#1 Not the Bee™? A real ambassador (or wealthy donor)?

#3 I suspect this post will have a 'staff' of young ladies and be only 'attached' to the artic stations. Ie, a getaway reward for someone to amuse themselves with young women while not doing anything and collecting a fat salary from the taxpayers.

#5  I suspect this post will have a 'staff' of [Nordic] young ladies...

That's pretty sexist, Brick. You know Ambassadors also enjoy boys, children of all genders and furrys.

#10 In the interest of providing our first Arctic Ambassador with useful information, even perhaps lifesaving, please pass the following to the candidates:
29 Cool Facts About Polar Bears That You Should Know
In addition, please do not use "yellow snow" for cooking, nor making your beverages, like coffee, tea, or reconstituted juices (no matter how superior you think it tastes).

#11 The Bi-Polar bears are the ones to really watch out for.

#12 "The new US ambassador will engage with the seven other Arctic nations - Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia - as well as indigenous groups and other stakeholders...."

I guess Russia and the other six aren't enough. But at least I can quit worrying about the baby seals.

#13 ^^^^ Now that guy knows what he is talking about, AA (Arctic Ambassador), he sounds like he has "experience" in these matters.

#14 Here are some of the other "native inhabitants" you may encounter during your tenure as the U.S.A.A. (no, not the insurance company) to these vast expanses of ice, snow and freezing Arctic waters... (don't know how the Penguins got into the picture, must be on vacation to the North, hmmm)

#15 Ambassador Salary in the United States

The average Ambassador salary in the United States is $180,841 as of July 26, 2022, but the salary range typically falls between $153,015 and $218,133. Salary ranges can vary widely depending on many important factors, including education, certifications, additional skills, the number of years you have spent in your profession. If an ambassador enters into the diplomatic core from the private sector and takes a pay cut by accepting the post, then the Foreign Service will try to match with the salary of the private sector.

#17  please do not use "yellow snow" for cooking,...

Speaking as your Health Advisor, I must point out that "yellow" snow contains more electrolytes than regular snow.
