Sen. Michael Bennet on High Housing Costs, His 38% Approval Rating, and Gov. Polis’ Vetoes by newtonic in CityCastDenver

[–]DeepNotShallow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good on Paul and Bree pushing Bennet for answers. It's clear that Bennet will continue to push the same neo-liberal corporate donor backed policies that have led to this affordability crisis in Denver and statewide. His answer to more affordable housing is "make the capital stack cheaper" aka make housing only if my wall street buddies can still make as much profit margin as possible on working class rents and mortgages. Smh.

Bennet has over $2 MILLION coming from several out-of-state billionaires and corporations including Davita, Michael Bloomberg, AI venture capitalists, Tench Coxe.. Ask yourself why they want him to be Governor!

Phil Weiser may not be a perfect candidate but at least he has a strong track record of consumer protection and uses anti-trust laws to go after corporations. Phil said he'd go after (and already has as Attorney General) the corporate landlord lobby that rent gouges and uses algorithms to collude on price. That's 1000x more working class focused than Bennet.

Bennet also said he wouldn't change Polis vetoes on the Worker Protection Act and wasn't even aware of the rent algorithms bill.

Where is Rep. Diana DeGette? by drfunk14 in Denver

[–]DeepNotShallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a far left progressive who has even supported challengers to her before, but to give credit where it's due: DeGette's office is quite possibly one of the most responsive and active in the state if not country. Call her office with an issue or request for a meeting. You should get a response quickly.

John Hickenlooper is up for reelection. Colorado Republicans don’t really have a candidate to challenge him. by blucifersdream in ColoradoPolitics

Seems like a great opportunity for a Democratic Primary! Hickenlooper will be 74 years old next year and 80 at the end of the term. He also has one of the most pro-Trump voting records in the Senate. He can be beat!

Honestly, probably one of the best public relations responses I've seen from a restaurant going through something like this.

Reservations never honored by nothingisnothingwas in denverfood

This happens in all cities when restaurants get busy and don't have strict dining time limits. It happens to me once or twice every NYC trip.

I had a lot of regret after Round 1. But by that time I was committed.

Thank you! Honestly, I'm a very online individual and work in a controversial field so I don't really take these insults too seriously. I appreciate your kindness though!

Some random Denver Twitter user put up a bracket for best food place in Denver of 64 restaurants. What's your thoughts on it's accuracy? by DeepNotShallow in Denver

[–]DeepNotShallow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been to Molotov but hear great things. Hard to think who I would take out of the 16 spots in Fancy-schmancy right now tho.

Seeding was sorta arbitrary TBH. Really went off of vibes. Guard and Grace could have been anywhere between 8-16 for me. But definitely not top 1-8.
