Noticed he drove a BMW too so business must be real good. High taxes, booming economy, and weed everywhere. Not sure what our Legislature and Governor spend the $ on. Sure as hell not going to road maintenance and tuition. Maybe it goes towards the super successful powerhouse football team we have up here at CSU?

That right there was 50% of the deciding factor to learn a skilled trade for me. But I had a lot of friend pay that much for CSU and could get a job afterwords.

Luckily I have 12 more years untill I have to deal with this. Dropping him off for first grade on Tuesday. Already telling him he needs scholarships or to join the navy.
