    Simple and straight up , the island is not for the island people anymore, it for the wealthy and tourists.

    No way in hell these Keynesian economists can actually believe wages out paced inflation. Especially in Hawaii, wtf?

    Its a bleak future for most people financially in Hawaii. Wages are not keeping up with true inflation especially considering the high cost of living. Only way is to own assets that make more money than inflation which are a few. Makes me sad to think about most local people will eventually migrate to cheaper places with more oppurtunity.

    I like how they blame the pandemic when it was actually government responses that caused all of this pain.

    As the population gets older and stops working, and there's a labor shortage because of people moving away, that also means that the people who are left can ask for raises/better wages and should be.

      I just cannot believe how on Maui they are blaming rental owners instead of the government for the lack of housing. If you continually protest that everything is sacred and not build, why is it the fault of those who survived?
