扎克伯格提議:給全民無條件發錢

Mark Zuckerberg has the attention of 2 billion people, so he doesn't really need any help from us when he wants to spread the word about something. But it's worth pointing out that the billionaire Facebook chief is really into the idea of the government giving everyone free money—or at least giving them money back.

馬克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）早就受到了二十億人的關注，當然不需要別人幫他宣傳任何想法。但是值得一提的是，這位坐擁十億家產的臉書領袖卻提倡政府要無條件給民衆發錢，或者至少要給民衆還錢。

In a Facebook post from Homer, Alaska, yesterday, Zuck pointed out that the Last Frontier has its own form of universal basic income, one that allocates oil revenue for a fund that is divided up and returned to residents. It's called the Permanent Fund Dividend, and Zuckerberg thinks it's a concept worth paying attention to.

昨天，扎克伯格在阿拉斯加州荷馬發佈了一條臉書動態，說阿拉斯加州就有自己的基礎收入，主要是將石油利潤作爲基金分配、返還給民衆。扎克伯格大力倡導這樣的“永久基金分紅（Permanent Fund Dividend）”方式。

It's not the first time Zuckerberg has touted the idea of a basic income for all. In his Harvard commencement speech in May, he said we as a society should be exploring different economic models as a way of making sure that "everyone has a cushion." Because not everyone has that, er, FB money.

扎克伯克推崇把基礎收入返還給民衆的行爲已經不是新鮮事了。五月，在哈佛大學畢業演講時，他就曾提到過，一個社會應該挖掘不同的經濟模型，確保“人人有積蓄”。當然，因爲不是每個人都和臉書CEO一樣有錢。
