GO TO IT, LITTLE MIKEY! SHOW US HOW IT'S DONE!

Here is what Democratic candidate for president Michael Bloomberg said in 2016 at Oxford, in what he apparently offered up as an ad hoc history of labor, agriculture, and industry, leading up to his own sophisticated era, as reported in the New York Post:
“I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer,” Bloomberg told the audience at the Distinguished Speakers Series at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School. “It’s a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.”
The former three-term New York City mayor also addressed workers’ skills during the Industrial Revolution.
“You put the piece of metal on the lathe, you turn the crank in the direction of the arrow and you can have a job. And we created a lot of jobs. At one point, 98 percent of the world worked in agriculture, today it’s 2 percent in the United States,” Bloomberg said.

Ignorant city dwellers know so little, they don't know what they don't know.
I doubt Bloomberg has the brains to figure out how to set up and run a lathe.
I’d better go get an arrow for my lathe.
GO TO IT, LITTLE MIKEY! SHOW US HOW IT'S DONE!
This guy just drips contempt for anyone but himself.
Bloomy shows just how ignorant he is by trying to simplify something that is clearly beyond his comprehension.
I loved the stage skit with the spangles and the deer in the headlight look ;’}
Not Mikey himself of course. His hired hands...
It’s been almost 20 years and his city still hasn’t replaced the twin towers. Meanwhile, if you drive through MO or NE, you will see corn as far as the eye can see, in rows so perfect and organized that the rows look like an optical illusion of motion as you drive by. These monstrous farm structures were erected by much fewer people than are working on the World Trade Center replacement. If you fly over ID or CO at 35000 feet, you will see different colored rectangles and circles that farmers erected. At that altitude, you would have trouble seeing the Hoover Dam. You can even see these farms from space.
Lol. He tells us about how you put a seed in the hole and up comes the corn. What about when you plant wheat or soybeans, Mike?
And then Bloomberg goes on to insult skilled tradespeople, since he apparently believes that running a manual lathe in a machine shop is easy. I'd like to see Mike trying to do even a simple machining job. There is a reason people spend years learning how to become proficient machinists under the guidance of experts. It isn't because they are stupid, it is because like many jobs in this world they are a lot harder than they look to the leftist, elitist idiots from New York City.
I honestly wonder if this guy is even capable of holding his own shmekel while he takes a leak instead of paying someone else to do it for him.
Show me your callouses, Mike.
Jerk.
I bet MiniMike has a groom of the stool.
My brother told me that his wife’s nephew gave him a ride in one of these new computerized gigantic tractors [or whatever they are called since they are sophisticated machines]. He was astounded at the computerization and the efficiency of the ‘tractor’ as it moved from row to row, well not really from row to row, as it plowed and seeded multiple rows in one sweep of the field, then automatically, without having to steer and turn around, the machine turned around based on the preprogramming by the farmer. These ‘beasts’ are amazing and the rows are precise and straight. That is why we see these farm fields looking so dense and so perfect, especially when the crops first emerge from the soil. Such a pretty sight.
Not only do these farmers need to purchase this expensive equipment, up to $500k, but learn to operate them. Bloomberg is actually a pea brain, and I am reminded of the time when George H W Bush was chided because he was not aware of the new scanning machines in grocery stores. The news media tore him apart. But, Mikey has a ‘D’ behind his name, so don’t expect they will chide him about it. It will require the GOP and Trump to keep the info alive in the voters’ minds.
