Show Notes
Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show that covers the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin L. Jones and D. Scot Miller discuss the new version of Empower Oakland, a group of "Moderate" (really Republican) elites who will be trying to influence elections a la GrowSF. We also discuss how some techies are calling out right wing VC David Sacks, but not for being a pest to San Franciscans.
