A friend of mine is a long time truck driver. He says that most of the new hires are Russian, Indian (dot, not feather), and Central American, all with foreign credentials(hinky is the word he used) that are being accepted to apply for CDLs by the state. Provisional CDLs are being issued with no verifiable training.Quote:

I'm leaving the state even though I was born here in '71, but my sister will still be here running the ranch and I really wanted to help her because she is in her 70s now. It sucks that I have to leave it; it is where I planned to retire and it wouldn't have cost me much to build my retirement house on it...sucks!!! I've been buying replacement parts and finishing a few projects, but the match barrels are pretty spendy to buy a lot of them at once. Thankfully, I'm only trapped in this shit hole state until 2026 when I finally retire. I'm listing my house in June and taking whatever I can get for it. I'm breaking all financial ties with this state and looking for property out of state to get ready for my move; limiting my purchases in this state as much as possible to not support it or the economy. Colorado is now among the top 10 of most people leaving the state. The crime is getting worse because of bad policy decisions and insurance rates are skyrocketing because of all the theft, violations of people's rights during COVID, circumventing TABOR with all the fees, and the attacks on gun owners make this state a terrible place to live. People that believe in freedom are all fleeing the communist run states for the free states, which sucks financially because the housing market is crashing here and going up in the places I'm looking at. There will be a big financial hit with this move; my home value has dropped 200k in nine months....30% drop predicted in the metro area. Colorado is a lost cause. It is part of the corruption machine that is taking over much of the country; time to cut ties with it and fortify the free constitutional states that still exist...no desire to be stuck behind enemy lines in a place like Colorado.
The legislature should draft a new bill to make this the new state flag so it's more representative of this state's core values

Also lots of immigrants from various African countries, based on my skewed view of the drivers I see in the ER after they crash.Quote:

Not sure how they manage to get by doing that on commercial job sites. Up in Aspen there were Russians working in the trades everywhere, Brits made a pretty good showing as well.Quote:
