I'll be sympathetic to the complainers when they aren't hypocrites. My facebook feed is filled with people whining about tourism and covid when these same people recently traveled to the mainland for vacation.
I think this is true everywhere.Ironically, the woman pictured at the top of the Honolulu Star article is a transplant from Canada. On Maui, the transplants seem to be the most vocal.
+1why is someone not sitting down with these legends and a video camera, and just letting you talk story.
a documentary of sorts, like malcolm gault williams website, only live story.

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN, FOR SHARING. MAY JUST SEEM LIKE THE PAST TO YOU, BUT IT'S THE STUFF THAT LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF WAVE RIDING.
Same here. I get the frustration, but tourism is a huge part of our economy. The calls should be to manage it better, but look, right now, the awesome tourists we want from Japan etc aren’t coming to the US at all because let’s face it, this is where you come to get COVID. We handled it wrong. Now we’re stuck with dumb red state tourists who don’t spend but take up lots of resources.Ironically, the woman pictured at the top of the Honolulu Star article is a transplant from Canada.

Screenprint "Tongovaylohuh" on a local high school's football jersey, then messily scrawl "eh fkn haole" with a sharpie on the shoulder, and wipe your ass with it.Down the street: Chilis has a line and Whole Foods is empty.
It definitely feels like a different type of tourist right now.
Not the tourists we wanted (high end), but maybe the tourists we deserve.

A rare voice of wisdom on erbbwe had a year to figure this out
and we didn't
the solution everywhere in the US and maybe the world
is vaccines
although they may just be a temporary panacea depending on variants
our new condom (versus a mask)
it's too hard for the modern "connected" person to maintain a longview
everyone wants something now
tomorrow is someone else's problem
Appears to be a rather large contingent of anti-vaxxer people here on Maui. Going to be interesting when they report figures on the number and percentages of people who have received the vaccine here.Can't force people to take vaccines.
Tourism is 21% of economy, Military is around 19% (Washington Post, 2018), so maybe we could just go all in with military.So with less dependence on tourism Hawaii could go back to cane fields? Would probably have to work for next to nothing in order to be competitive. Maybe weed? Is it legal there yet?

Why doesn't one island just plunder the other islands like in the Olde Days?Tourism is 21% of economy, Military is around 19% (Washington Post, 2018), so maybe we could just go all in with military.
Personally, I never understood how they came up with these percentages. Does this account for retail spending, and how would certain markets be accounted for. Example: A "tourist" goes into a Town and Country surf shop, buys a board, accessories, and clothing. Is this accounted for as sales for the shop and resulting sales tax for the state as being generated by tourism? Furthermore, restaurant and fast food sales, differentiated as tourism generated or not? Food from markets, purchased by an employee of the tourism industry whose wages or tips come for employment in the tourism industry. State and County employees paid from the State budget based on tax revenues. If some of these revenue is generated by sales taxes, how do they know if it is taxes paid by a tourist or a resident? Not my field of expertise, but would like to know how they came up with these figures. Reminds me of a statistics class I took at UH. The first day of class, the Professor said that the thing with statistics is that they can be manipulated to say whatever you want, if you approach them correctly.Tourism is 21% of economy, Military is around 19% (Washington Post, 2018), so maybe we could just go all in with military.
Isn't Maui the favorite island for wacky California chicks who think crystals will heal them end up? Could explain it.Appears to be a rather large contingent of anti-vaxxer people here on Maui.
