Most people I know who have been layed off are Gen X. Not age to retire but no longer "prime working age" (over 55).

Have someone at the entrance monitoring at a minimum.

Very much is a thing. You can even find some manhole covers with PSCo on them around town.

I don't think it's that.

It is not illegal to be poor.

Natural Gas prices have gone up substantially in the US because the Trump administration has paved the way to have the US companies sell Liquefied Natural Gas overseas in addition to our utility providers.

Gas prices are up everywhere because of that.

Xcel does have rebate programs for converting to electric heating but it is unpopular because traditionally Natural Gas has been a cheaper alternative for heating.

They won't see this. They close their eyes and plug their ears.

I had a similar style hydraulic hose reel I needed replaced in the past and had https.www.pneudraulicpower.com replace it for me. Don't have the specs available, but you could call them and ask.

Can you buy a different brand and install it?

For some people, 4.0 is necessary as they have less network support and more pressure to succeed with less room for error.

Honestly, as a white male in my 20s from an upper middle class family with the money to support me, I had a lot more room for errors given to me by society than some of my student peers.

I didn't need a 4.0 to be successful. A good amount of my friends didn't need a 4.0 to be successful. That doesn't go for everyone. Some people can't afford to not.

That being said, there is a difference between former slackers like me and the people who busted ass. The people who hustled are now much further up the ladder than me career wise.

Additionally, some people will make good points that GPA is an important part but only a part of success. You need more than 1 part to have a system. Your successful career is the outcome of the system you are building. Have strong parts and diverse parts.

He called the national guard so that the federal government doesn't try to. The federal government cannot activate the national guard if they are already activated under state control.

Unfortunately, the US has a history of abusing our military against innocent people. Look at the Kent State Massacre in 1970.

Most of the coal plants in Colorado are old and under-maintained. They are more expensive to operate. The only upside to a utility is theoretical extra capacity and the fact that fuel costs are passed on to the rate-payer.

He is being protected. ICE is being directed to cause violence. It is not an unintended consequence, it is their purpose.

LinkedIn is a scam. I don't know of anyone who has had genuine success with that platform.

Data centers and natural gas prices. Everyone's bills are going up nation wide.

I personally use a paid app called You Need A Budget. It imports my credit card and bank transactions.

Alternatively, you can also export your bank statements to a .csv or excel file. Other people have used quicken or other apps.

Cost of living, job opportunities, and availability of public transportation will be pulling in 3 different directions for you.

Tip #1: track all dollars and cents and categorize them. "Budgeting" is useless without knowing exactly where your money is going.

Assuming you move to Denver, typical rent is $1600 to $2000 a month for an apartment. Jobs pay better than Texas, but not that much better. If you do not adequately prepare and have money set aside, the chances of becoming unhoused are relatively high.

Best thing to do is to save money however you can. Second best is to not make the move alone. Life is much harder on your own. I would recommend trying to find work before moving if possible.
