Is there anything more embarrassing than a grown man acting as unpaid PR for billionaires?
There’s a guy who’s been standing outside multiple King Soopers stores with a sign that says “KEEP GAS STOVES LEGAL!” He’s telling people that “the government will force homeowners to rip out their gas stoves by January 1, 2027 unless a constitutional amendment is passed.”
That’s not advocacy, it’s just spreading misinformation to strangers who are trying to buy groceries. Some rich people in an energy corp boardroom are laughing at how easy it is to use dudes like this to do their bidding.
You can disagree with Colorado’s natural gas policies, but parroting flat-out false claims on behalf of corporate interests is a different thing entirely. It’s hard to watch someone so clearly being used, and doing it enthusiastically.
Here’s some actual information for those who are interested: https://coloradosun.com/2025/12/05/colorado-natural-gas-phaseout-reader-questions/
