I've posted in the past my support for universal basic income. In specific I favor a citizens income which goes to all US citizens regardless of race, class, or need, as a way to unite the country around economic ties.
Recently Mark Zuckerberg has come out in favor of universal basic income in his post: where he praised the Alaska Permanent Fund. The Alaska Permanent Fund is a citizens dividend for all citizens of Alaska.
With support from Zuckerberg perhaps momentum can build for a basic income. On the other hand there are rumors that Zuckerberg wants to run for President and these new stances might be to lay the ground work for a future political campaign.
