Haven't heard very many good takes from this guy lately. Seems he's kinda fucking over his whole state. Was he always this bad?
i played league of legends with him when he was a representative as part of his outreach to constituents. he has taken a hard billionaire turn as his net worth is approaching 0.5 billion. it is actually really sickening seeing him change like this, i used to be the biggest fan of Gay Nerd Governor.
Colorado has effectively become a joke of a state where there are only two groups of people: peons who live here at the behest of major companies in workforce housing, and people who can afford a $1M minimum for starter homes in the middle of nowhere. Even in bedroom communities and small towns without real stores or services nearby, little bungalows go for $1M and vacant quarter acre lots go for $200k.
Sad as it may be, Colorado’s governor has no point in being a man of the people. There arent really normal people left here to be a champion of anyways. Except maybe some of the plains towns where they will hate the governor for not making this place identical to Texas anyways
I love being a resident of such a beautiful state, but its just a fools errand to think you will be here long term if you are a normal person on a less than 6 figure income
We had a burrito place open up nearby that does "Colorado style" smothered burritos. They suck, and people left reviews about how he is fucking up the historic district of our town with his overkill flags and his really shitty food. He didn't like that, and is actively harassing people who leave bad comments on his business. Dude got real mean real fast when he got called out, I wonder if it's just a Colorado thing at this point to be a prick.
Any burrito that sucks is not a true Coloradan style burrito. Burritos are like the premiere food item of Colorado as far as general quality goes
Odds are the guy is not a Coloradan. There arent many actual Coloradans. Colorado has never had more natives than immigrants at any point in its entire history as a state. Although the few “native” coloradans do tend to be insufferably hoity toity about being from Colorado
