When I read the ADN opinion page the day after the election I could have sworn I lived in Seattle.
What a bunch of lefty loons live in Anchorage.
I’m glad I’m isolated from there.
We are somewhat isolated up here too from everything, actually enjoy the road being closed half the year. What bothers me is even up here, we have almost half the community signed up for all the govt freebies. Seems like every Spring, a family moves in, working the system in any way that they can. I guess it goes on everywhere, but people here still remember when the first welfare queen came to town and how the disease seems to have spread with disability, energy assistance, food stamps, free medical & flights & motels for their shopping trips, and on and on and on. Depressing, but many people just ignore the scourge and live their lives how they were raised.
Eventually, 100 bucks won't buy a loaf of bread and it will all come to a stop. All ya can do is prepare for the future, get the supplies in while the dollar still has some value, and keep your eye on the import things, (family, spirituality, and freedom).
And yet, I have friends that can't even envision this future ever coming to pass, ha ha. Even in-laws that temper their humor with questions about moving here, ha.
No joke though, I've never experienced the freedom I have here anywheres else I have ever lived, staying put, minus 15 and all.
