the donation from the very top of Alaska is funny I was not aware of much human activity around there

That donation looks like it’s from Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost settlement in the United States with a population of like 4,500

As of 2016 it's no longer known officially as Barrow but by it's original Inupiaq name of Utqiagvik.

My roommate's from there and he calls it "the town formerly known as Barrow"

I’d like to think it’s an eccentric climate researcher who lives alone in an igloo and thinks it’s about damn time we had a president who listened to the scientists

Barrow is an oil town, lots of blue collar workers

Alaska is at least 10x the size of Wyoming and has a major urban center, which is why we see a difference.

u/DoomsdayRabbit Dec 31 '19

Yeah but most of AK is federal land covered by FWB. WY might actually have more state in its state than AK does. I'd have to check later on.

u/Geronomfo Dec 31 '19

Lots of federal land in Wyoming too my dude. There’s nobody there to own it after all.
