H311 would be too cool for Bammy AFAIC.
Most likely
If it weren’t for the cold I’d move to Alaska.
I stand with the spirit of Alaskans - I don’t want the government meddling in the affairs of the citizenry either. No wonder Sarah has such a can-do spirit of self-reliance and hard work. This country would do well under her leadership.
wonder how difficult it is to get in to the Alaska state bar association
O'Really would know better if he ever watched "Alaska State Troopers"............it gives me the impression that it's a state full of drunks and meth heads; and that's before we even get to the foibles of the eskimo population.
Oh give me a home
between Fairbanks and Nome
where the moose and the caribou play.
Where nothing will grow
cause its covered with snow
from June till the following May.Home, home on the snow
where its nice when its 40 below.
The tundra for me
by the great Bering Sea
and the life of an old sourdough.
Alaska would be the paradise of hardy individualism, excepting for the inconvenient “socialist” fact that its residents are per capita the largest recipients of federal expenditures of any state.

“O’Really would know better if he ever watched “Alaska State Troopers”............it gives me the impression that it’s a state full of drunks and meth heads; and that’s before we even get to the foibles of the eskimo population.”
You are judging Alaskans on the basis of a reality show whose entire premise is to show some of the situations and people that our Alaska State Troopers have to deal with? As an Alaskan, I find that insulting.
If it werent for the cold Id move to Alaska.”
For these folks though, the cold temps are of small consequence compared to what they would have to deal with if the temps were like California.
I remember when we were stationed at Fort Riley, KS during the 70s the weather report said it was warmer in Alaska that winter then it was in Kansas. Also I told my husband I wouldn’t mind living there, because I had heard from friends how beautiful it is. He didn’t want to hear about it
As a Kalifornian, we get used to it, and let our skins thicken up a bit.
I have never been to Alaska, but I also find it insulting, plus snobbish
I remember Fort Riley from when I was there in the ‘90’s. They are not fond memories either. I recall it being incredibly cold and the wind whipping with nothing to stop it. When I left I swore I would never set foot in Kansas again. To this day I haven’t!
The link says they count things like defense spending in their numbers. Probably park service and EPA, too. This isn’t really going to individuals.
They should probably restrict these kind of reports to welfare and safety net type programs that have to do with the government money supporting instead of personal income supporting
I wouldn’t include earned social security/Medicare, but I would include unearned+ssi+Medicaid, etc
Individuals work for federal parks, the EPA, and for the defense department. I don’t believe those Alaskan feds are the hardy individuals who live in cabins and harvest salmon or mine gold to make their living.
Those are real jobs, the military a constitutional one. The only charity taking place with our troops is when they give their blood for our freedom. And we can’t pay for that.
Pretty dark in the depths of the winter. That's more of an issue to me.
I was in Fairbanks in the Summer on a 100 deg. F day. It was HOT.
So how did this chilly political paradise end up voting for witless RINO Lisa Murkowski???
