>> Bloomberg is a billionaire, and so it's not necessarily obvious that he understands
the plight of regular working people, but he has occasionally been on video talking
about different sort of workers, what their work is like.
And so, I want you to take a look at this.
Now, he is talking about different sorts of economies, different technological levels
in those economies.
Here he is talking about the difference between old style agrarian economies, and the technological
economy of today.
>> Technology is reducing the ability to give them the jobs, which is more and more, if
you think about it, the agrarian society lasted 3000 years.
And we could teach processes, I could teach anybody, even people in this room so no offense
intended to be a farmer, it's a process.
You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn,
then we had 300.
You could learn that, 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 teacher's gonna teach or the student's gonna learn.
>> Okay, so there's a few things there.
>> It's amazing, it's amazing.
>> I wanna start with what I think is, we can have a discussion about the merits of
any individual part of that.
But the money quote there is, you have to have more gray matter.
>> Yeah.
>> Which is funny for two reasons.
One, because he is still in effect saying that people that are outside of the information
economy aren't as smart.
And two, he seems to think that to be smarter you need more brain.
>> Yeah.
>> And I don't think that's how it actually works.
>> What Bloomberg said there about farming, it's as if I said, business is easy.
All you gotta do is buy low and sell high.
>> Yeah.
>> That's what you gotta do.
And I promise you that Bloomberg, if he were forced to farm to live, like if he were forced
to farm his own land to eat and survive, he would die, he would not have a single crop-
>> Yes.
>> Would grow from one of Bloomberg's farms.
>> Yes.
As someone who, listen, I can add it podcast, a video, I know-
>> Wow.
>> Instagram very well, I know pretty amazing.
I can't keep succulents alive.
>> Okay?
My Bloomberg, I think we need to start #FarmerMike, let's see you keep just one house plants alive,
without your help watering it whenever it needs watering.
Yes, farming actually takes a lot of skill, and a lot of analysis, and understanding about
like, I don't know, farm stuff.
>> Weather.
>> Wind, weather patterns, irrigation, planning, testing.
There is a ton of work, but listen, we all don't, just suckle glucose from stalactites
while we hang upside down in our bunkers.
I get that you don't eat real human food.
>> I don't know what billionaires eat, is what I'm trying to say.
>> And the thing is, I know that the whole X is the same as Trump gets thrown around
a lot, but Trump's favorite thing to say is, nobody knows more about X than I do.
And that statement just reeks of that to me.
I don't know a lot about farming, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't either.
I tried to grow tomatoes once, and I grew a massive tomato plant that never once had
a tomato on it.
>> I don't even know how that's possible.
It was like a tree, and there were no tomatoes.
And I have YouTube, and I can do Googling, and all that stuff.
>> Do Googling >> But more importantly, I wouldn't stand
here and say, it's simple, it's so easy.
And here's the thing.
Yes, to some extent, he is trying to make an analogy, or metaphor, or whatever.
But he's also the sort of person that supposedly is so savvy and electable.
But he goes around and insults people casually, talking about how they don't have enough gray
matter.
And I can't wait for Trump to run that in the mid or literally, wherever.
>> Yeah, anywhere.
>> Anywhere.
>> Yeah.
>> Regular people are gonna love that, the billionaire saying, you guys are dig around
the dirt, you don't have the brain matter.
Whether that's actually what he intended to say or not, that is how it is going to be
received.
>> First of all, that's 100% what he intended, I think the intention is very clear.
And it's the again, the deep-seeded ideology of Bloomberg is an unbridled hatred and contempt
for regular people.
It's so obvious, it seethes from his pores.
And I'm just imagining his next ad buy, in Iowa, or Nebraska, or something, and it's
him, tilling the land.
He's like, well, this is fun.
>> Just amazing.
