The Anchorage Daily News is the propaganda arm of the democrats in Alaska. It is not to be trusted.
The ADN is the anti-Alaska propaganda rag, Anchorage is the the coffee house liberal haven or gays and liberals in Alaska.
I could be working right now instead of being laid off if I were to commute the 50 miles into Anchorage but I hate that town, last time I was there it was driving a concrete mixer back in october and at every major traffic stop in the busy rush hour traffic downtown there were dozens of panhandlers rushing out to the cars begging for money, and they were all working age men in their 20’s I would say, most likely fools that managed to get to Alaska and found out how hard it can be to get a job in the winter.
No way am I going to work in Anchorage unless its a job requiring me to wear body armor and firearms.
And now I get this little notice in the mail from the Alaska Employment Benefits office, they want me to be “oriented” to a new career because they do not like paying me for several months when I’m off season.
In other words its the norm to be NOT working for several months in some trades, me I drive a concrete mixer.
I guess they want to re-educate me to be a Walmart greeter.
So I expect they will demand I drive over 100 miles per day RT to commute to a job that probably pays less in weather conditions that I should remind people, ITS ALASKA-—HELLO
Here I am, 52 with a good work history background, I’m thinking about just doing an early retirement and opening a small word of mouth business as a gunsmith at home off the books.
