Three cities in Colorado — a state whose fortunes have been tied to the boom and bust of oil, gas and other commodities — are among the top 10 leading destinations for the nation's best and brightest as old cow and mining towns morph into technology hubs, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Boulder, the small college town located just north of Colorado's capital, is ranked No. 1 nationally in the Bloomberg Brain Concentration Index, which tracks business formation as well as employment and education in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. Fort Collins and Denver follow at No. 4 and No. 10, respectively.
Are the best and brightest taking up skiing, or seeking higher ground amid rising sea levels?

People mark this funny but it's not. These vermin move into a peaceful, balanced community in the Pacific NW and then begin to implement the same insane, ignorant laws and policies that ruined the last place they lived. They are so completely clueless they do not understand THEY are what is wrong. They are secure in their belief that they know what's best for this new community though. Having tested and proven their ideas are complete ignorant bullshit, they look everywhere else but themselves to place blame. Their idiocy ruined the last place. It ruins the new place. Yet they are bewildered and unable to understand.
Californians, please fuck off to the east coast. No one likes you here.
