My point was--Sports Authority has to deal with reality---real dollars and cents .  Many Alaskan's don't think oil companies have to deal with reality .  They think they shouldn't stop drilling or laying off people even though the low price of oil say's they must. On top of that , as oil companies are losing money , democrats want to tax them even more .  With oil prices this low the state could seize all the oil and keep all the money and it still wouldn't be enough.
