    He says he can teach anyone to farm. As a master de bater, something he probably learned in addition to his vast knowledge of farming, I'd guess he's trying to cull the herd first.

    Yeah. I have a cousin that runs a ranch. We have one next door neighbor that is a rancher. We have another ranch that is one lot from being another next door neighbor. I grew up with livestock. My uncle was a rancher. My grandfather was a farmer. My mother grew up on a farm. My dad grew up on a ranch. There isn't anything stupid or lazy about farming or ranching. Bloomberg can go **** himself.

    My father is an Ag teacher and farrier and equine dentist and has also been a dairy farm consultant, he has a Master's in animal science from UF. Think old Mikey could trim a horse?

    I get that Nanny State Mike isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer but the Dem "debates" haven't required much in the way of intelligence and debating skills, either.

    Actually it should be very simple to prove. Just provide links to racist things Bloomberg has said or done.

    Harassing mostly minorities and making it a risk for them to go outside. Minorities were the most effected by this completely needless policy.

    His point was farming was simple manual labor that anyone could do with very little grey matter. Farming today is highly complex and sophisticated along with long hours and hard work. Mike described a backyard garden not farming.

    Nobody is arguing Mike isn't wealthy but his dumb ass statements have lost him the black vote the farm vote and the industrial worker vote.

    Its effect on minorities, the reason bloomberg fought tooth and nail to keep stop and frisk by his own admission. Intent is pretty clear but if your laws disproportionately harm black people, it is racist especially on an institutional level. It was needless and did a great deal of harm.

    You may not like it, but the libertarian cephalopod makes a valid point.

    And you have to remember that Bloomberg caved to those people and their standards:

    Bloomberg apologizes for stop-and-frisk policy
    https://nypost.com/2019/11/17/bloomberg-apologizes-for-stop-and-frisk-police-policy/

    I don't know that I agree with it, but what I think is irrelevant. I don't live in NYC, Im not a Democrat and I would never vote for an arrogant control freak who wants to micromanage everyone''s lives...

    Which explains perfectly why the N.Y.Times just sighted a Poll
    finding Bloomberg as the Leader of the Democrat Candidates.
    Because we Have No ... Free Press.The N.Y.Times being a
    majority of Jew Journalist and the like.Like Jennifer Rubin who the
    Times uses and is termed an American Conservative Journalist.LIE.
    Like David Brooks.
    You are being aggressively LIED to by a stinkin' Dirty Corrupt Press.

    Which poll shows Bloomberg as the leader of the Democrat candidates? Every poll I'm seeing online shows Sanders leading all candidates

    No. That's not what he is saying at all.
    What he said in that clip is basically what all the flyover people here have been saying.
    Farming used to be throw a seed in the ground. Anyone can do that. But now it's high tech and that takes more smarts.
    Same with the lathe operator. You could in the old days get a good job turning the crank making flag poles. Now you design a machine to do the whole thing without a person touching the part.
    It's exactly what is happening.
