    We want to go to Hawaii (Maui? Kauai? Not sure) in December....I see the 14 day quarantine is supposed to be lifted tomorrow so hopefully we can make plans to go.

    Unless restaurants and all that are shut down...not really sure how it all is working there

    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.

    Hawaii’s shutdown has cost me at least $36,000 in gross revenue and about $24,000 in net revenue.

    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.
    Don't go introducing logic and real math examples. You'll make @HHusky blow a fuse trying to understand how that adds up in social justice warrior points.

    I think you should stay safe and stay home and monitor that left side of your chest

    As an aside, there's some nice Hawaiian porn out there on the interwebs if you all get stuck at home.

    Easy. Math and logic are tools of white supremacy. Therefore you are a bigot and automatically lose the argument

    Montage? You sound rich.
    Yeah it's nice but it's the location we all love. The old Bay Hotel used to sit there. Merriman's is an awesome restaurant and if you don't want to spend a ton of money just sit on their deck on the ocean at sunset, order drinks and hors d oeuvres and you're set. Obviously you have the Bay and Plantation courses and the beaches are amazing. The Golf Villas right on the ocean are a really good way to do Kapalua as well and are considerably less than the Montage and I assume the Ritz which I've never stayed at.

    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

    Disagree. There was a way to allow tourism and they fucked it up. Big time
    Disagree

    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
    Yesterday I quoted the bold part and said strong disagree.

    Here’s evidence of why. Hawaii opens up to tourists tomorrow by dropping the 14-day self quarantine. They were suppose to open August 1st, then September 1st, then October 1st but couldn’t get their shit together.

    At every announcement of reopening, I had 3-5 bookings for that month.

    People are cooped up and sick of it. There are people who will line up to fly somewhere even if not all the typical activities are open.

    Hawaii is a complete shit show of communist think.

    I'm a retired cop HR218 says I can carry a gun in all 50 states. Hawaii has been arresting cops saying they don't recognize the FEDERAL law. Fuck 'em/

    NY not much better. If you have a gun in your bag the police meet you at your bag. If you're paper work is in order. Perfect order. you're OK. I guess the federal law of being able to travel with firearms doesn't apply in NY.

    It’s a great spot. I’ve spent a lotta time on Kapalua Bay Beach and have rented old people condos just past the Montage.
