You can make $18.50 an hour working at McDonald'*. A Big Mac is $10.

A one bedroom apartment is $1,500 a month.

It'* a case of supply and demand. They just can't find enough warm bodies to spend all that fuel revenue on. Billions.

And 43000 square kilometers of what was once pristine wetlands is now destroyed beyond use or recognition. Disgusting.

a place so small in comparision to the rest of the area and so desolute that nobody would go anyway. and did you know the caribou population actually trives in this area because they use the pipes as shelter and a heat source.

From everyones warnings about the cold, it sounds like bodies don't stay warm for long
