text: Hang in there minority! Better to abolish everything to do with the Permanent Fund and plow the proceeds into preparing Alaska to deal with reality! I would love to consider serious public discourse that considers doing away with the fund and instead investing in developing infrastructure (more regional ports, airports, etc.) and services (less-centralization of acute and critical medical service hubs). Lets more-rationally socialize the distribution of benefits to Alaskans from this socialist program!!! Big Gubmint sucks, sure, but so too Big Money, and all kinds of nightmarish small forms of Small Gubmint and No Gubmint and Crooked Gubmint.
