In Hawaii, dah “bruddahs” better get tired of beating up hapless haoles & turn their attention against the homeless invaders.

I was in New York city ten days prior to Christmas and got to view their homelessness problem.

The issue....which goes hand-in-hand with Hawaii....is that these people have ended up in a high-cost area where just handing them $5 won’t do much of anything. By the time you figure daily food requirements and the cost of living in each location....it makes no sense to stay there unless you can beg off $30 a day, which doesn’t even start to cover anything beyond food.

The real solution is take all of these high-cost homeless people and tell them to haul off to Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama...and rebuild their lives in a cheaper place.

I wonder how many states buy one-way-Hawaii tickets for their own homeless.

Exactly - if one must be homeless, that would be the perfect climate and look at all the bennies.....

Years ago you could not land in Hawaii without evidence of financial responsibility and/or a ticket of passage onward. Then the democrats took over.


The democrats have the reverse-midas touch. Everything they touch turns to feces.
