Rich Democrats hate you: Bloomberg disses farmers, union members, and factory workers edition

Farming has always been an amazingly hard job which is hard to master.

These days with all the advances in farm technology and the constant pressure from large agricultural conglomerates being a farmer is a very demanding very technology intensive job.

In addition farmers are small business owners not just employee's so they have to know all the nonsense necessary to conform to the never ending mandates coming from Democrats in DC.

But according to 1% Mike Bloomberg, who the DNC seems to love, he could teach anyone to farm.

The agrarian society lasted 3,000 years and we could teach processes. I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer," Bloomberg said. "It's a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.
Clearly Bloomberg has never actually grown anything. Folks who have had backyard gardens know there is a lot more to successfully growing even a few tomatoes than that.

That's clear evidence of Bloomberg thinking more highly of his own competence than is justified by the facts.

He went on to effectively say that an idiot could do the common manufacturing jobs.

Then we had 300 years of the industrial society. 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.

Once again anyone who has actually worked in a factory knows there is more to it than that. If nothing else doing the same job over and over without messing up is not a trivial skill; many tech workers, who Bloomberg praises, would be unable to do that day in and day out.

Bloomberg went on to state that folks in the manufacturing sector are too stupid to learn to be high tech workers:

"Now comes the information economy and the information economy is fundamentally different because it's built around replacing people with technology and the skill sets that you have to learn are how to think and analyze, and that is a whole degree level different. You have to have a different skill set, you have to have a lot more gray matter. It's not clear the teachers can teach or the students can learn, and so the challenge of society of finding jobs for these people, who we can take care of giving them a roof over their head and a meal in their stomach and a cell phone and a car and that sort of thing. But the thing that is the most important, that will stop them from setting up a guillotine someday, is the dignity of a job"

This is a great example of how Democrat politicians think that they're better than us; that the should rule over us and run our lives.

No wonder that when he was mayor of NYC he worked hard to ensure that us stupid folk didn't drink too much soda.

His attitude is one that Democrat politicians have historically embraced.

When fighting a war to keep slavery legal Democrats said that Blacks were too stupid to run their own lives; that Democrats were helping Blacks by enslaving them.

All that's changed is that all of us in flyover country are now Blacks in the eyes of Democrat politicians like Bloomberg.

Remember the DNC is bending the debate rules because they love Bloomberg so much.
