Tease for my Alaskan Friends

I've posted pictures before on the price of groceries in Alaska as compared to outside. Well, this is a great example. Next time someone ask why groceries cost so much in Alaska, just remember. When they say it's the (freight) it just means that's the codeword for good old fashion American Greed

Disappointment Runs Deep

The Cost of Medical Care

The old squirrel is fit to be tied, he was looking at the bills and the cost of one Doctors appointment for the wife was $190.00 for a half an hour office visit.  This new Doctor had asked the wife how she was paying for her perscriptions because she has no insurance.    

The real question is now, how is she going to pay both at that rate.

Curiosity

Old Sam Magpie was curious he said

How can you guys bail out the rich old boys in the real estate and banking business along with the auto industry?  Yet I hear from the ravens down town that many of the food banks and soup kitchens supplying groceries for the poor are empty and needing donations.  This country has upside down priorities if you ask me.
