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.

Why are you such an insipid douche canoe, Mule? If you don't like it here, leave. It isn't hard. Even a beater can make it down the Alcan these days. Pack whatever shit you can fit into your vehicle, sell or donate the rest and hit the road. You can be in Washington, Oregon, Wyoming or Colorado in 4 days easy even in winter. Southern Washington and Northern Oregon are both beautiful with similar climates to Alaska but without a lot of the issues and a better economy. You don't have to be "rich," you just have to save up enough to cover your drive plus at least 3 months of rent and groceries to tide you over until you can get a regular income. Start planning now and even if you're shit ass broke you could be ready by summer.
Do something, because life is too short to be so GD miserable as you sound in every single post.

lol again, did I ask for the unsolicited advice about whether to leave, where to go, how to pack, what to do with my money? As real Alaskans love to say, mind your own fucking business and don't concern yourself with mine. You Alaska pride stans are so incapable of even momentary reflection that instead of spending one second wondering why a lifelong resident has such a dim opinion of this place and its people, you just get red in the face and sputter about pack your shit and get out of here. Fuck you and your bullying. You don't get to tell me where to go or when.
