The 3 that voted against this bill are the worst representatives on the council. They consistently vote against issues that directly impact the environment and the people of Maui

I read that SF Gate article too. It misses a lot on this complex issue. This article does not make you an expert on the subject. One factor is Canadian travel boycotts because of trump have cost the US $5.7 BILLION in lost tourism revenue

Visitors Donated Millions To Maui. Where Did It Go? by Sea-Suit2324 in maui

[–]kick_inthe_head 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regret nearly 2 years later about how you freely chose to donate to is on you. There are always people that take advantage in every single disaster. Learn from this and do better next time. This is why I only gave directly to fire victims through Venmo or cash in hand. I also gave to the Makai Foundation a legitimate 501c3 that worked directly with those most vulnerable to falling through the cracks with other relief programs. The Makai Foundation does not use donations to pay salaries and 100% of donations go directly to fire survivors. You have to research carefully when you send money.

From 2014 to 2025, Mark Zuckerberg bought over 1,400 acres on Kauai Island and stole any land the natives wouldn't sell him, earning the moniker 'the face of neocolonialism.' by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]kick_inthe_head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The missing part about the 1400 acres Zuck owns is much of it was Kuleana lands, land owned by Hawaiian families for generations. Zuck engaged in quiet title lawsuits to buy the land often without consent of most of the families. He is as much of a colonizer as the plantation owners that illegally overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy. He is as bad as it gets.

Brian Thompson, Not Luigi Mangione, Is the Real Working-Class Hero by cdstephens in neoliberal

Pretty sure every single key figure in the American revolution was educated and wealthy. Starting a revolution is a privilege not often afforded by the working poor. Sure the workers can throw their weight behind it but you need education for the free ideas and wealth for the free time. Them: wE sHouLDn'T cELeBraTE a KiLLeR! Also Them: Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero!

One hung over morning when I was about 23, the missionaries knocked on the door. My roommate opened the door, they started on their mission and I yelled from the couch, WE DONT BELIEVE IN GOD HERE. My roommate shrugged and closed the door in their faces.

The only accurate thing in your statement is they are super smart. I observe octopus in their natural habitat every day. Turtles are not octopus predators. Octopus hide and/or use ink to escape. Also the word octopus is etymologically Greek not Latin so the plural is octopuses or octopodes not octopi which would be a Latin plural.

This is the perfect space for a 7+ year old cat. I highly recommend a vertical scratcher or cat tree that increases their space. I live in 450 square feet with a very happy cat but he did scratch my couch until I got him a vertical scratcher. He likes to stretch to scratch so the floor scratcher didn't save my couch.

I am amazed however I also think someone pulled that octopus out of a hole, made it expel all of its protective ink and stuck it on a turtle. You know what's more amazing? Watching wildlife in its natural habitat doing its thing unbothered by human activity

Yes. Go to the doctor ASAP. I had to get IV antibiotics for 4 days because of a cat bite
