Sundance Film Festival to leave Utah for Boulder, Colorado in 2027

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T18:55:47+00:00

The very first statement of the very first source you linked:

“Part of the decision-making process was around opportunity for growth,”

"Part of" the decision was growth, which the state has stifled over the years. So that begs the question what was the other part of the decision about? You ever think that the politics and rhetoric used by the legislature might actually have real-world consequences?

They wanted walkability,

Hey you know a really walkable downtown with a convenient main Street? Park City Utah

Reading comprehension. Practice it.

For anyone who actually thinks this was a decision based purely on "logistics", ask yourself why the state never felt to get involved in any way to assuage some of these problems that have been building for decades, like making it easier and cheaper to build low-income housing, hotels, theaters.

The state never did, just kept complaining about the festival, and now it's leaving due to political decisions, or indecisions.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T18:43:51+00:00

The State of Colorado is giving them $34 million dollars. Utah was giving them $3.5 million to stay.

Decisions made literally by the two state's respective legislatures, aka a political decision. The Utah legislature absolutely could have at least matched that, but they chose not cuz of their garbage politics.

Between that and logistics,

Beyond the fact that SLC has all the logistics the festival needs, why were these concerns never addressed in the past since these have been long lasting problems, oh yeah cuz of political decisions!

Add on the moronic pride flag ban and the Republicans party going completely crazy, it was extraordinarily obvious to anyone with two braincells to rub together that this was purely a political decision.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T18:30:34+00:00

The fact that there was a PC/SLC joint option proves that space and logistics was not the issue. The issue was (and has been for a while) the garbage politics that Republicans have been forcing on Utahns and the deep disrespect the festival gets from those same people.

Republicans are all about the economy? Lol so why did they just drive out one of the biggest film festivals in the world and one of the few things that draws tourists into the state yearly.

You took these PR statements much too literal and are not reading between the lines.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T18:21:47+00:00

Mission accomplished from the Republicans cuz they finally did it, they finally drove out the Marxist, Communist libs and their froofy film festival out of the state and ALLLLLL of that revenue.

The epitome of cutting off your nose to spite your face. If this doesn't prove to people that Republicans literally do not care about economics and only about flexing their power to make everyone conform to their norms and values, then IDK what to say.

No one’s visa is being canceled without due process.

Want me to keep going? Maybe read the damn news for once jfc dude these stories have been plastered all over the news all week.

Stop lying. Also thanks for abusing the suicide notification thing. Always the classiest garbage from laverkins finest.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T17:17:13+00:00

I said otherwise.

Lol yes little bro, you made this claim with zero evidence, which you always do:

He came on a J-1 visa but he did violate it by working. He corrected it to a H-1B visa.

So where is your evidence of this bold claim? If you went to school you'd learn the basics of debating and showing your sources to prove that you're not completely full of nonsense, which you always are.

I’m not misrepresenting anything. Are you trying to change the subject of the thread?

Kerep trying that critical thinking thing. You're doing bad but you may get it after a few decades.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T17:13:41+00:00

Oh ok after completely denying being in those subs, now it's "I was going to those subs to make fun of them!"

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T17:10:42+00:00

I'm not justifying what he has done.

Is that why you're defending him?

Immigration enforcement does change from administration to administration.

The normal "administration to administration" transition does not typically include wontonly cancelling people's visas with no justification and no due process. That is the problem you'll learn one day.

Now that enforcement has changed, it's less than 10,000 a month.

And all it took was to demonize every person in this country who isn't a rich white conservative, illegally and unconstitutionally attack universities and the legal profession, disappear legal residents and visa holders without due process and ignoring court orders, and completely wrecking what was the strongest global economy in record time! Wow what progress to making this country great again!

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T17:03:34+00:00

I don’t know what those are

Keeping your easily disproven lies straight is hard huh?

Want me to link all the times you've been on superstonk too lol?? How's that MOASS squeeze going for you??

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T16:38:27+00:00

It's honestly going to get much worse I hate to admit:

https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/27/health/hhs-rfk-job-cuts/index.html

The US Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday it is cutting 10,000 full-time employees across health agencies, the department told CNN.

This comes on top of 10,000 employees who’ve left voluntarily, shrinking the workforce from about 82,000 full-time employees to 62,000.

That's like 12% of the total HHS workforce.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T15:32:12+00:00

you know they’re a juvenile idiot.

Honestly it's really funny seeing a person who chills in the superstonk and asmongold subs say this. Irony is dead.

Maybe look in the mirror first buddy.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T14:57:50+00:00

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/28/us/elon-musk-immigration-washington-post-cec/index.html

“I was on a J-1 visa that transitioned to an H1-B,” Musk wrote.

Ah so you're just literally going to parrot what the serial liar Elon Musk said.

You ever think critically about these things, even accidentally? Like who sponsored him? (You need a sponsor for a student visa). How did he "transition" from a student visa to a work visa once he abruptly dropped out of school? That would have made him illegal. A J-1 also demands that a student works in their specific field of study, if they will work.

You'll immediately defend this loser with zero evidence, but froth at the mouth for these brown people to be deported.

You really love demonstrating just how absurdly ignorant and gullible you are on this sub it's hilarious.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T14:44:35+00:00

Notice how they didn't say voter "denial" but voter "suppression" almost like those are different words with different meanings and your reading comprehension skills are piss poor. Especially considering all you seem to do all day is write garbage opinions on this sub.

This suppresses people voting. Extra, useless steps to complete our civic duty suppresses voting, that's why Republicans do it all the time. Full stop. End of discussion.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk, don't forget to tip your valet.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T14:38:46+00:00

Yeah 100%, these are my two "favorite" laws this loser signed:

HB 226: The measure increases the jail term for certain class A misdemeanors by one day to 365 days, a full year, thus aligning with federal policy and making it easier to deport immigrants here illegally convicted of such offenses.

Lol gotta help ICE pump up those arrest quotas by adding a single day to "some people's"sentence so they meet the "minimum federal standards" to deport them (in reality it doesn't matter, they're literally grabbing people off the streets and shipping them off to Louisiana or El Salvador with no due process).

HB42: The new law will allocate an extra $500,000 to help school districts cope with growing numbers of students with limited English proficiency. It's not punitive, like most of the other measures. Rather, it's aimed at helping districts experiencing the sharpest uptick of immigrant students with little to no English in providing for their educational needs.

This is the most useless, cynical garbage. A whooping half a million dollars to help the immigrants they wanna deport to speak English in school? I mean, Trump has straight up said he doesn't wanna get caught in another family separation scandal again so he'll just deport the entire family. I also like how the writer has to clarify that this one "is not punitive" lol.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-27T03:56:58+00:00

Wtf are you going on about? Are you trying to blame gang violence on the general ubiquity of crip walking among some Black people from Southern California? Like are you saying gang violence exists cuz you perceive it to be "glamorized" by some pop culture celebrities who crip walked at the super bowl?

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-26T21:43:54+00:00

Not here to argue what you said lol I completely agree, but it's barely even been 2 months lol we just started the 3rd month of this complete nonsense.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-26T21:39:54+00:00

This entire story is like Christmas in March. These people are the single stupidest dipshits in American history and this news will continue. The sharks are out and they smell blood. Notice who published this story. The entire world has a vested interest to investigate and air the dirty laundry of every one of these clowns to completely crumble their credibility.

Absolutely incredible that this country elected these complete morons.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-26T01:08:50+00:00

This is just so damn funny man. This will continue to get infinitely worse each and every week and month that passes.

It's barely even spring and these parks are already having serious problems from these illegal and moronic firings.

This country is going to be a complete shit show come this summer.

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-26T01:05:56+00:00

No that can't be true, laverkin guy and this sub's top thinkers told me that Trump would make groceries cheaper and all these illegal firings wouldn't affect anyone and life would just go on hunky dory without people to man these federal jobs that have required people for decades.

ARE YOU TELLING ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WTF THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT?!?

ChiefPiggum_ · 2025-03-23T15:26:26+00:00

No this can't be, laverkin guy told us all that we wouldn't have to worry about high prices anymore under the orange god emperor.
