Full disclosure: I’m a capitalist, I’m a conservative, I voted for Trump, and I see nothing wrong with being greedy. Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re saying, “Steven, greed is bad. What in the world are you talking about!” And I have to admit, you’re right. Greed is bad. […]

One of the most common questions I get from couples is, “Steve, which luau do locals go too?” There are three primary luaus on Oahu: The Polynesian Cultural Centers, Paradise Cove, and Germain’s Luau; and most locals don’t go to any of them. They either make their own […]

The State of Hawaii is a signature away from implementing a Climate Change tax. If passed, the hotel tax will be raised to 11%, and most likely this won't be the end - it never is. To make things worse, you're going to add a 4.75% General Excise tax, which literally taxes tax.
It's bullshit - and to all my future wedding couples, I truly apologize for our government.
The money will go towards curbing climate change, which let's face it, Hawaii is so tiny that no matter what we do - it can't curb climate change. Our active volcano contributes more Co2 than tourism. And they always use these funds in all areas of the budget. Climate Change is just an excuse. Our State already raised the GE Tax to pay for our rail, which isn't done. And they took that money to give themselves raises, and to pay for god knows what. The state also paid itself by raiding our Hurricane Fund. They are so corrupt.
Currently, our Governor is suing gas companies for the Lahaina fires, which is more bullshit. The fires were caused by our local government's decision to not manage dry brush. When you drive down all of our roads, you will notice that the government doesn't landscape - anything. We used to. Now they just let it go and use the surplus money to give themself raises, and to give the homeless money to be homeless.
Hawaii is still a beautiful place to visit.
But it's not the best place to live, and you can blame that on stupid people who are in high positions of power.
This state is screwed !! Josh green is an idiot and they keep miss managing everything !! Fail rail proven useless! Bring in doge!! Climate change lol. In Jakarta alone they burn thousands of pounds of Plastic a day just cooking tofu in one village, meanwhile they take away plastic straws and bags in USA ya that helps with what’s happening elsewhere !
Vote accordingly
So sorry to hear that Steve!!
Don't forget the stupid people who vote for these stupid people!
And to the very right, what looks like a flat rock, is our endangered Hawaiian monk Seal.
That's amazing.
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
