Tourism as it exists today isn't the only way it could work. Pretending like i said no tourism ever then posting your unhinged rant when i said the current system doesn't work well is crazy.

You've gotta be a bot or a bad faith actor, you put this together super fast

You posted all that stuff about money troubles in Hawaii but that's all stuff that is happening under the current system. It's more a statement that tourism isn't bringing the financial relief it claims just like i said.

Because everything you posted about all happened under the current exploitative tourist system

>Just look at the Hawaiians begging people not to visit.

If it wasn't for tourism, Hawai'i would've spent the last 50 years impoverished like modern-day Puerto Rico, following the sugar collapse in the 1970s.

I don't see Hawai'ians complaining that they have public schools, or hospitals, or any of the other services that tourist dollars affords them. Tourists dump $18 billion cash into Hawai'i every year (except during Covid, obviously) - that's a lot more than Hawai'ians are putting back into slots at the Cal in downtown Vegas, it's quite the trade imbalance.

It's like the anti-tourism folks don't see the connection between this:

>“I think that it is too easy for people to visit places like Hawaii,” (Kyle Kajihiro, a lecturer at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa) said.

​

and this (all during Covid, when Hawai'ian tourism was massively reduced):

• Legislature cuts University of Hawaii-Manoa’s operating budget by nearly 14%
• Hawaii’s Budget Relies on Federal Relief Funds to Avoid Cuts
• The Battered State Budget Will Dominate The Next Hawaii Legislature: With money tight, lawmakers are looking to the Biden administration and Congress to help shore up a huge deficit as the 2021 session opens this week.
• Hawaii teachers union says layoffs still loom even with $123M less in cuts
• Hawaiian Airlines may lay off more than 800 employees
• Reduced hours, layoffs and furloughs resume in Hawaii tourism as federal safety net disappears
• Hawaiian Hilton Workers Fear Permanent Layoffs As Recall Rights Expiration Nears
• United Laundry Services to lay off over 800 workers
• Union: Hundreds of Hawaii airport workers to be laid off
• Under New Leadership, HART Purges Nearly Half Its Staff

If tourism is so bad for Hawai'i, why were they begging for money from haoles like Biden as soon as Covid cut off their tourism revenue? Could it be that ~20% of the state's entire GDP actually pays for some important things?

Serve breakfast and lunch. Get a few day drinkers and close by 6.

While I'm sorta with you here, I feel it should be noted that an "informant" is not an FBI employee. It's more like what we'd normally call a "snitch."

>Democrats not cleansing our institutions of Trump cult members is going to be the end of this nation.

What does "informant" mean for you exactly? Do you even know what that word means?

My cousins went to Fort Lauderdale this year. A group of 40 something’s and 2 teens. They will eat out 2 out of 3 meals. Have 1 or 2 high end cocktails and 3-4 will go back and chill by the pool while 5 stay and continue to drink $12 drinks, share a few appetizers, tip well then Uber home around midnight.

Who do you prefer frequenting your establishment?

It's much easier to blame things on "the Media", the GOP taught us all that

Number one: that's terror.

With the internet, I posit it's down to a second.

Fwiw the country is called Turkiye.

Kind of, because people tell us all how were so stupid and don't have any water but it's all because corporations and large agriculture have robbed and ruined our natural resources and we are locked in a death battle with them ...

People will be like shame on the people... Who collectively use 8% of all the water in the state...

You get sick of ignorant people telling you that you're life is stupid when it's not

He’s going to steal all their press coverage haha

Boo hoo. I've been some of the restaurants at Miami Beach, the prices are insane. $60 for Sysco pasta and a watered down drink for $20. They will be fine. Place is tourist trap in the winter anyways.

Nah man, Hawaiians LOVE tourists!

All kidding aside, if you're respectful enough to ask, you're probably a decent person and not the problem.

Well that’s not true. Diamonds have tons of uses in manufacturing. They’re no more special than any other tool though
