It would be more accurate to say that the general public does not know what
they would lose by shutting down GA.

If they shut down GA, most of the general public would have no idea why they
have no jobs, why they can't get their mail, why their doctor or lawyer or
CPA can no longer serve them, why their forests are burning down, why their
seafood suddenly has become more valuable than gold in the few places it is
still available, why children are suddenly dying of cancer, etc.

....why it's no longer possible to get checks returned in the statement
each month, why the rural economy in Alaska has collapsed, why the
organ transplant system has fractured or been destroyed, why there is
suddenly a shortage of pilots in the U.S...

I didn't mean low rent or low cost, just cheap. There are lots of those.

Cheap apartments in New York? There aren't any.

Dear Harry,
I am saddened to read that you are deluded in believing that the
federal government of the United States is actually concerned about
protecting the people of the United States.

Alas, the elected officials and bureaucrats are only concerned with
spending the peoples money on useless, high publicity value, contracts
that will get them political favors, campaign contributions and
reelected by the majority, stupid, uninformed electorate.

It's politics, not reality.

Think about it... how many politicians, bureaucrats government
employees went to jail for their failures to prevent 9-11 from
happening when they were sitting on the information that would have
prevented it?

They didn't care about protecting the American people, their only
concern was protecting their political turf and bureaucratic empires.

Agreed.

their

public
would just blame it on bad handling of "the economy," whatever that is.


Let's not forget crop dusters, aerial surveying, photography, pipeline
patrolling etc..
So there goes the cheap, plentiful food from agriculture, more fires and
less security.
Less tourism to some of the more inaccessible locales.
In addition, Alaska might as well be boarded up.

1949 was the coolest year to be born! You hit 18 in 1967; the "Summer Of
Love". You not only got to enjoy a changing world, you got to help build
it,
too.

Funny. I was 9 years old in '67, and the thing I remember most about those
times was the unrelenting bad news on TV, radio, and in the newspapers. It
was a terrifying time to be alive, unless you were stoned, I suppose.

Whether it was inner city rioting, or body bags coming home from Viet Nam,
those were certainly NOT the best of times.

Ten years later now, well, heh, heh, THOSE were good times!

Other than disco and polyester, of course... And high inflation. And Jimmy
Carter.

Forget it. The average person wouldn't understand the consequences of
shutting down oxygen.

Why UPS, DHL and FedEx will only deliver to areas close by the
major airports that can handle 737s & 757s.

No, no I remember it was a great time. At least I think it was. Wait a
minute, it's all a little hazy...
