I'm not so sure they realize this won't work.

Remember when Obama and Jonathan Gruber of MIT tried to implement Obamacare. They were convinced it would work because they worked it out on paper and in theory.

It isn't that unusual for academics with zero real-world experience to think that, because they are so smart (they think), their theoretical ideas will work like a charm when constructed.

It's no different for politicians like Gavin Newsom, whose small brain is filled to the brim with wacky academic theories and ideas.

These are the "elites" who assume that most people are just rednecks and reality itself will bend to their wills.

I'm with you. They're hard core communists. The lunatics in the former soviet union felt that if the entire world were communist, the system would work.

Anybody with more than two functioning IQ points knew that was a lie. But that didn't stop the loony left (communists) from believing it anyway.

ACADEMIC (ak-uh-DEM-ik): An individual educated beyond his intelligence who is unwilling or unable to create or provide anything of value to others, who while hiding out in a think-tank, college or university pontificates and expects to be paid for it, usually from public funds.
