Jason Mamoa said it! So the message must be spread to the general public!

I would be pretty pissed as a business owner on Maui who isn’t affected by the fire. Maui officials aren’t going to bail the affected business out, and will just say get a SBA loan. But the name of the game is debt; so just let the entirety of Maui keep on going into debt. The winners are FHB and BOH, and the common folks are the losers again.

Matter time before rest of Maui gets bought out.

Throw it into the big pile of bad decisions made by Hawaii politicians.
