40,000 foot observation: (while trying as hard as I can to keep it Puna/Hawaii)
Where are the normal posters who support the policies that allow ICE raids here in Hawaii, rounding up a handful of the "worst of the worst" as well as gazillions of innocent hard working undocumented immigrants as well as regular legal Hawaii residents and showing their support for this tariff policy as being as good of a policy?
Where are the normal posters who support the policies that cut SNAP benefits to 30ish plus percent of Hawaii residents and showing their support for this tariff policy as being as good of a policy?
Where are the normal posters who support the policies that cut Medicaid benefits to 30ish plus percent of Hawaii residents and showing their support for this tariff policy as being as good of a policy?
Where are the normal posters who support the policies that cut funding to science, medical and other research studies here in Hawaii and showing their support for this tariff policy as being as good of a policy?
Does anyone think they will see a penny of any tariff paid being refunded back to them now that these tariff policies have been ruled unconstitutional? FYI, the 40 ounce Great Value can of coffee at the Hilo WalMart was 15 bucks pre-tariff, 25 bucks post tariff. As of 5 minutes ago, it is still 25 bucks. Does anyone expect that 40 ounce can of coffee will ever go back to 15 bucks?
And does anyone believe they will EVER see Will's $20,000 pre-fab made in China home, now $30,000 with the added tariff EVER being made either in Hawaii or America for less?
Could it be that maybe people are starting to see that NONE of these policies really don't have THEIR own best interests at heart?
