Technically, Eric, it's likely that fish belongs to the people of the state of Alaska,.


You know, commonly owned resources and all, right?

...so let's talk about the other 98% of that fish's value, eh?

You giving up 2 cents on the dollar is about as bad a deal as we get from mineral extraction corporations.

Not a good deal for the State or it's residents.

(…and that fish will be worth five times what you sold it for soon, so our 2 cents is more like 2 cents on five dollars or more of value.)
