0:00I just, so yeah, I think everybody has something important to say and contribute. Everybody has a good perspective on something nobody else knows anything about. Good. All right. So the good and bad things about Denver, I’d say are the people are the good things and the bad things. It’s just like one of these things that we have four different changing seasons all the time. And we go through all the seasons and like all the states do. So it’s just like we have like a moody group of people that go up and down and fluctuate throughout the year. We’re one of the states with some of the most sun like Arizona. And it’s just one of those things like I don’t.
0:30I think that we have too much sun or not enough, but I think that we’re a state that’s educated and that we have groups of people that are always doing different types of political polls and stuff like that, so it keeps everybody at least educated from the meanwhile, even though all the schooling went down for all the younger kids and stuff like that, but it’s trying to keep it a whole balanced cycle, you know? We’re right down here by the Capitol. What do you think about the government here in Denver? I think it’s fine. I think it’s super strong and I think it’s like full of the ups and downs of the whole wide world, you know
1:03Mm-hmm all the automation type things and what it takes to even get to an automation level makes a super sophisticated human being at that point, you know Are you from Denver? Yeah, I’m from Boulder. I was born in Boulder, but okay I didn’t spend much time in Denver. Damn, acting like a fool of my pants on the ground Okay, I like that video Yeah, me too. Anyway, long story short, I’m from Colorado, and I snowboard, and I’ve done everything the Coloradans do and stuff, but there’s just ups and downs. It’s a great place to live. The economy’s great, and I hope it stays that way, you know?
1:36Are you optimistic? Yeah. I’m pessimistic too, so I can actually reach the challenges and goals that I need to get to, but I’m naturally optimistic. I’m the majority, you know? You got to keep an attitude. You got to have hope, huh? Mm-hmm And what’s your name? Bo Bo? Yeah Bo from Boulder? Yep Okay It’s weird, huh? Everybody’s like, what’s your real name? What’s your real name? Excuse me, but it’s Bo B-E-A-U Okay, that’s cool And when you look at how Denver and Boulder have changed, right, over the course of your lifetime What are the things that stand out most to you? The state and federal types of things that’s happened here
2:15some of the biggest deals in the whole wide world because we’re getting people that are confusing state and federal law and it’s confusing everybody. But things that are broke down, such as booze, it’s going to help the economy. I don’t think anybody should be told what they can and can’t do when they own small businesses at all. I mean, it’s governed by whatever state tax law, you know, you need a state tax ID number and stuff like that. But that’s how booze started and that’s how we got through prohibition and all that. So you think pot’s good for Colorado? Yes, anything. Legalize cocaine, legalize each drug, but make sure it’s taxed and there’s
2:51the benefits on the other side, you know, and the laws that go along with it.
2:56Last question. Do you think the internet is what’s good or bad for people? It’s good. It’s an ever-changing thing, and it’ll always be a great thing that’s evolving. That’s why so many people feel like dealing with the internet. It’s the way to do the government. I think it’s a great thing to do both, but I mean, when you stop paying the whole state and federal tax, because it’s one of those things that’s up to you, too, but that’s the chances you take yourself if you’re getting into millions of dollars and stuff like that. There’s all kinds of stuff that governs people around them, and there’s ways around everything if you do things correctly.
3:27I’m just saying, like, I just don’t like seeing people get pegged to themselves, getting stuck with their own money and not knowing what to do correctly, you know? Mm-hmm. What about crypto and AI? Crypto and AI, I think it’s great algorithm-type stuff. I left crypto coins, brought out Bit and so on and so on and so on, farming and all the other different things that they do with Bitcoin, but it’s one of those things, it’s forever changing. I like the way it’s a free open economy. Hell yeah. Any words for children under the age of 10 years old? If you’re going to get into drugs, do them the right way and be responsible about your
4:05drugs that you do. Make sure you can pay for them and make sure it’s not a fucking oppression on your life, If you know what I’m saying, like don’t let it become something that’s bad for everybody else around you and don’t let it take over. Your plans are to do it that way, do it that way and go about it your whole life. Don’t use blame to everybody else around you. Always stick to yourself and stick to your guns and what you believe in, you know. And be responsible, huh? Yeah. Yeah, take responsibility. I hear that. I appreciate that. Yeah. Do you have any suggestions on questions I should ask people about here in Denver before
4:37I leave? I don’t know what they think it would be the next thing to do to pass the next drug laws, you know, because the whole federal thing has finally gone through, right? That’s what they’re saying that it’s at. So everything’s cool on the federal level. So state and federal level should be fine for all states someday, you know? You mean like decriminalizing things? Yeah. What do you think is the biggest impact of things being criminalized? Nothing. I think it’s doing great. I think all the demographics will show in the whole long run, too, that everything’s going to be fine. It will help the economy in each state that goes that way
5:09Do you think that drugs are a detriment when you look at places like over here on Colfax? I think they are what you make out of them, no matter who you are Do you think the city doesn’t have to support those people? They don’t have to, but they are going to have to if people end up wind up dead on the streets You know what I’m saying? Half-dead, drunken, zombie-type people It’s already happening, though, no? Yeah, I mean, it takes people years to get out of the cycles But if they choose to step it up to themselves and not blame everything around them, they lose quicker.
5:38Does this city make resources accessible to people? Yep, all different ways around. What are the resources that stand out to you? I mean, it sucks when other people start using other people’s resources and stuff. And it’s one of the things I’m getting stuck in with my name.
5:53I believe that people should have housing and ways to get stepping stones to get on their feet. I don’t know if it should be forever. And if it is, you purchase something And then yes, you can sell that What restricts that are laws that are going to be governing those types of things That’s why I watch your laws and watch whether you’re okay or not okay Hell yeah But there should be laws Because if you buy something under the price of everybody else It should be offered by you It should be a known fact for yourself to let it go for a fair price to the next family that needs
6:29Absolutely, I think that makes sense Alright, any last words for my audience? No. Hell yeah. That’s Bo from Boulder.
