The Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) is an officially furnished fund, which administers the profits from the local oil production of Alaska.

A state-wide referendum held in Alaska created the Alaska Permanent Fund in 1976 as a state fund to govern revenue from oil extracted in Alaska. Prior to the creation of the fund, the US government was accused of embezzling the revenues from traded oil. Currently, the fund receives 25% of the revenues earned from its trade. Whereas, half of the revenues are distributed to the population of Alaska to compensate them for the high cost of living. The compensation is distributed equally to all citizens of Alaska. They are free to spend their share on anything they desire. This sum may vary yearly. It depends on profits within the last five years and the amount of people living in the state at the time.

Citizens of Alaska who have previously been convicted of a crime are not eligible to receive this compensation. Applicants are required to have lived in Alaska for one calendar year prior to obtaining their share and must stipulate their intentions of living in the state. The money the citizens receive from this fund is considered taxable income.

I am absolutely convinced that all of humanity and mankind has been criminally harmed in some way or another. Mainly, the use of nuclear energy, which happens to be an economical way to satisfy our electric power needs, is also endangers the future inhabitants of this world who are completely being forgot about.

I am positive that manufacturing automobiles which require more than six liters of gasoline for every one-hundred kilometers should be considered a crime. It is also a crime to ignore the effects of a climatic catastrophe, which will affect generations to come.

Unfortunately, the overrated commercial economy is not capable of taking responsibility for numerous times it has lead the world to economical instability. Therefore, it is necessary to instill strict laws, failure to do so is a crime in itself. It is unlawful to solve financial problems by imposing taxes on society’s poorer citizens. As for the unstable capitalistic system, it is not worth trying to defend it, for capitalism is the reason for many financial problems experienced in the world.

This statement is not to be mistaken as praise for socialism, nor for communism, nor an irrational bashing of capitalism, capital is necessary, because money is an irreplaceable means of exchange. However, we cannot allow for capital to become more important than democracy or human beings, this would be as if suddenly the sun would start spinning around Earth. But thank God that this will never be the case, and no manipulative world organization will make this an objective. For these reasons, gluttonous criminals should be forbidden from pursuing their menacing intentions.
