According to the public Colorado voter roll, sixty-three active status registrants, ranging in age from 18 to 56, listed the address of location of Lynx Crossing Residence Hall, an on-campus student housing facility for the University of Colorado Denver, as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. Ten have their Colorado ballots mailed to other addresses but twenty-one others have their Colorado ballots mailed to Lynx Crossing Residence Hall from other Colorado addresses. Of the seventy-four ballots and blue books recently delivered to the address, only thirty-eight identified room numbers so presumably (hopefully?) someone diligently chased around matching ballots to names in rooms.
 Lynx Crossing Residence Hall is an apartment community offering furnished studios, 2 and 4 bedroom apartments near the University of Colorado in Denver. Residents enjoy an on-site dining hall, fitness center and computer lab. It has a Google review rating of 2.6. People say this student dormitory has a nice vibe and friendly people, and guests mention the gym is nice. Other reviews mention management can be unhelpful and unresponsive, and the dining hall can have limited options.

According to the public Colorado voter roll, fifty-four active status registrants, ranging in age from 20 to 58, listed the address of The Other Side Academy in Denver as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. One has his Colorado ballot mailed to an address in Georgia so fifty-three Colorado ballots and blue books were recently delivered to the Academy for re-distribution to individual registrants.
 The Other Side Academy is an incredibly successful two and a half year self-sustaining, residential life-skills, and vocational training program for people in long-term criminal behavior, drug addiction, and homelessness.

On average, Americans save less today than they once did ...

For those wondering why we in the United States experienced so much inflation during the Biden Administration, which continues to plague us today, it was because of the idiotic decision of a partisan Senate in March 2021 to pass a $1.9 TRILLION COVID relief bill. Most Americans had returned to work by then and the big welfare handouts pushed up consumer demand when, because of production disruptions, supply was low. Ergo inflation! And no, inflation WASN'T worldwide in 2021. Just in those countries where feeble minded politicians didn't understand basic economic principles but wanted to win votes by handing out cash. Like the United States. geofactbook.com/fact/inflati…

According to the public Colorado voter roll, forty-six active status registrants, ranging in age from 19 to 67, listed the address of Denver Rescue Mission’s The Crossing on Smith Road in Denver as their primary residence when they registered to vote in Colorado. Eleven have mailing addresses directing their Colorado ballots elsewhere so hopefully the busy staff were able to get the thirty-five ballots mass delivered to their location this month into the hands of the appropriate individuals on a timely basis. The primary programs offered at The Crossing include the New Life Program, which serves up to 130 men focused on addiction recovery and rehabilitation, the STAR Transitional Program, which provides up to 100 rooms for working individuals, families, and participants transitioning out of homelessness, and support services that include case management, counseling, life skills classes, and daily meals.

According to the public Colorado voter roll, seventeen active status registrants, ranging in age from 18 to 30, listed the address of the U.S. Forest Services’ Collbran Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center located on a 48-acre campus in Collbran, Colorado, one of 88 such centers that opened in 1965, during the Job Corps' first year and managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It is free to eligible men and women ages 16 through 24 and there are 220 students on campus with 62 staff members. Of those listing this address as their primary residence on the Colorado voter roll, three have their ballots mailed to different addresses in Colorado, California and Texas, and five others collect their ballots here, Nineteen ballots were thus delivered to the Center’s address for distribution prior to the November 3rd election.

A Meta regulatory filing released yesterday shows Mark Zuckerberg considered leaving California over Proposition 40, a proposed one-time tax on billionaires, but agreed to stay in Silicon Valley for eight years. Under the deal, Zuckerberg can immediately sell 20 percent of a new class of nonvoting shares to cover any tax he owes, with the other 80 percent unlocking over eight years only if he keeps living in California. Prop 40 calls for a 5 percent tax on billionaires' stock and assets held in the state as of January 2026, though recent polling, after about $129 million spent opposing it, suggests the measure will fail.

There are two active status registrants on the October 5th version of the public Colorado voter roll, whose ballot mailing addresses are in Iran. One in Tehran and the other in Yazd. Neither address has been formatted correctly on the voter roll so it is impossible to pinpoint either location on a map, which is lucky because the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps probably monitors the Colorado voter roll and would be interested in tracking them both down. I know that Colorado's erstwhile Secretary of State doesn't ever monitor the voter roll. Both registrants represent Congressional District 5 and will be able to vote electronically on November 3rd. Colorado has THE dirtiest voter roll in the nation ...

Inflation, then and now ... how quickly Colorado's two do-nothing Senators forget ...

An economy comprises both private sector and public sector activities. Within the private sector, there are business entities that have employees and others that don’t. The largest category of business entities without employees are sole proprietorships. Although business entities without employees generated almost $38 billion in gross revenues in Colorado in 2024, they don’t usually contribute much towards state income tax revenues as owners, partners and proprietors oftentimes report expenses that match or exceed revenues. Business entities without employees are nevertheless a critical element of any state’s economy. A recent U.S. Census Bureau release highlighted that in 2024 Colorado had 627,479 business entities WITHOUT employees. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data highlighted that in 2024 there were 193,276 business entities WITH employees (a number that fell to 192,468 in 2025).

According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data released yesterday, one state (Oregon) still had fewer payroll employees in September 2026 than it had in January 2023, seven states had fewer payroll employees in September 2026 than they had in January 2024, and fifteen states, including Colorado, had fewer payroll employees in September 2026 than they had in January 2025. Some states are much better at encouraging job growth than others. In Colorado’s case, over the last twenty-one months the state has lost 44,400 mostly higher paying jobs and added 40,400 mostly lower paying jobs. This has reduced taxable annual gross payroll earnings by approximately $683.8 million and will likely result in decreased aggregate consumer spending and lower near term state tax revenue collections.

According to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics this morning, Colorado firms added 2,400 new payroll jobs in September 2026 and have added a total of 13,100 new jobs so far this year. This chart highlights those major industry sectors where jobs were either added or subtracted year-to-date September 2026. In September 2026 there were 2,973,800 payroll workers in Colorado compared to 2,960,700 in January 2026 and 2,977,000 in January 2025.

Colorado's civilian labor force fell by 3,096 to 3,179,285 in September 2026 according to data released this morning by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is the lowest monthly count since September 2022. The state's civilian labor force has declined by 69,505 since January 2026.

Of the forty-one active status registrants on the public voter roll who’ve identified the address of the Worner Campus Center at Colorado College, 902 N Cascade Avenue in Colorado Springs, as their primary Colorado residence EVEN THOUGH NO ONE LIVES AT THIS ADDRESS (it is NOT a residence hall), only fourteen get ballots mailed to this address, which presumably end up in the trash each election cycle. The other twenty seven have mailing addresses directing their Colorado ballots elsewhere. Twenty go to other Colorado address (2) California (3), Connecticut (1), DC (1). Illinois (2), Indiana (1), Massachusetts (2), Maine (1), New Jersey (1), New York (1), Oregon (2), Rhode Island (1), Texas (1), and Wisconsin (1). Seven have international mailing addresses and even though these registrants get to vote electronically, I thought I’d look up, those addressee just because I’m curious. These were, as follows: (1) the main campus address of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, which coordinates local administrative, academic, and internship support for the IFSA-Butler Chilean Universities Program in Valparaíso, Chile; (2) the home of Fritidsklubben Gammeltoftsgade, a local youth and leisure club for children up to age 14 in Denmark; (3) an improperly formatted address in Japan which may be that of a hotel; (4) an apartment building in Morocco which also houses an Airbnb; (5) a clinical laboratory in Pretoria, South Africa; (6) an historic wine estate in Switzerland; and (7) a one bedroom flat in central London. It is purely a coincidence that thirty-two (78%) of the forty-one individuals registering to vote in Colorado from an address that no one lives in, were also registered Democrats.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, although only 29,000 new jobs were added last month, a total of 452,000 net new payroll jobs have been added across the nation year to date September 2026.
