He'll probably be out of Congress after the election, but when the three of them are old and reflect back on their lives, I think Jones will have a much higher level of satisfaction and contentment.

(2,009 posts). . . and yet they keep voting in members of the Republican party, the party of climate-change deniers and members of the "oil-a-garchy." I guess the infrastructure development shows foresight on Murkowski's part, though: Alaskans are going to need good highways on which to flee from the fires when Alaska is ablaze on the same scale that Australia was in 20192020.
