"we'll let the Big Island suffer, but defend the others at all costs"
Exactly -- just look at State's response to the rhino beetle (discovered on Oahu), to say nothing of the TAT "redistribution", Federally-funded "interstate" highways (only on Oahu), Federally-subsidized rail transit (only on Oahu), customs terminal for international flights (only on Oahu), etc.
Lucky enough to have health insurance, but need to see a specialist? Fly to Oahu... your 15-minute appointment will take you all day, but that's okay, you weren't busy...
I freely grant that Oahu has most of the population, but they seem to also have all the money, not just their "fair share" 80%.
