Nothing to worry about! You apparently heard that new burger flipper jobs have brought the jobless rate down to 5.6%!!!! And, forget about the 400,000 employees who vanished. Word has it that they swallowed Obama pain pills.

CO got beat up after the .com crash and then again during real estate crash.
I fear this will hit NoCO hard.

Oh, sorry. Viagra was called the “little blue pill” in commercials years ago. God bless. Hopefully, four hour erections are not in my future. lol
