Stealing sand, stealing indigenous land in Hawaii for your private bunker, never paying taxes, getting away with rape... when you're rich, they let you do it.
Ooh, crossover moment!
The beachfront homeowners in Hawaii are notoriously parasite foreigners from the other 48 states, literal local crime bosses, or just old plantation money.
They buy up all these mansions and act like the beaches are their property, blocking public access easements and building illegal seawalls that accelerate beach erosion, and harassing groups of middle schoolers on conservation field trips. Because of course they don’t have jobs.
The beach is not theirs. In Hawaiian culture, beaches are sacred and for the people. This is enshrined in state law. ALL beach in the state is public property.
The state has (had) the most beautiful culture and environment I’ve ever seen in the world. And it’s well past ruined by colonization.
Hawaii is one of, if not the most, solidly Democrat state in the entire nation. I’m sure just one more election and they’ll get right to work!
John Oliver just did a segment on what billionaires are doing to Hawaii. That's why I brought it up.
Well, it’s either justice or a yacht, which would you pick?
