    ok, I respect your thought. It very much sounds like the farmer arguing that crops were harvested for thousands of years without tractors to me.

      Would you tell such a farmer that it’s absurd to believe crops can be harvested without tractors in today’s reality?

        I’d tell the farmer that it’s absurd to think you can operate in the modern economy without modern tools.

          I got a business degree in Dallas and worked as a Systems Engineer in San Francisco for 14 years. I neither expect the farmer nor the nerd to understand macroeconomics.
