Face reality here by the numbers, if you are staying in Alaska because of the PFD you are a fool. $1000 PFD after taxes is lets say $750 or so divided by 12 months in a year. You really think $62.50 a month on average is a lot of money ? That's 6 packs of cigarettes a month for you smokers, to put it in context. Most everyone I know chose to live here regardless of a PFD, and honestly stop using the "i'll starve without it " line. Im not justifying what the governor and the state house/senate has done but its funny to listen to all the people say they will die with $62.50 a month extra
