisy?
Or are they just cutting the small people first before beheading the Silicon Valley idiots?
This is not something Zucker should be clamoring so lightly.
The inalienable right to an income cushion?
What. An. Idiot.
Will this free money be greater than my retirement?
What great a way to drive us into hyperinflation making the lower classes basically slaves to the upper class who would then become a hereditary aristocracy.
It the oldest system of government.
Did Zuckerberg specify exactly who it is that’s been preventing him from giving away any of his millions?
From behind his high security wall, staffed by armed guards, with a huge fortune.
Disgusting.
“We should have a society that measures progress not by economic metrics but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful.”
What is absolutely terrifying is that millions of millennials agree with this hokum m100%.
