Standing there after having presumably eaten food, Michael Bloomberg would have you think America's farmers are dumb.

Bloomberg on why farmers can’t work in information technology

MB: “I can teach anyone how to be a farmer 1 dig a hole 2 put a seed in 3 put dirt on top 4 add water 5 up comes the corn”

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.

This insult was from 2016, and lot of this stuff keeps rolling out from his past.

This one was particularly obnoxious because farmers have always been targets of the left.  Remember all the leftist abuse hurled at Rep. Devin Nunes for being "a dairy farmer"?  Remember how the Obama administration used to spy on farmers and hand their data over to left-wing activists?

Farming is hard work.  It's not putting a seed in the ground and letting nature take it from there — not even backyard gardening, which I do, is that simple.  It's the country's most successful enterprise, in that American farmers feed the world and that American farming has gotten so efficient over the centuries that very few people are needed to do it.

Having never farmed, Bloomberg seems to believe it's something simple: "I could teach anybody in this room to be a farmer."

The other thing is that Mister Smarty Pants, so much brighter than America's farmers, see, thinks farmers not only don't know tech, but can't learn tech (memo to Mike: they already have), or that tech always takes analytical skills.  Actually, it doesn't; much of it takes precision and an encyclopedic grasp of rules, which is often different from analyzing.

The few farmers who remain in farming tend to be ultra-tech-savvy, with knowledge of satellites, weather systems, fertilizer schedules, crop rotation, pesticides, regulations, commodity markets, and irrigation. 

As my old farmer aunt in western Michigan puts it: "Don't criticize farmers while you've got food in your mouth."

In any case, Don Trump, Jr. stated the obvious about this one:

Bloomberg wouldn’t last 3 seconds as a farmer... but like his comments on minorities, you can tell he really hates regular hardworking Americans.

He will never fight for them because he couldn’t care less about them. https://t.co/03CmskF5Vn

Elsewhere in the Twittersphere, there was nothing but opprobrium for Bloomberg's ignorant drivel, too:

The people who feed America are dumb, but the people who write HTML are smart. Ok, Mini, got it. рџ‘Ќ https://t.co/GWfIWEqZ51

Billionaire Bloomberg claims he "could teach anybody to be a farmer," even implying that farmers don't have the same level of "skillset" or "grey matter" as folks in tech jobs.

So demeaning, elitist, and out-of-touch it's appalling. pic.twitter.com/Auplmdq56m

Bloomberg is clearly talking about farming before the industrial revolution, but he also doesn’t seem to recognize modern farmers as active members of the tech community. It’s a common misapprehension about lifetime city-dwellers, but it’s horribly misinformed. https://t.co/M21lsSfrrO

It's funny because the equipment makers have been charging farmers tons of cash to update their equipment so the farmers learned machine code & are patching their own gear. Bloomberg would have a difficult time with crop rotation & fertilization schedules I bet.

Day 152 of the Bloomberg presidency. Rural America eats like a king. The urban centers, long since starved out by the refusal of the farmers to feed them, is reduced to scavenging and coming up with ways to make old AOL internet CDs edible. https://t.co/6iYSE1sfuw

What it shows is that this creep is so buried in his money that he's completely out of touch — out of touch not just with the feelings of ordinary people who end up being his targets, but with the actual doings of them, too.  He believes he knows, and that makes it worse, because he literally knows nothing about what it means to be a farmer.

Imagine this guy now as president, issuing diktats based on his bizarre and ignorant (but confidently held) beliefs about farmers.  It's proof in itself that Bloomberg is utterly unfit to be president.
