For those inclined, this contains the entire question and Bloomberg’s response and provides a balanced review of Bloomberg’s points.

Jobs accomplished by following and repeating a specific series of steps are in marked decline.

My add: Most rule based based functions can be substituted by technology.

Farmers these days are far and away the biggest welfare queens! Last two years alone farmers received 28 BILLION dollars in handouts, to bail them out from trump's disastrous tariffs. Of course, trump's stable genius business acumen led him to bankrupt a casino, among others, which takes tremendous lack of smarts. And of course if farmers were smart at all, they wouldn't have put themselves in the line of trump's tariffs.

Farmers provide basic commodities that are necessary for life. Can you explain to me why actual welfare recipients are any more deserving of their welfare? How about all of our corporations that receive generous subsidies or are literally just gifted money?

I think it's quite insulting to call farmers "welfare queens". We all know welfare queens exist, and their contribution towards society is nothing compared to the sweat and sacrifice of the farmer who keeps America fat.

As for Bloomingturd, I don't know if he realizes it or not, but he is going to have to appeal to people in order to win. He sure is talented when it comes to repulsing minorities, midwesterners, and now farmers. Wonder what group will be the next target of his ire...

Point is, farmers ARE actual welfare recipients! No better or worse than any other. And if farmers keep Americans fat, then they are actively harming the country!

(Methinks you are missing the point entirely.)

Excellent: Bloomberg can kiss the midwest goodbye.

There's a big conglomerate out of Brazil which controls 85% of our meat production in this country!

Actually, farmers are the better kind of welfare recipient, because as I mentioned, they provide something you and I both need. I would rather subsidize farmers than watch them all go bankrupt and become dependent on imported food products.

But I definitely would not advocate doing something against my nation's best interest, just to prove how much of a diehard partisan anti communist/socialist I can be. Allowing the rest of the world and their rock bottom crop prices to put our farmers out of business would be a very stupid thing to do in the long run.
