So perhaps there needs to be a less commercial and more reasoned, compassionate approach. Why is it that EBT and/or tax dollars are a more acceptable solution?
Why aren't the local groups, from Hawaiian Homelands and all the various factions of sovereignty focused on actually taking care of people? Might it be more beneficial to help feed the less fortunate thru growing food rather that blocking roads? Might it be somewhat sensible if our federal, state, and county parks and other publicly owned land had an area set aside for production of food, be it a taro patch, banana grove, plot of potatoes, fish pond, chicken coop, etc. imagine if each and every park had even a small area set aside. And each plot have its own local group attend to its administration, not some taxpayer funded employee position. Why is it that the coconut trees along Bayfront have to be commercially maintained when the hundreds of coconuts could feed those willing to earn them. Why do we see tons of food rotting under trees?
Of course, the reasons why not range from all the health & safety laws etc to the philosophy that no one should be made to work against their will, but I say these are easily solvable problems. Done under the guise of sovereignty, existing rules and regulation could be bypassed, maybe even exceptions allowed. Each individual group administering an area would be free to identify its beneficiaries, that way if a group decides only contributors benefit while another says everyone shares regardless of contribution, each would serve its likeminded group.
Of course those on the commercial end would not be supportive, no county taxpayer funded Union positions, potential loss of grants and status, less spending in the commercial venues that have come to reply on it. Yea, lots of reasons why not only it won't work, but reasons why no one will even try.
I'll even bet that there are more PW comments why this can't/won't/shouldn't work vs comments on why it can/will/ should work.
Prove me wrong!!!
