This will do nothing more than continue to shift demographics farther to the left. I fail to see how 800 jobs paying an average of $180,000 will do anything other than continue to drive housing cost up.

Srsly, would it be better if those jobs came to the Springs or Pueblo, instead of Denver? At least D is already a leftist shithole, maybe the extra money will help to support more normal small folks further down the food chain.

@Gman, "Silicon Mountain" used to be the Springs, thanks to Intel, Atmel, Symbios, etc - but it turns out no Americans, anywhere, can compete with overseas offshored outsourced labor costs.

Don't worry. They will happily take your tax money and spend it on this side of the divide..

I still don't think this means that Denver is suddenly going to get 800 new residents. I'd guess more than 700 of the jobs they fill will be from candidates that already live here.

Surprisingly, there are some conservatives executives working at a company which promotes liberal ideas and vice versa.

For an example, the executive personally believe in smaller government, lower income taxes, etc.
However, in terms of corporate idea, he/she wants more regulations so that other companies would dare not to enter the market.

Pharmaceuticals and Bank sector would be a good examples.


Of course the damn FOUNDER OF THE COMPANY who is also in upper management have luxury to promote their own personal beliefs.
Not a lot of hired executives can.
