So this one time I was at the post office. Federal law states you must leave all firearms outside of post office’s. So naturally I left my concealed carry pistol in my truck and went in. When I got there, there was only one other car in the parking lot (after hours, not busy) and I didn’t pay him any attention. So I get my mail, go through it and toss out the junk. While standing inside a Trooper pulls in next to the guy and climbs out and talks to him. I figure no big deal, maybe friends or whatnot. So I go walking out and head to my truck but the officer stepped towards me and said “excuse me sir I need you to stop right there.”I stop and think, oh joy what now, and cross my arms.So naturally I say “what can I do for you officer?”He says “this concerned citizen says he saw you carry a gun into this post office, and that is illegal sir.”The guy behind him leans out of his window and said “yeah, you criminal it’s illegal and I know the law!”The officer told him to calm down and let him handle it.First off, that guy would have to be STARING me all up and down to see my iwb holster (I have one on me and one in my truck, it’s an easier transfer than reseating a holster in public).So without uncrossing my arms I grab my shirt and lean to the side, lifting it up to reveal an empty holster as I say “yes officer I know it is illegal, I am a state CCW Permit holder and that is why my gun is in my truck, it is loaded, would you like to see it?”Man, the look he gave that guy tickled me pink.He glares at the guy and said, “So you lied to an officer. You didn’t (air quotes) ‘see his gun in his pants’ ? You can NOT be wasting our precious time like this. This man right here clearly knows the laws, and is sensible enough to not carry in designated no firearm zones. Since he has a permit, he was trained in the do’s and don’t’s of the state of Alaska. Whereas you just saw the sticker on the window and cried wolf. Stay out of other peoples business and go home.”Then he turned to me and said for safety’s sake he would like to check my firearm and permit for his logs.Absolutely not a problem, we talked guns for a good 20 minutes and we both waved when the guy left, and then he left.It was a great experience in the sense that it could have gone worse. But it was a reminder that people are watching, and stuff can definitely go wrong.This might not have been the answer you were looking for, but it’s a good one.***Update***After a lot of questions from people about having a firearm in my vehicle on Postal property, I triple checked the laws and spoke to a few firearms attorneys in the state of Alaska and all 3 confirmed that in the state of Alaska, as long as it is a locked vehicle, you can store your firearms in a vehicle. This applies to postal property, court, child care facilities, abuse centers, hospitals, state and local government, etc.As long as it is stored safely in a locked vehicle, it is nobody’s business but yours.

Socialism, at its core, is an economic philosophy of collective ownership of shared resources and collective management of the means of production.To give two modern examples of socialism from the same resource, each one applied in a different way, you can look at Iran and the US state of Alaska. Iran has state-controlled oil. In their case, it means the state is in control of the resource, its extraction and its sale. The proceeds go to the government, which then uses the money in lieu of taxes to pay for vital government-level needs. And the government, while overseen by conservative religious figures who have a veto over it, is otherwise democratically elected.Alaska, by contrast, does have state-controlled oil, but it leases out the extraction rights for a portion of the proceeds and is not otherwise involved in the sale of oil. Instead of the proceeds going to fund government, they are split up and sent to every resident of Alaska, each getting as much as the next.For all that these two examples both have democratically elected governments, and both practice socialism, they do not fit the model of democratic socialism. As a short explanation, which does not really fully explain it, democratic socialism uses the democratic process for politics, and economically it uses socialism to temper the worst excesses of capitalism and capitalism to temper the worst excesses of socialism. Democratically elected leaders come to a consensus of what works well, then try to ensure that citizens have access to that somehow. These include but are not limited to paid time off for new parents, to care for and bond with their baby; medical care for all; daycare for their child until old enough for school; high-quality public school for the child through the university level; robust public infrastructure and public service; and good retirement benefits. You do still have to figure out a job, what to eat and wear, your hobbies and your ideals. However, items that are not your fault are not treated as your fault, and all aid is no-fault.In the US we talk a lot about fault--deserving vs. undeserving poor come to mind. We do tons of means-testing, which is supposed to ensure that benefits only go to those who deserve it, but which in effect demean people looking for benefits and add an extra layer of administrative costs. While some programs might find cost-savings through major means testing, the demeaning part is real--and there are not always cost savings. Recently some states have instituted mandatory drug testing for welfare benefits, with people who test positive for illegal drugs losing benefits. This was billed as a cost saving measure. However, the testing cost more than the benefits they saved the state. Moreover, but not talked about particularly, it puts the lie to the myth that lots of people on Welfare use their benefits to get drugs instead of care for their families.Last thing to ponder: the Nordic model of democratic socialism, which is much lauded nowadays, got some of its inspiration (only some) from the US--various New Deal and Great Society programs helped bolster such programs abroad. They worked here. They worked well. And then we walked away in favor of individualistic greed.I don't mind people getting rich, but I do mind when they do it by specifically making other people poor to do it. That sentiment is possibly at the core of democratic socialism.

These are out-of-pocket costs for delivering a baby in a hospital.The sum is correct for Finland. It's the cost of overnight stays after a normal delivery. It may have been rounded down to the nearest $10 but it's close enough.The average price tag, out-of-pocket, for delivering a baby in a hospital in the USA is likely correct as well. It may have been rounded up to the nearest $1,000 but it’s proportionally close enough to be true too.The Finnish national health care costs are OECD average.Like most OECD countries, Finland has universal health care coverage. There are public and private service providers. You can take a private insurance in addition to the national health insurance, but most people are satisfied with standard care.The maternal care network originates from the 1920’s. Back then, maternal and infant mortality were much more common. These days we’re top of the world in those areas.Our per capita health expenditure is less than half of the American expenditure. Factors such as the average cost or standard of living, or the average standard of care provided are fairly comparable.They don’t explain the difference.List of countries by total health expenditure per capita - WikipediaMoreover, we spend less tax funds per capita on health care than Americans do.Let me rephrase that. Finnish citizens pay less taxes for health care and only a fraction of the out-of-pocket costs.Now for my take on it. What causes American spending to balloon like that?The population density does not explain this. I live in the seventh largest city in Finland. The population density in my province is the same as Oregon’s. The areas above the Arctic Circle here are only slightly more populous than the northern territories of Alaska.If Finland was a state in the USA, it would be quite average in most respects.Except for providing social insurance which entitles you toe.g. prenatal and postnatal care in hospitals (free/subsidized)e.g. services provided by family planning, maternal and child health clinics (free). There are 11–15 visits to the maternity clinic during a normal course of pregnancy. When the baby is born, the local child health clinic monitors the child's development until school age. The child is vaccinated in accordance with the national vaccination program.There aren’t major disparities in the standard of services between remote areas and cities. Or low income versus high income areas. We do however struggle with long distances too.Canada is quite vast but it has a single-payer system with universal access to care. The EU population is much larger than the American population but the independent states provide free or low-cost care at the point of use for all EU citizens.I’m not convinced that the USA cannot as much as it will not follow suit, but fine. What’s stopping individual states, then? Not enough autonomy to carry out cost structure reforms?The real issue seems to be that the current system is highly profitable for middle men such as private insurance providers or pharmaceutical companies between hospitals and people seeking care.The problem lies behind the outrageous out-of-pocket costs. Not taxes. That’s what Sanders’ message is about. This is but one example.The single-payer health care system is lean compared to the bureaucracy in the U.S. system:Hospital legal departments?We don’t have ‘em. One or two lawyers in the administration of a major central hospital is plenty.Hospital administrators whose sole job is to apply for funding?Don’t need ‘em.Hospital staff primarily for processing health insurance claims? Obsolete. You are covered.The right-wing parties work to keep the costs in the single-payer system down. They aren’t incentivized to inflate them for private gains and profit.There’s a huge disparity in numbers there. Right where it hurts.
