Standing there after having presumably eaten food, Michael Bloomberg would have you think that America's farmers are dumb.
(snip for tweet)
Farmers can now stand in line behind black people, (branded criminals), poor people, (ordered taxed to keep them from spending their money on booze and cigarettes), women (maybe if they'd go to a library instead of Bloomingdale's) and babies in the womb (kill it), to collect their Bloomberg insult. Does this guy have any respect for anyone? His money seems to have activated his inner jerkwad - which isn't going to cut it for winning the presidency.

All he's got to do is spout half-a-dozen current leftist memes...and he's good to go. Reparations instead of patriarchy, gang. Oh yeah.

Reminds me of “If they can dig coal they can learn to code”. Think I’ll just go “get me a shot gun - a double barreled shotgun”. Arrogance knoweth no bounds with these people....

What he described is me planting my zinnias for the summer. Farming encompasses so much more - plumbing, engine repair, veterinary care, knowledge of weather, how to run a combine with GPS and so much more. Drop Mr. Bloomberg at a farm and he would be lost as could be, whereas a farmer could navigate New York with ease.

Stupidissimo rich guy thinks that farmers are dumb. Imagine that. It is the tech folks who taught us GIGO (garbage in, garbage out). If Mike McDuck makes it to November 6th, the garbage WILL be taken out.

He obviously knows nothing about present day farming. He holds the common urban misconception that farmers are idiots and simple minded. I would bet everything I have that he could not set the auto steer for a tractor or plan a successful marketing plan for his crop, let alone teach someone.

Well, at least he knows that food comes from farms. AOC had no idea that lettuce is grown in dirt.

My brother sent this:
“Uncle Jack told me about the terrible poverty the depression visited on him. He was showing me his old old tractor which he kept parked in a grove of trees. He told me how he had to reline the bearings but could not buy the Babbitt (a lead alloy) so he took some chickens to the junk yard where he traded them for some old junk so that he could remelt it and then recast it in the form of tractor motor bearings.”
Okay, L’il Bloomie; if this “dumb farmer” could do that, let’s see what you can do!

They're telling us that Mini Mikes comments were in the past and are not relevant today, unlike a locker room comment by PDT many years ago. The hypocrisy of the left and the media is what's going to get President Trump another term.

Bloomie must be over the target, taking all this flak...
He is the Democrat gift to PDT this election cycle. With all his money the worst he can do is clear the Dem field - gone with Bernie, Pete, Lizzy, Amy and the rest...and put the Dem party into pieces...The Squad, socialists, black nationalists, etc.

There are no farmers in Shorty's bubble-world, only elitist, puffed up nitwits.

Outside of NYC, Buffalo, Albany etc. New York State is, for all intents and purposes, a farming state. Just more proof that the rich elites never leave the urban bubble.

You have to give the little guy credit for being truthful about his prejudices and dislikes but it's not going to win him any more elections. A good politician is a good liar, a message that he must have forgotten. I could not imagine the kind of people in NYC who voted him in as mayor but I find it hard to believe that anybody wants to live under a control freak who thinks he is better than everybody else. Farmers are some of the best people on the face of the Earth and if Mikey ever put in a day of work like most of them do, he would probably collapse.

Note to all of the high and mighty Bloomberg types: Farmers can live without East / West Coast Elitists, but the East / West Coast Elitists could not live with out the farmers (or miners, or factory workers, or laborers, or just about any of the other jobs that the "elite" consider beneath them).

I'm going to disagree with posters here. I think Bloomberg would do amazingly well on a farm as long as he was in charge of spreading fertilizer.

Ah, this mentality is why we in flyover country really despise arrogant lifetime city dwellers. They see themselves as so educated and cosmopolitan but have no clue nor do they care who grows the food that keeps them alive or how that food got to their plate. My old farmer grandaddy would have a few choice words for this sad sackless waste of skin.

He should open the Bloomberg School of medicine, because he could train anyone to be a doctor:
"All you have to do is discover a cure for something, then you can tell the medical establishment what to do and make sure they get everything right so there will never be any diseases ever, again."
Then there is the Bloomberg School of music:
"Blow into the small end of the horn and move your fingers up-and-down the outside to make sounds."
"The conductor waves the stick around until the music stops, then turns around and bows."

Most republicans and pundits are stupidly not taking full advantage of Bloomberg's remarks. He said that farmers AND INDUSTRIAL WORKERS have demonstrate that they lacked the gray matter necessary to meet changing work requirements. If we're going to sic the farmers on Bloomberg, why not do the same with industrial workers?

I have tried a small garden with radishes, carrots, green beans and tomatoes. Putting a seed into the ground is easy, and covering it with dirt is easy and watering it is easy. Now comes the hard part - you have to weed the garden and make sure the pests and molds, etc. do not devour the plant before it yields any food for the table. Growing food is too hard for me and I have a college degree in Medical Technology, plus quite a few credits post graduation. Farming is hard work and requires a lot of planning. The modern farms are seeded by gigantic machines which are all run by computers. The farmer has to know how to do it correctly. LIttle Mikey needs to shut his trap. He is only reminding us how arrogant leftists are.
