Where’s this guy been? Under a rock?
For the past hundred years, there’s been new technology and ideas arriving for the American farmer every single year.
If anything here....this idiot needs a new skillset, and maybe he needs to talk to an American farmer about how to think and analyze as a politician.
The fool has probably never been on a real farmer, where the owner makes his entire living from the dirt....
Mini-Mike wouldn’t last one day on a real farm, he would need a booster seat to drive a tractor or combine
Any sizable farm, especially one over 1000 acres is going to require a bunch of very expensive equipment to include tractors, plows, planters, etc....
His comments are incredibly ignorant and condescending
What else is different with the way Obama, Sanders and all treated coal mine workers?
This is just a program of guilting and demeaning the American people and their work and jobs.
Military, law enforcement and farmers are my top picks for most respected people. Bloomers doesn't know squat.
You KNOW this turd thinks all of us in flyover country are Neanderthalic mouth breathers. The real geniuses are packed together in NYC.
He probably won’t get the nomination, but will throw a couple billion behind whoever does. He’ll be the power behind the throne, which is more dangerous, and less accountable.
Last fall, I traveled through Greene County Tennessee, the Nolichucky river valley.
The fields were covered with acres and acres of soy beans. Hmmm....
What I learned was that the graymatterless farmers all leased their soil to a mega farmer that planted thousands of acres of soy beans in the very rich river valley soil
Explains why he skipped Iowa
Mike Bloomberg is a total a-hole.
He’s really perfect for the Demonrat party.
They should make Mike Bloomberg their god.
The lack of "gray matter" must explain how Hopi Indians and other Native Americans from the southwest developed "dry farming" in an area of the country that gets less than 10" of rain per year. /s
He mocks the very ones who have kept him so well (over)fed.
That’s going to end well.
When the apocalypse comes, the Bloombergs of the world will end up eating their money. Food will be the currency, and it won’t be bought for gold. If you aren’t the hunter or farmer you will be the inner city food.
Talk about making friends and influencing people! How could anyone NOT vote for this master statesman? Maybe someday I’ll be good enough to sniff his ass! Oh wait...returning to sanity....
Does he even know what a bar scanner looks like? Can you imagine him ever changing his own oil, just because?
Exactly, this is not just farmers, the elitist Rats look down at all use hard working peons (e.g., military, firemen, police, blue collar, etc.) as they know what is best for us.
His whole business is based off snobbery between banksters, who use it as messaging service, between each other ....and the idiot Banks pay out a fortune to rent terminals, just to keep the banksters happy.
If yr not on the system, then your not worth talking to, according to the banksters...the actual system ain’t that good, unless yr a cash bond trader and there are not many of them.
He’s a conman.....no wonder he hates people who get their hands dirty.
Wow. There's a devastating political ad, or two or three, to be made there. And it's not just about Bloomberg's ignorance and arrogance; it's about the imbecilities of socialism, in which people like Bloomberg think they are smarter than everyone else, and thus entitled to micromanage complicated systems of which they have absolutely no knowledge. This is Hayek's knowledge problem reduced to a soundbite.
If I were doing the commercial, I use quick clips of a farmer's technology -- the stuff Bloomberg doesn't even know exists -- creating detailed soil maps as it crosses the field, then planting with variable rating of seed and fertilizer dictated by the soil maps, all GPS controlled, then hi tech detection of insect problems, then a quick cut to the labs, then an illustration of the yield curves over the last hundred years.
Bloomberg is so ignorant that he doesn't understand that there's a much information technology in a cornfield as there is in a hospital.
Bloomberg isn’t even well acquainted enough with the countryside to ride English on his Hoyt-Clagwell like Oliver Douglas.
I am retired from John Deere. Farming has become high tech and has always been high risk due to weather, etc. Bloomberg is an idiot.
