‘I Can Teach Anybody … To Be A Farmer’: Bloomberg Once Belittled Agriculture And Factory Workers | The Daily Caller
“It’s a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn. You could learn that. Then we had 300 years of the industrial society. You put the piece of metal on the lathe, you turn the crank in the direction of the arrow and you can have a job. And we created a lot of jobs.”
But the multi-billionaire businessman said the information economy is not so simple because “the skill sets that you have to learn are how to think and analyze” and that is “fundamentally different,” from agriculture or manufacturing, he told the audience.
When Bloomberg News’s Reporting on China Was Challenged, Bloomberg Tried to Ruin Me for Speaking Out
- I AM ONE of the many women Mike Bloomberg’s company tried to silence through nondisclosure agreements. The funny thing is, I never even worked for Bloomberg.
"But my story shows the lengths that the Bloomberg machine will go to in order to avoid offending Beijing.
Bloomberg’s company, Bloomberg LP, is so dependent on the vast China market for its business that its lawyers threatened to devastate my family financially if I didn’t sign an NDA silencing me about how Bloomberg News killed a story critical of Chinese Communist Party leaders..."

Abortion proponents on social media are criticizing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for his response to an anti-pro-life messaging bill out of Alabama, but the whole pro-abortion side of this story is missing the point about the rights of the unborn.

"Voter Suppression" Is a Myth, but It’s an Article of Faith to Liberals | The Heritage Foundation
"Voter Suppression" Is a Myth, but It’s an Article of Faith to Liberals | The Heritage Foundation:
I received a strong dose of the misinformation warping the minds of young people this past weekend when I spoke on a panel on the subject of election integrity at the Washington conference of Junior State of America.
Conference attendees were high school students from the northeast and southeast parts of the country. I was on a five-member panel—and the only conservative on the panel—in a standing room-only crowd.
As you might imagine, the focus of the liberals on the panel was the “voter suppression” meme that the left has been pushing for years to scare voters and their constituencies.

Bloomberg’s ‘mercenaries’: Billionaire Dem funding network of climate lawyers inside state AG offices | Fox News
Bloomberg’s ‘mercenaries’: Billionaire Dem funding network of climate lawyers inside state AG offices | Fox News
"A program funded by 2020 presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is paying the salaries of lawyers who are farmed out to liberal state attorney general offices to pursue climate-based litigation -- a compact critics say amounts to Bloomberg buying state law enforcement employees to advance his preferred political agenda.
The arrangement, which currently pays the salaries of Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs) in 10 Democratic AG offices, is drawing new scrutiny now that Bloomberg is running for president.
The New York University School of Law's State Energy & Environmental Impact Center, which was started in 2017 with $5.6 million from Bloomberg's nonprofit, hires mid-career lawyers as "research fellows" before providing them to state AGs where they assist in pursuing "progressive" policy goals through the courts.
