Not everybody shares Calif. assemblyman’s dream of UBI-driven utopian future

Democrat California Assemblyman Alex Lee represents Alameda and Santa Clara counties in that state, but he’s got a vision that would affect everybody:
Alex Lee 李天明 (@alex_lee) ~ Imagine this: withdrawing your UBI check that was seamlessly deposited in your public banking account after picking up your kids from awesome public school and then taking green transit back home to your social housing flat. A future we can make happen.
So, Alex ... where are the UBI ("Universal Basic Income") dollars gonna come from, eh? They certainly will NOT be produced by ne'er-do-wells such as yourself.
Per Wikipedia entry for California State Assemblyman Alex Lee ~
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Lee_(politician)
* Age: 27 years old.
* Graduated from University of California Davis in 2017 with a BA in Political Science and Communications.
* While attending college, Lee was an intern for several politicians including Mike Honda, Ed Chau, Evan Low, Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, and Kansen Chu. He began working for Henry Stern as a full-time legislative aide after graduating college. Prior to running for office, Lee delivered food, and lived with his mother due to the high cost of living in his district.
* Lee was sworn into the State Assembly on December 7, 2020. Taking office at age 25, he was the Assembly's youngest member, the first born in the 1990s, and the first openly bisexual member.
And, of course, Lee is a Democrat.
So, all this lil' woketard has ever done is deliver food, be a legislative aid, and be a California State Assemblyman ... and hopefully NOT living with his mom the ENTIRE duration of his "extensive" career in food delivery/politics.
We’ve heard dreams like this before, and they sound more like a nightmare:
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ {Replying to @alex_lee} You commies in CA cannot even build a high speed train. Billions of dollars and 30 years on. We have better transit in South Florida and you don’t even have to worry about being assaulted by a crazy person who is high out of his mind on drugs enabled by the government.
So that’s one “no” vote on socialist utopia!
Crypto Dad (@BBarretttrading) ~ {Replying to @ChristinaPushaw and @alex_lee} The roads in CA are worse than when I lived in Puerto Rico.
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ {Replying to @BBarretttrading and @alex_lee} Yeah what has happened to CA is just sad.
Tim Burke (@myblueheaven65) ~ {Replying to @ChristinaPushaw and @alex_lee} I'm still trying to understand where the money comes from for UBI. I don't get it. I don't understand.
Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) ~ {Replying to @myblueheaven65 and @alex_lee} Money printer go brr 💸💸💸💸
Yeah, federal government money printer go BRRRRRRRRRT jest like an A-10 Warthog to bail out the drunken sailors on shore leave in California.
All while inflation skyrockets even worse.

The Grammatical Fiction (@Koestghost) ~ If you want a picture of the future, imagine a smiley-faced degenerate keeping you like a zoo animal for the rest of your life.
Also, if everybody’s going to get paid to do nothing, who’s going to work at those schools, run and maintain the “green energy” transit, and build the “social housing flats”? So many questions!
Tom Kattman (@TomKattman) ~ Everyone “getting paid to do nothing” except the teachers at the “awesome public school” & the workers running the “green transit” (unless Alex is gonna run schools, transit, & everything else by automation so all anyone has to do is collect UBI).
There are still a few flaws in the plan but the assemblyman will iron out the wrinkles. Or probably not.
Assemblyman Lee is probably too busy trying to figure out how to stay in his mother's basement for the rest of his life, don'tcha think?
Connor Boyack (@cboyack) ~ “awesome public school” 🤣
That might be the most unrealistic thing in your dystopian dream.
Right!?
Ron Bassilian (@Ron4California) ~ {Replying to @alex_lee} How about a pony? Do we get a pony?

Unfortunately any pets in this brand of utopia are at risk of being eaten at some point when the starvation portion of this glorious future kicks in.
some rando (@confirmedterfs) ~ {Replying to @alex_lee} Would there be a really cool bread line to stand in between school and home??
But it will be an awesome bread line.
Critical GDX Theory (@DrunkenAnarchi1) ~ {Replying to @alex_lee} To paraphrase Carlin 'It's a dream, because you gotta be asleep to believe it.'
Ryan Petty (@rpetty) ~ Occasionally the left tells us what they actually want to do to America. To you.
They are relentlessly chipping away at America until she is unrecognizable.
Back to “you will have nothing and like it” we go.
Edward Coyle (@SirEdwardCoyle) ~ I thought this was a socialist parody account? It's not. Waking up yet folks?
Nope, that’s from an actual elected official in California. Yikes!
A brain-dead California Assemblyman.
