Utilit99 4,099 Posted February 18, 2020 I guess farmers, and maybe plumbers, and electricians, and builders, and being a worker in a factory and the like don't need as much "gray matter" per Bloomberg. I guess that's not our future? And I didn't realize being a farmer was that simple and mindless. . Quote Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s campaign slammed Sen. Bernie Sanders I-Vt. for circulating a 2016 video of Bloomberg’s comments on farming in which he said, “You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.”. “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.” https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/bloombergs-2016-comments-degrading-farmers-are-totally-off-base-john-lott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted February 18, 2020 Dumb thing to say. A farmer's head would explode if he was asked to do some hi-tech computers things that people do and those techies' heads would explode if they ever had to grow a crop in the fields. We need scientists, artists, garbage men, farmers, doctors, and teachers. Not all have (or require) the same skillset. Trying to value one high than the other is stupid. Add to the list of dumb things Bloomberg has said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I hear about stop and frisk or something else that Bloomberg said, there's never even a remote chance that Trump hasn't said or done something ten times worse. It's like when the Trumpsters were pushing the narrative that Biden was a pervert because he would touch a girl's shoulders or hold a hug a second too long. Trump has 19 sexual assault cases against him. Biden has zero! lol Is the pervert-angle one you rally want to play? Same with racism and Bloomberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
