re: Bloomberg apparently thinks farmers and blue collar workers are dumb too

The arrogant bullshite about him "uniting the country" shows you the bubble.

I guess the country cannot be "united" under anything but left wing bullshite.

I am wondering how taking guns, destroying the energy business, raising taxes, and ruining health care is going to unite me and everybody I know with anybody.

Personally, I would rather have food than financial advice.

He perfectly described a socialist program which favors technology at the expense of agriculture.

On August 7, 1932, the Decree about the Protection of Socialist Property proclaimed that the punishment for theft of kolkhoz or cooperative property was the death sentence, which "under extenuating circumstances" could be replaced by at least ten years of incarceration. With what some called the Law of Spikelets ("????? ? ????????"), peasants (including children) who hand-collected or gleaned grain in the collective fields after the harvest were arrested for damaging the state grain production. Martin Amis writes in Koba the Dread that 125,000 sentences were passed for this particular offense in the bad harvest period from August 1932 to December 1933.

During the Famine of 1932–33 it's estimated that 7.8–11 million people died from starvation.[53] The implication is that the total death toll (both direct and indirect) for Stalin's collectivization program was on the order of 12 million people.[52] It is said that in 1945, Joseph Stalin confided to Winston Churchill at Yalta that 10 million people died in the course of collectivization.[54]

Farming isn't rocket science, man.

Can he teach a farmer how to code ?

1. Clear from context that he was talking about farming before the Industrial Revolution, so not entirely inaccurate. (He says, “ and then we had 300 years of industrial ...”)

Why didn’t you finish this quote? Could it be that he is saying that anyone who can chuck up a piece of metal and turn a handle the direction of the arrow is now a machinist?

Because that is exactly what he just said. I work with machinists daily. I promise you a machinist has more skill (and higher pay) than someone in IT.

Just to clear it up - he is absolutely shitting on farmers in this video. He never had a chance but he is stepping on his dick daily (especially since his legs are 2.5 feet long).

could teach anyone how to farm. Dig a hole, plant a seed, cover it with dirt, throw some water on it, and corn comes up”

Lol what an idiot. Farming requires a ton of business sense and biology

If you think that is true you would be the countries shittiest farmer.

I don't think you understand. He is technically right. Running a commercial farm is a different story.

Can we all just start calling him by the proper terminology........Midget.

I just want to see one credentialed reporter ask him with a straight face what his thoughts are about whether crimes committed against the vertically challenged are hate crimes, and should little people like yourself be a protected class?
