Who is Mini-me?

[UndertheHalo]

Bloomberg.  Also, deeply unfair to the Disney character of Pocahontas. 

[Blarg]

Why? Both are fictional.

[Tank]

1. Bloomberg runs with Hilary 

2. Bloomberg-clinton win

3. January 21, 2021 Bloomberg suffers a previously undiagnosed cardiac episode and dies

4. Hilary claims her throne

Yeah, that’s some BS there. I went to college with a lot of people that grew up in farming families. And yeah, the guy that runs a local liquor store or a fast food employee in those rural areas might be a dumbass (maybe), but the people running successful farms are most certainly not. Most of the time, in fact, they’re very well educated. Engineering, chemistry, and biology degrees are pretty common within that group of people in my experience. It takes a lot to keep a farm running. A knowledge of hard sciences, economics, and freakishly good/easily adaptable mechanical skills are an absolute must. People shitting on them like they’re all backwoods hicks with a fifth grade education is one of the things I really dislike about urban lefties. It simply isn’t true, and just a tiny bit of effort thrown towards understanding the issues in those communities would go a long way to getting past that.

A protest I can tolerate

Those can't be real quotes from Bloomberg right?  Snopes.  Help me out here.

Apparently animal activists protesting something  about the dairy industry and a bill he supported/worked on.  Unsure about the details

Combine it with his love of minorities.  Him and Steyer sure could have put that money to better use.

If you ever want a good three hours of crazy stories, go to a bar somewhere in rural Kansas (or Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, etc...) and ask someone in the ag industry what the craziest thing they ever had to fix on the fly was. You will not be disappointed.

My issue with Bloomberg's quote on farmers and IT isn't that he says farmers can't be taught IT, it is that he's still following the outdated singular intelligence model of IQ. There are things a farmer can do that require a type of intelligence(s) that Silicon Valley nerds can never do. Just as, yes, there are things that nerds can do that  many farmers would have a hard time learning. With the caveat that these are generalizations and we really have to look at it on a case by case basis.

There are different types of intelligence. There isn't one correct taxonomy, but Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory is pretty good. He describes eight: musical, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic. I've met brilliant people that can't crunch numbers worth shit or write a sonnet, but are extremely emotional intelligent (interpersonal) or self-aware (intrapersonal) or artistic, athletic, etc.

So basically, fuck Bloomberg.

Also, the way he’s describing what all goes into farming is a simpletons explanation of it.  Agriculture is quite complicated (goes without saying) there’s tons of science involved.  He’s just completely wrong. 
 

he appears to think it’s basically making a chia pet grow a coat of grass and that’s more or less it.

I actually don’t think the skill sets are terribly disparate from the farmer side. Data and data analytics applications have been gaining a lot of steam in the ag industry over the last 10 or so years. There are a lot of young people that grew up in that industry that understand the value of things like NDVI data and want to apply it (or have applied) it to ag endeavors. A lot of the old school guys aren’t developing apps of course, but there are plenty of younger people in that space that understand the value of modern information processing and how it can help their bottom line.
