Two main ones... Coors and Wal-Mart.
The Coors family has repeatedly tried to hold office in Colorado and always gets shut down. They are lying thieving assholes. Ask anyone in Colorado. We don't like them here. And the beer is fucking gross.
A few years ago, Wal-Mart tried to open a giant mega-store in what they thought was a failing section of Denver. Turned out to be the second fastest growing section in Colorado. The residents that had worked so hard to clean up the area with local businesses, good restaurants, and doing whatever else was needed to bring the 'hood back up from near destruction successfully voted Wal-Mart out of the area. Now, where the Wal-Mart would have been in a really kick ass indoor farmer's market, a nice selection of up-scale but rent-controlled housing, and a few other local businesses (Mostly owned by the people that live right down the street.)
Other then that, I don't much care. I try to stay away from fast food but that's for health reasons and I'd rather catch a bite at a local mom/pop place. I don't drive so the gas thing doesn't bother me. I have AT&T/Comcast and have never had a problem. I own Nikes and pretty much every other name brand you can think of so...
Oh wait... I forgot. This kind of goes with the fast food. I refuse to eat at any place like Chilis, Applebees, Olvie Garden... But that's just cause I'm super picky about my food.
