‘I Can Teach Anybody … To Be a Farmer’: Bloomberg Once Belittled Agriculture and Factory Workers

As it happens, I agree with him — especially this part:
“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.”
This is the kernel of the problem that we face going forward. This is the core message that Andrew Yang was setting out. But just asking the right questions doesn’t mean you have the right answers; the typical Democrat response to this is ‘More Free Stuff!’ and that doesn’t treat the problem, merely disguises the symptoms by burdening the productive part of the population.

The more information I see on Bloomberg, the more I think he’s a real dick. I just can’t decide how much of my dislike is because of actual facts (and contradictions) and how much is just his Northeast Corridor attitude.

He’s sort of a male Hillary.
