So basically, we’re looking at a villain lineup straight from a superhero movie! 🎭 Who’s your pick for the worst? 😉

Honestly, they kind of nailed it

Good data. STR platforms should have been higher on the list as they have basically the same or worse impact as corporate landlords, but it probably varies from place to place.

Within industries, voters evaluate some actors as worse than others: - Corporate landlords < mom-and-pop landlords - Oil and gas companies < renewable energy companies - Large corporations < small businesses - Multinational banks < small, regional banks

Appreciate the data an! A concern - the graph makes some cuts in the axes - scores were from 1-7 but graph only shows ~3-5.5. I understand that this is because that's where all the results fell, and you likely didnt want a load of empty space, but it implies a bigger difference than reality.

Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer, Steyer! The faux left foe have exposed themselves as standing for nothing, not against bigots, billionaires or mass murders

Honestly surprised that both major political parties beat health insurance companies

How on earth are health insurance companies viewed as neutral?
