The Matanuska Maid works the Great Alaskan Bush Company as her future becomes questionable. Or...

...Like Iacocca said,"Throw the bums out!" I mean the leaders, the board, whatever we call them. Any good corporation would have fired the likes of imbeciles like that for running their company into the ground a good time ago. Instead, the inefficient short sightedness of government came along for a bail out. Could have put the feelers out to find someone with vision, drive, ambition, and sheer GUTS. Whatever, I don't even want to hear any crappy woes about competition, there's diversification. This damned things not run like a commercial company it's run just like a government agency doing what they do best and losing money through dinosaur ideas and crybaby ethics.

On the other hand maybe the farmers should have seen some time ago when the problems about long term viability came questionable. Maybe they should put their own heads together before it was too late. Maybe they did, maybe they were, I don't know but when somethings not working force Fire up their asses and bring in some goodly wrinkled brains. It's your government! Bitch at them for running it wrong, They took it over they took the reponsibility! You had to have seen it long before it hit the headlines to the rest of us. Ever stand in a tunnel and look at the pretty light get closer and closer? It's not the other end, its not a miracle, It's a fuckin' Train!!!!

Well, I guess that if this doesn't get resolved before too long then the cattle will go to slaughter and we'll have a bunch more nice subdivisions and the farmers will come out retiring nicely anyway after the bankruptcy. They can sell the land piece by piece or to developers to subdivide and plant houses that all look like the same plastic shit with their fake green poison lawns of the lower 48 on the already cleared land instead of taking more wilderness. That way we can deal with the oil products runoff from the cars and lawnmowers into our streams instead of cattle feces. We're getting pretty good at the oil related pollution problems now.
Oh wait a minute there is that nagging Lower Kenai river and Big lake issue isn't there.

I'm not through ranting or researching this so I'll get back to it if I find out whether I really care or not.

I wonder what's the talk of this at Talkeetna's West Rib cafe and pub? Maybe it's nearing time for another little jaunt up the Parks.
