I guess you think growing plants is some monumentally difficult task?
I can guarantee you would produce only a handful of tomatoes if you tried. It’s not a monumental task, but you downplaying it as if you just plant a seed and add water is comical. That’s how you end up like those retards in the CHAZ.
Are you a retard from the CHAZ?

Make a bed, put seeds in the ground, water them, weed them, profit.

I didn't say it was that simple. I said I could spend a day on youtube and grow plants like someone who has done it their whole life.
Point is the knowledge is not lost like OP suggests. Quite the opposite, the knowledge is at all our fingertips.

I don’t disagree, but the application of that knowledge is something entirely different.

Plus when everything goes to shite you won't be able to fire up the internet and use youtube as a reference.

I have a huge garden with everything from cayenne peppers to pumpkin in it and it’s definitely a lot of time and effort. I have to adjust for PH, check and treat for different bugs, battle with deer and bear

Next he will say “after a week of YouTube I could go start a 4,000 acre farm.”
Well, after a week of YouTube videos I could fly an airplane. Do you want to be my first client?

It's not some hard to learn skill, especially if you have decent soil.
So there’s no things like, the need to rotate crops?

And I could monitor all of it from my phone. Farming is easy.

Not really that easy. I’ve been researching growing hot peppers lately. The problem is too much Information now. Varying opinions, etc. I think you CAN move into a certain position of knowledge quickly but it still takes DOING it many times to really be competent at it.

Yeah, I have a Home Depot and YouTube too. These things don’t always work.

And damn maybe sometimes I'll have to go run the hose manually.
I've been meaning to start a garden anyway. I'll document my progress on the H&G board.

Yeah, it's easier to go to the store, but gardening is a fun and rewarding hobby. I'd love to try and grow pot one day.

Yeah, I had to help on Grandpa’s farm as a kid. It’s not as easy as Kork thinks to know what and when to do things, especially with weather considerations.
I expect his mentality is like AOC thinking the rubes dont have copy machines or internet. Like the meme I saw, “wait until she finds out we have computers and gps on our tractors”.
