There are many people reading this forum and I would guess very few are connected to the telescope or university.
Perceived slights towards Hawaiian culture aren't helped by having someone who claims to speak on their behalf stating that what they really want is just more money to be extorted out of the project. The injection of millions of dollars into the economy isn't enough, apparently.
I see you also want a slice of the royalties of the non-existent space mining industry. Don't get your hopes up.
A lot of people (e.g. gypsy) seem to have trouble understanding this so let me restate it: astronomy costs money, it does not make money. There is no huge pie for anyone to demand a share of.
Hawaii does deserve this telescope, but a tiny minority of the people sure don't.
