Reply to comment by LoveArguingPolitics in Miami Beach Restaurateurs Say Spring Break Is Killing Business by JAlbert653

Hawaiians don't beg people not to visit. Tourism is one of our top sources of income. While you may have seen a couple viral posts from people telling tourists not to come the majority of us realize it's necessary for our economy and well being. Without tourism we would be a poor state relying on the military spending as our main source of income. Our tourists generally are decently well off given the cost of a flight out here.

True but what if the country they’d stolen they had invested in and made them a leader in something and not just tourism that kinda fucks them and not let them develop.

LOL, have you seen Hawaii? What sort of "development" do you reckon they missed out on? Hawaii has something around the 4th lowest poverty level among US states . Oh yeah, they got fucked all right .

Hey look I'm just saying how i feel, I'm not trying to tell you how to feel, if you like how tourism is you're definitely well within your rights to feel that way.

Doesn't matter how I feel. Your statement is based on a few viral posts and not the sentiment of the vast majority.

Tells everyone how all the people of Hawaii feel, then proceeds to say they didn't tell you how to feel. LMAO.
