Ah yes, and the Heritage Foundation.
They and their funders want to turn Hawaii into a bolt hole
for the superwealthy.
(e.g.) See Larry Ellison. He bought a whole island.
Are you suggesting that the "spoils" should go to the loser? That would surely motivate a whole lot more ..... idleness, sloth, laziness and entitlement-mentatility! Get the picture?
If Hawaii is, is becoming, or has become, the reward for success, so be it. We need more success and less failure - especially the kind brought about by lack of effort.
Instead of resenting success (usually brought about by that nasty "E" word (Effort), you should emulate it, seek it, acquire it and be rewarded for it - even in Puna!!
