Okay, I get the impact of both the Jones Act and the GET, but how does that translate into charging more for a service? I can see using Amazon for free shipping and no sales tax, but how does that make the cost of providing trims in this thread worth nearly twice what the OP felt was a fair asking price for his service?
How can one cry unfair when it comes to the price of local goods, circumvent patronizing local businesses and not pay taxes by buying from Amazon, and yet feel local labor is worth more because, "Everything costs more in Hawaii?" Just trying to understand the logic and I'm wondering... is it the prevailing attitude?
