Venmo is awful and has made too many things transactional.

Alaska has no broad based individual taxes.

No state sales tax. No state income tax. We pay every resident a check every year (probably around $1,000 this year).

The last ever First National Cup
Division 1 Hockey Alaska State Championships is today at 5pm at the Sully.

Kind of a cool piece of Alaska history. At least 6 out of 8 of the teams will cease to exist next year because we don't pay taxes.

Why are we voting to require CPR training while we're cutting the programs and teachers who'd teach it?

There's 936 north slope oil workers. To raise $1 bn they'd need to pay $1.068 million each on taxes on their $208k in average annual wages.

Bad Bunny was really good. Highlight of an incredibly boring game so far.

Every year we do nothing we implicitly agree to more pfd cuts and more spending cuts.

How do other states pay for services?

Taxes - typically a sales or income tax.

Found out right before first period started that, due to seniority, I am first on the chopping block for this layoff cycle, and then a few hours later I was like β€œwhy am I so cranky today? Must be the moon” πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

I have spent 22 years building a robust specialized music program at my Anchorage middle school that will be destroyed when we move to a 6 period day. I’m devastated and demoralized.

It's important to incentivize work!

It's incredibly cynical to clutch your pearls and ask how we can ask Alaskans to pay taxes while cutting services for special education and blind kids.

The Burger King on NL by Spenard put in an arcade. They'll give you tokens if you buy food and it's all classic arcade games. If you've got kids to entertain
