I was on Maui in March. Lots of locals at the airport perimeter asking arriving tourists to turn around. Glad I was leaving, not arriving.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

In March there was still a slim chance the Rona lockdown wasnt a hoax.HHusky said:

I was on Oahu in June. Engaged with plenty of locals while “quarantining” they were sick of the lockdown then.

It’s tough for Hawaii but I can at least somewhat understand their position given that they are geographically isolated they can effectively insulate themselves from COVID
The tourism angle was fucked whether they shut it down or not so whatever -

I'm rational. Everyone says so. I have the most rational brain the world has ever seen. My doctor, the best doctor, took a look at my brain. He said this is a great brain, tremendous even. Very rational thoughts come from this brain.HHusky said:

You, on the other hand, are a fucking disgrace to humanity and haven't had a rational thought since Trump was elected. -

People aren’t lining up to fly ... and they certainly aren’t lining up to fly to places where typical activities when there aren’t on the table
In this case, the decision for Hawaii was effectively to isolate allowing the rest of the economy to remain open or stay open and operate at limited capacity levels
I don’t know the numbers but I can understand the logic ... and they are a unique example -
There is no economy in Hawaii besides tourism and the military. Hth. They couldve socially distanced in the restaurants/bars and left the beaches open of people maintained distance. I have family that was going to go last month that said fuck it when the restrictions werent eased.Tequilla said:

Instead the Dems fucked everyone over as usual.
A ton of people would love nothing more right now than to be at the beach in Hawaii after all this shit. Htfh -

And despite a valiant effort, they got it anyway. I have family there, they’re hurting. Thankfully, a few of them work for the feds.Tequilla said:

I can understand the logic ... no clue how well it is working or not in terms of prevention
I’ve also said from the beginning the economic, social, etc fallout from this is going to be as bad or worse than COVID -
I think you'd be hard pressed to find any group of people you interact with that aren't happier to see you leaving than arriving.HHusky said:

I got zingers for days. -
I know exactly which island she’s on and she’s right that it is economic suicide and for what? Yes, Kauai has limited medical facilities but there are ways to limit the spread without killing the economy.
I recently talked to a guy on Kauai who is loving the isolation mostly because he’s well off and still producing income. He’s not a native Hawaiian but a transplant. Meanwhile, I can think of a ton of native Hawaiians I know who aren’t working right now because there is no tourism.

Was supposed to go with 6 other families a month ago to Kapalua and stay at the Montage in 2 massive condos. Combined, we would have spent tens of thousands of dollars. Multiply this example by hundreds of thousands and you understand the billions Hawaii has lost in tourism due to the tyranny of extremely stupid and criminally corrupt state sponsors of terror like Hfag.

Unless there's some serious swinging going on....then that's cool.

Hawaii’s shutdown has cost me at least $36,000 in gross revenue and about $24,000 in net revenue.RoadTrip said:Was supposed to go with 6 other families a month ago to Kapalua and stay at the Montage in 2 massive condos.

The state collects 15% of my gross in taxes. Multiply this by 40 other vacation rental units in my building drawing similar numbers and you’ll see just the tax hit Hawaii is voluntarily taking. Now add in my housekeeper. She’s out anywhere between $220 and $550 in monthly income on my unit alone. She has 2 other units in the building plus others on the island. Just our building alone, she’s out $600-$1500 in monthly income.
Fuck these authoritarian draconian measures. -
It's a group which parties hard;-) The cabo trip was also cancelled. We've been saying fuck off to the social distancing BS the entire time. All of us are conservative and have none of us give a shit if we get a bad coldPurpleThrobber said:

They've owned it for a while now. They built a bottling facility in Portland and spent millions making it taste the same way it does at the Kona location.GrundleStiltzkin said:Speaking of,

I fucking love that place (Kona brewing, not Portland, dont twist)
The beer they sell retail actually kind of sucks but the craft brews they have in Kona are money -
