Just curious what the members thoughts are on what will happen socially, economically etc if Clinton wins.
Not worried about the test of the world just specifically AK.

Let the dung fly!

It'll be given to Iran as a peace offering for not developing nukes. Don't worry though, all residents will have a week to move their belongings.
 
Alaskans are pretty insulated.
Your taxes will go up a little to feed the grubby politicians. I doubt the oil industry will ... tank any worse than it is now. I'm no Hillary fan...but I doubt much will change.

Taxes?? What's that?

My biggest concern is US - Russian relations. We're the front line to the west. Our politicians have already stated that in good faith, they cannot support Donald Trump due to his locker room talk yet Alaska is pretty damn red.

Most folks I know are stocking up on ammo.
 
Since 2008 buying ammo in AK has been hell.

I don't think so. I haven't noticed any difficulty in finding ammo or reloading supplies in the past few years. We are back to the point where powder actually stays on the shelf though it's taken some time to recover.

However the elections have definitely made that hard at times.

.22LR? Never heard of it.

I got a couple thousand rounds of it . That's only because I bought it from someone that was leaving state. If anyone has some .280 AI ammo that they would like to trade for some.22LR ammo, I'm your man.

FYI. BassPro has been real good on the Winchester 22LR lately, always sitting on the gun counter. Also the Alaska Ammo Group, off Commercial Drive.

Nothing much probably. She's a pragmatic bog-standard politician with a lot of experience in government administration. The boat won't get rocked too much.

Eight years ago, the end of the world was right around the corner when Obama was elected. Eight years later, unemployment is down, gas is less than $2.50/GLN, the stock market has doubled in value, and you can still buy whatever gun you'd like. I mean, it's not like I had to eat my dog by candlelight.

I think that a lot of the political tensions in this country could be resolved if the rhetoric wasn't turned up to 11 for everything and anything. Not every congressional vote is the end of the world.
 
It's nice to read all this worry from people in Alaska. Try being a gun-owner in NYC. The closest rifle range is 2 hours away, it's open for four hours three days a week, and they only let you load one round at a time. The next closest is three hours each way--unless govenor Chris Christie shuts the George Washington bridge access points. Then it's five hours (this actually happened to me--and my car ran out of gas while stuck in the bumper to bumper traffic, so I had to find a gas station in one of the most crime-filled neighborhoods in the us while packing a .270). Then there's the $200 mark up simply to keep a gun in the city for more than three days. The 6-month background check and $500 to acquire a shotgun rifle license--which must be renewed every three years for another $300. The 200 round limit on all ammo in one's possession at any one time. The millions of regulations on how many and what kinds of locks one must have on the action when transporting firearms. The limit on how many guns can be registered per year, the number of rounds each clip can hold, the shape of the stock, etc. etc. And this is all for shotguns and rifles--we haven't even gotten started on handguns.

As I write this, I cannot help but appreciate the irony of the fact that all major gun and ammo manufacturers in the US are owned by NYC asset management corporations

But with millions of tense, tired, aggressive, overcrowded, and slightly crazy people living on top of each other, I wouldn't have it any other way.

People in Alaska will continue to be free as free can be.

This just reminded me of why I don't live in NYC. I can't remember exactly where New York City is located on the map but I'm thinking that it's right next door to nazi Germany. I feel for you man, but I sure am glad that there's over 8 million people that ❤️️ NYC.

It depends on who ends up the head of the DOI. I think Jewel will stay if Clinton is chosen as the shiniest of the several piles of poo voters have to pick from. The State is fortunate that the most recent oil fields being found will be outside the Mineral Management Service (forgot what they were changed to after the Gulf blow up), but will still have to go through the EA NEPA process. The EPA or DOT pipelines could throw a few kinks in there to slow down development.

The thing we should expect is more land issues with DOI or BIA. Natives are restless and BIA may have to expand back up here if the land trust concepts go through and ANLICA lands end up being allowed by the courts to be placed into trust.

Politically, the RINO senator and her side kick will fight Clinton on everything. The old dinosaur congress critter will fight anyone over anything at anytime. By 11/9 we may have a carpet bagger LINO senator replacing the RINO. Two young punks and a geezer well past his expiration date may be representing AK in DC. We will see how well things go with little to no seniority in the senate.
 
Thank everyone for their input. I have several theories of what will happen in NM and the southwest but don't have any local knowledge of Alaska politics.

I'd like to think little will change but then again her husband did get some big changes made while he was in the Oval Office.

We are contemplating moving up there if I get a job. The uncertainty with the election adds one more level of concern for the future.
 
What is the feeling in the oil and gas industry if she wins?
Will it be suppressed for a lot longer due to increased regulations here keeping the oil coming mostly from abroad?
