One can be both conservative and liberal, but we typically label such individuals as schizophrenics and lock them up in small rubber rooms.

I need those rubber walls in my cubicle. I need something to bounce off of on some days.

Well guess what...we are still paying $3.19 a gallon for regular unleaded here in Seward, Ak. What is it about Alaska, and Seward in particular, that we have to pay more than DOUBLE? We are on the highway system: it's not like they have to barge or fly the stuff in here. The oil comes from inside the state. And the refinery is in Nikiski...only about 100 miles away. No other product here is double of that in the south 48. (unless you happen to live in one of the villages, with no road access) Food and consumables might range 20% or so higher than Seattle, but nothing close to like double. I don't understand how they can justify the gas prices. Especially when the product is made right here. Just IMO, but I think we're being robbed....


Bud

No need to qualify it Bud with a IMO. If the Sluts in Washington werent in bed with the corporations the public would be able to maintain a sustainable lifestyle .
Since when have normal middle class hard workin folks been pressured to this degree?
All the insurance, SSI Mdicare, etc add up to 100 trillion$ (10 years out).
Wont see this on the sNEWS.....

Think your BS pension will not be one of the not effected? NOT.. If you dont have it NOW=== then prepare to be gutted, left with a few duck$ in a bank.

Living in Alaska is hard enough. Wasteland...........
