I believe the Dems want Bloomberg because he is the best candidate for the job. He will deliver more high paying tech jobs. Those folks in "Flyover county" (mostly high poverty red states) should be happy, when instead of moving away for an $11 dollar an hour job as you stated in your food stamp thread. They will more opportunities to move up the financial ladder.
The Dems -- the Dems seem to be favoring Sanders right now according to the polls.
Bloomberg has a boost maybe from being a'new face' in the process but really hard to tell if he can really sustain it.
Then let's get back to this "elitist prick" as you put it. Why would you support that? I'd say the farmers of the USA are far far more important than Bloomberg's crank media empire.
It's becoming clear that this man holds contempt for most of America despite the polished high $$ advertising.
Harvesting is the most labor intensive part of farming. Farms engage undocumented people to perform this function and do so despite there is no cap on seasonal H 2A visas. This visa was created in 1952. Those visas require farmers to pay for transportation to/ from home country to job site, housing, meals, healthcare and competitive wage. H2B visa holders may bring their spouse and unmarried children under 21 although they are not legally able to work, despite temporarily living on the farm. Those children may attend US schools and the family is eligible for SNAP benefits. Then there’s the matter of birth right, once a faster path to citizenship.
One can see children working the fields alongside their parents as the sun sets during harvest.
It’s cheaper for farmers to engage undocumented workers and they do.
It’s curious to read so much outrage over edited Bloomberg’s response to a question From some of the same posters who are rapidly opposed to illegal immigrants.
Bloomberg’s point was that the globe has evolved from a mostly agriculture society to the Industrial Age to the Information Age- very different processes requiring more grey matter than physical strength.
Nothing particularly novel about his remark beyond that Bloomberg is running for nomination. His Democrat competitors and the Trump campaign are working OT.

As much as I despise Bloomberg and his anti 2A authoritarian policies. I do feel, if Trump loses, Bloomberg as POTUS will not hurt our economy like any of the other candidates.
the fact that you see a lot of farms means it's so easy a child could do it.
brilliant deduction there, boss.
Can you imagine?
They'd be taking out fences and driving around for hours with an empty drill. There would be a mechanic out to their place once a week. Driving a combine down a dirt road with deep ditches. That would be a hoot.

Planning and running a farm that's productive enough to earn a living at requires more skill and experience and forethought and receptivity than you give credit to. Likewise for manufacturing trades.
Bloomberg's 2000.00/mo. keyboards and accounts are the product of thousands of years of successive innovation.
Um, I see farms all over the place around here. They throw a seed in the ground and boom, corn in a bit of time. Farming isn't rocket science. Of course they can hire some scientist for their GMO crap and whatever else they are going to do. Spray everything with Roundup and such, but at the end of the day, farmering easn't hard. A child can do it.
I guess you would know, wow all that knowledge from growing asparagus in your yard.
