Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

They hate tourists? I wonder how they would feel if their economy crumbled from no tourists.
Have you been to Hawaii lately?
The locals aren’t benefitting from tourism. They’re being exploited working minimum wage in tourist supporting jobs, living in much poorer conditions than the tourists on the resorts.
Their economy could use some scaling back and making it less of a tourist destination. But unfortunately we all know the resorts are just waiting until the instant they can start building on the land that just burned down.
Tourism isn't the reason housing is so expensive in Hawaii, it's because it's an extremely desirable place to live. Reducing tourism without changing anything else wouldn't help.
Yes, that's very true. However I'd argue that tourism perpetuates a lot of cycles of poverty on the island.
Reducing tourism very likely won't change anything, you're very right there, but it was a large contributor in bringing it to the point it's at now.
Stfu colonizer.
You don't have to like it but it's still reality. And what kind of insult is that? LMAO
Let's see ... chose rebuilding an important historical and cultural center of Native Hawaiians - and provide temporary shelter, food and money until the rebuild is complete - vs cater to rich assholes who own most of Hawaii or just want to visit, even tho 106 are confirmed dead with only 27% of the disaster area searched?
Choose people over economy every gd time.
Isn't that the sort of depency that would breed distrust and other negative feelings?
So it would seem...
