    Way back when there was an attempt to develop the economy of Molokai. after the plantations left and Molokai Ranch faded away, there was nothing there to pump money into the economy. People insisted on keeping Molokai “country”. As I recall, the community on Molokai records the one of the highest levels of social distress in the state. Drug abuse, poverty, etc. tragic.

      Exactly the same in Puerto Rico. Land needs to be sold and higher paying jobs need to be created or poverty will persists.

    Ask Walter Ritte what he thinks about this. During covid he told people don't come to Molokai we have no covid. Then one of the residents brings it back to the island. You want to stay country then don't complain about the inconveniences.

    If only there was a super ferry system that was ever considered, built, and not shot down by folks that didn't think anything beyond the tips of their surfboards.

      The issue is who will run the ferry system and who or whom will fund it.

    People in molokai need the health care and medicines to help them out...life line to health care should be an essential thing for the molokai residents. Flights are essential...put yourself in their shoes!!

    What if Mokulele just stops operating? Then what? How about building a clinic or hospital on the island and offer incentives for healthcare workers to go there.

    Molokai has been fighting against development forever, every Hawaiian comes out from behind every rock and protests development. Than they complain they dont have essential service, you cant have both.

      either Southwest would be operating flights half empty or they'd see a mass flow of tourists. I think Hawaiian Airlines would be better off applying for the federal subsidy as their name implies that they should be flying there.
