The poverty line in this country is 100 times higher than the average income of many countries.

Let her last sentence sink in.

"By any means necessary"


I'm sure Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro and Eichmann uttered those same words......








Hey Candi-

And that is why they want us disarmed.

Just another day in the life of Ivan Denisovich.

Unfortunately, no one in Candi's circle of friends has ever heard of Solzhenitsyn...much less some of his characters like Ivan D.

Denver will be the capital of her new world order.

And she is a lezbot. Is the whole state gay now?

who cares if she's gay. It's her and others like her, whose political beliefs one needs to worry about.

I was listening to an excellent podcast today with an angle investor/entrepreneur who gave an excellent response to Andrew Yang's (and other's) proposal of Universal Basic Income, and it got me thinking about this very subject. People talk and talk about how free market economies aren't working, all while miss characterizing how they work (if you are winning, it means some one else must be losing), yet they always want to go to some sort of communism or socialism that has never worked. The logic doesn't follow. Free market economies have brought the most prosperity the world has ever known. They aren't perfect, but they certainly aren't broken. Communism/Socialism ONLY and ALWAYS brings suffering, and ultimately death, to the masses and has NEVER worked, yet people think we should abandon something that does work for something that doesn't.

Excellent. post.

Exactly.

Think about how stupid she is, how she completely ignores the histories of the Soviet Union, Red China, Cuba, Nazi Germany and the rest. Now think about the imbeciles that voted for her, they're your neighbors, prepare accordingly.

I used to not care.

June is now dedicated to making me care.

I don't preoccupy myself with what folks do with their naught bits but I do take note of groups that are part of the Lib coalition.

I can't add much to the excellent comments from you guys, other than to point out Denver is taking the absolute worst of the public-private partnership. The previous councils made sweetheart deals with developers that drove up cost of living/housing. Then they tried to force "affordable housing" which had made matters worse. Now the council is signaling an outright opposition to market principals and capital investment, which means those are off the table.

I think Denver is about to get even more expensive and needy. If we lose TABOR, it will probably be just to subsidize Denver.

These folks are taking the local economy for granted. There are very few of those service sector jobs that have to be done in Denver and could be done anywhere.



ETA: This is what the same people have done to San Francisco....

Startup rents bunkbeds in the Tendernob for $1,200 per month

Shoving people in "pods" for $1,200/month. And it's a co-living space so imagine how fun that would be!

Not far off...

Some people read Marx and think that it sounds reasonable.

Other people read Marx that also understand human nature and think there's no way that this works successfully.
