    Being as that 2% of cars currently on the road now are electric that is complete and utter bull $&/¥.

    I found a website where you bet on various political things. I won $3,700 this election cycle betting against moron libs. They paid for my new IPhone. I would LOVE to put some money down on 50% of the cars being electric in just nine years. That’s absurd. If anyone knows of a site that takes those kind of bets, let me know. I want in on that action.

    They probably get paid to live there. I can’t think of any other reason someone would live there.

    The only state I know of that supposedly will pay people to live there is Alaska. I'd live in Wyoming, it'd take some serious change to do it though, decent size ranches ain't cheap.

    I'd bet that they could have saved a really pretty penny in maintenance costs if they had never run I-80 over Elk Mtn... It should have followed US 30 through Medicine Bow.

    Very few, if any, neighbors... And cattle. Two pretty good reasons in my book.

    . In exchange for many things, including mineral rights on our private property, residents here get a dividend from a fund setup from oil royalties on state land. That fund has investments in stocks and real estate as well and has performed well over the decades. The formula is complicated on how it's paid out, but every resident gets the same amount. The amount we get doesn't cover the high cost of living here and I'd gladly give up my check in exchange for my mineral rights.

    You mean Alaska I assume, never really looked into it beyond hearing about it a few years ago.

    That’s got to be interesting when every drug addict/vagrant in Anchorage gets $2,000 at the same time.
