I'll get flak for this dissent, but here goes:
Some things should open every day. Park restrooms. Open 24 hours. One of the impacts Hawaii is having with homeless people, and I won't get into specifics, relates to restrooms being locked at night. That doesn't work.
Dump sites should be open 7 days a week, dawn to dusk. A few decades back, dumps were always open. Didn't have fences around them and didn't have guards.
Our modern society now has 101 reasons why we can't have open dumps. Perhaps some have merit.
But there is something to be said for the way it was before. By the way, the people who are dumping aren't just being A-holes. They are sending a message.

And sorry but this topic relates to Hawaii government employees having too many days off. Way too many days off, and on top of it, they're demonstrably lazy compared to private sector workers.
We should privatize rubbish collection (but still fund it with tax collections). If you can shop at Walmart 7 days a week 5 a.m. to midnight we ought to be able to dump rubbish 7 days a week.
