Big Island Organizations & Programs Losing Funding

[leilanidude]

I think Puna grocery stores are gonna take a big hit. In some ways, f*** them because they are ripping us all off, but another way to look at it is a massive amount of money is going to stop coming into our economy. Then grocery stores have to lay off people, then those people buy less, then other local businesses have fewer customers, etc etc. Same with healthcare, those employees, and what they put back into our economy. Same with education, etc etc. Project 2025's explicit goal is to get rid of any government involvement in healthcare, education, and social safety nets for working age folks, so say goodbye to EBT and MedQuest people. I think we're cooked.

Project 2025 does not explicitly call for eliminating all government involvement in healthcare, education, and social safety nets. Instead, the blueprint advocates for conservative reforms that would significantly reshape or scale back the federal government's role in these areas. These proposed changes would largely shift power and funding from the federal level to state and private entities. ChaptGPT version
