It’s a huge undertaking. If successful, it would be one of the largest land purchases in Hawaii, behind Larry Ellison’s nearly 90,000-acre acquisition on the island of Lanai.
How fucking sad that you can buy 90k acre for personal ownership. There is no reason any one person should own that much land.
It particularly infuriates me whenever I see someone claim that taxing billionaires would remove their incentive to participate in the economy. As though they’re going to say “if I work this year I’ll only be able to afford 40,000 acres, guess I’ll shut the company down”.

Fuck those lies
Capitalism claims to be about needs but it’s really just about the wants of the wealthy.
And the stupid that believe they will be equal at some point.
Especially in a small island chain.
