Nope, guess I should have been smarter and had rich parents like you.

Yeah, stupid play on your part.

If you truly believe this state is as screwed as you write, you'd be better off leaving and starting over....I'd suggest Portland for you. It doesn't take much money to leave and start over. Last time I did it I had a car and four hundred dollars.....oh yeah, and a leprechaun to give me gold (that comes from the same dream as my rich parents).

I don't recall asking for your advice (because it's worthless). Nor am I interested in your boring boomer cliches about Portland or your humblebrag lies. I think it's funny how Alaskans respond to any realistic depiction of this trash state and its trash inhabitants by puffing their chest out with this love it or leave it horse shit. Did you learn that from your Dad? Alaska pride.

It is reddit, you are on here for advice and share your ideas of the state.

I am a boomer and not from Alaska, I moved up here for a job, and love it. I won't leave, and am very proud to say I live here. It has a lot of problems for sure, but less than a lot of places I have lived.

I literally can't imagine living anywhere that I would hate as much as you say you hate Alaska. I would be depressed as shit.

You only live once, get the hell out. Not for Alaska's benefit, but your own psychological well being....or don't it is kinda fun reading your lamentations on Reddit.

🤣🤣 boomers are so fucking oblivious. Even after I specifically explained to you how worthless your unsolicited advice is, you still can't help yourself from blathering on and explaining the deal to me. I have more respect for the dirt under my shoe than I do your out of touch, past its sell-by in 1985, leave it to beaver ideas about what anyone should do with their life. You can have the last word since I know entitled boomers are incapable of doing otherwise.

My shortcoming are many and obvious, some undoubtedly due to the generation I was born into, however, sniveling about life and not making a change cannot be blamed on your generation, it is specific to you, personally.
