Hawaii ranked worst state to make a living

[JohnDW]

I admire the Amish; they're smart, hard-working, frugal, and, above all disciplined. I wonder why they haven't started a colony here in Puna? Be that as it may, we do have UH School of Tropical Agriculture, and contrary to popular belief, many of the professionals there are not on the payroll of Monsanto, Syngenta, or Northrop-Grumman. Sure we could grow poi or breadfruit, but try and make a self-sustaining business of it. Farmers have families to support and few are willing to settle for a third world existence. It seems the majority of those among us who happily live in grass shacks and peddle around on a bicycles are adverse to endless toil, and have little in the way of business acumen. I sincerely hope that one day soon the enlightened ones will purchase a tract of arable land and teach us how to feed the people, while denying themselves the temptations of Babylon. Until then, I'll trade my dollars for groceries grown by the Filipino and Thai families who make it around here -- somehow .
