Yes. Damn that new fancy tech of farming that only the rich can afford!
Seriously. Think about what you're saying for a second. Tech that is only for the rich becomes affordable for the masses faster and faster every year. Computers were for nation states in my parents life time. Today there are computers more powerful than the first computers in cheap toys.
We cheer for tech that only the rich can use now because it will be for the masses soon. Tech that never exists for the rich, will not exist for anyone ever.
Check your logic.
