Oh, good, so not only will I pay SDGE the most in the country for electricity, but I’ll also have to pay Nestle, the most in the country for water too?
How exactly do you “support your family” and “walk off the job”? I don’t see anyone lining up to make sure people affected by the fire (not tourists that might miss out on a vacation) are doing well, or have an income, food, homes, their businesses back, or their lives back. Yeah, there are some charities that are helping, but that’s not the same. As the article states, it’s a double edged sword, but not tripping over snorkeling tourists, or having to go perform for a group of tourists would definitely make the shit residents are going through a lot easier.
I get it, Hawaii, like many other places, are built largely on tourism, but people need to have a little bit more self awareness and respect for other human beings.
I’m in complete agreement. This is America though where you can pretty much count on the federal government to make it worse, or at least sting a lot more.
Honestly, every time San Diego has had a natural disaster, people here have by and large react the way you describe. In my experience Hawaiian residents are the same.
