...Bloomberg on why farmers can't work in information technology.

...Bloomberg is clearly talking about farming before the industrial revolution, but he also doesn't seem to recognize modern farmers as active members of the tech community.

...Bloomberg is an enormous clown who doesn't know about farming and doesn't deign to speak to farmers.
