And Alaska too.

And don't forget the fact that a lot of people think the government is corrupt (which it basically is) :D

All governments, some more then others!

Your wellcome :-)

Come now I'm from the land of the French lol

I think at least the five most free nations in the world (which the U.S. isn't one of them) probably aren't corrupt at all.

I would say yes. Or at least corrupt politicians which is one in the same

Now I see why my reply is not working

were goin north.....the rush is on

I love it when I call it "Canadia" and people don't even notice ...

:)

LOL! At least Alaskan residents get an annual payout from the oil royalty fund. Back in 2014 it was $1884.00. Although, it's probably just enough to cover the extra high cost of groceries and other consumables.

Yeah, it pretty much just covers all the five-dollar gallons of milk that a family goes through in a year.
This past year, though, the oil royalty fund (officially called the Permanent Fund Dividend, or PFD) was just over two grand.

Heard on the news that they were thinking about cancelling that... True?

I don't think so. However, they aren't gonna give us more than $1000, which is still a lot, so we don't complain.

I once had a roommate who was from Alaska. We'd go to a party or some other social event, and I'd be his straight-man.

I would ask him, "What do you do in Alaska in the summer?"

He would answer, "If it falls on a weekend, we like to have a BBQ."

Sounds about right.

Sorry, I don't know the answer. From what I just read in an article the state will pay out more in tax credits than it will receive back in royalties this year. The tax credits go to the oil companies for business losses. I don't live in Alaska. :)

Ah... I didn't read your comment correctly and thought you were speaking as a native. Need more brain fluid... imgflip.com/i/13quwf

Come to southeast then. It's not that bad here.

I've probably just destroyed what little possibility of a sex life I had...

It's a JOKE, ladies. Please don't hurt me.

I mean its warmer over there and you have surfing.

Canada welcomes all Americans! In my province alone, there are over 200,000 Americans currently living here. Plenty of room! Canada has 36 million people compared to U.S. 350 million.

You're airless.

...people

Maybe you will be able to see Russia from you back porch. Wouldn't that be special?
