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.
I counld’nt find in the article where he calls them ‘Ignorant as F*ck’, just in the headline. Did you find it?
