Hawaii's Logistics Problem

How Capitalism can kill a whole island

Perth?

Whole video is a lie. It's because land is expensive. Land is expensive in Hawaii because more people want to live there than there is land. Plain and simple. Try not to forget that 99% of the stuff you buy in the Wal-Mart in Cincinnati passes by Hawaii. I remember looking at property taxes in Manoa. Every crummy two bedroom rambler on my block was Building: 80k, Land: 875k.

Why did Wendover and Real life both recently release a video on Hawaii's logistics problems?

did he explainable wildfires ? Those fires were far from normal fires

I see famine in the future.

What a load of old rubbish.

There is nothing like American greed

IF the bearucrats and selfish corporates would open up Hawaii to accepts Goods/Groceries DIRECTLY from Asia or other parts of the world given Hawaii is 3000 miles closer to Asia/South East Asia than western seaboard cities. Price of goods, food, seafood, poultry, raw material, building materials, furnitures, vehicles would all cost so much less. But some corrupt laws required stuffs be clear in the mainland before shipping to Hawaii that add more shipping cost. Maybe things will change after Jan 2025 with better sound business

as a native hawaiian i love this video

As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii I want to thank you so much for making a video like this. It's important to spread the knowledge that you shared along with raising awareness of a state that isn't all "paradise". 🤙🏽

I like how you said the fires in Lahaina totally explainable. lol bullshit

"Self-sustaining" is... subjective.
Islands are particularly susceptible to famine - cycles of growth followed by warfare and cannibalism.
Only point: beware any descriptions of Hawaiian history as idyllic.

They just need to repeal the jones act. Boom. Problem solved.

I can't abide Hawaii. A big thumbs down from me.

That indigenous reference is dope. Let's get more of those, Wendover!

That’s why I keep a pantry stocked for that one “emergency” that will eventually happen, I even keep a bike at work because the freeways will be locked!

Tacoma Wa is also a hub and matson terminal

Honolulu is LA. on a barge.

RESTITUTION FOR HAWAIIAN BLOOD PEOPLE FOR THEIR LANDS BEING STOLEN!!

Good research and fair reporting.

I loved this! It was so well researched and produced! This was the info I was wondering about!

It wasn’t just America that wrecked the Hawaiian Islands.

Ten dollars for a gallon of milk?

Rich people problems....

GROUND NEWS = FAKE NEWS

In Cali 10.00 for milk cheap😂😂😂

Oahu will survive 5 days next natural disaster

Caise hawaii sucks, been electing the same way for 80 years

I remember the Maui disaster being covered very much by right leaning media…sounds like this channel is just another black rock pawn

I shopped there, it was expensive lol

Now imagine smaller islands where commercial freight won’t stop because it is lot worth it …

That’s my Safeway in Lahaina still standing after the fires. We grow bananas papayas mangoes tomatoes greens herbs fish deer chickens eggs citrus trees a sweet potato and trade give to and with others. We do without it’s not that hard considering what we have, but I live on a small farm by design.❤🤙🏽🙏🏽

That was a long explanation to say corruptions makes shipping logistics a problem.

For petes sake, hawaii is not a foreign country it's a state of the USA

Government is always the problem.

I grew up in Kailua drinking foremost milk and seeing Lani Moo going down Keiamoku St to Ala Moana. Always wondered what happened to her.

Companies owning multiple properties including those that own hundreds are the real issue.

If you think the costs to ship goods to Hawaii are high, take a look at inter Island shipping costs. In general, it's cheaper to ship an item from the west coast than to ship the same item inter-island.

If Honolulu Harbor is hit by a tsunami or hurricane, both Honolulu International Airport and Pearl Harbor will face similar disasters. They're too close together—less than a mile apart and at the same elevation. No one can consider either a safe haven.

What is with the music in this video? It's quite loud compared to the narration, and it's continually clipped, like it's been run through heavy compression or limiting - it sounds awful

reevaluate the policies forcing land use in islands for data centers... archipelagos need their mountains, good soil quality, biodiversity... now they are full of LANDSLIDES! archipelagos are not like US, China, AUS, Russia... put your data centers there... 😂😅😅😅

Hawaii should be independent!

Can’t you build a bridge?

Hawaiian soil is more fertile than California farms, all it take is political will to be self sufficient. Like the saying goes, if there’s a will, there’s a way.

Well done truth about Hawai'i. Except for a couple of things like ... how huge the corporate military complex is inter island, having taken over lots of land, as well as other destructions historically up to now. And the reason Hawai'i was illegally taken over is not just big biz but military logistics in the middle of the Pacific. Also the fact that historically the islands were always recognized as a sovereign nation, therefore, the US Corporation is still illegally occupying these islands ... something that Hawai'i Tourism Authority never wants visitors to know. And folks that move from the lower 48 either don't know about it or mostly just don't care about it. How these islands have been raped & pillaged historically and currently has been normalized ... also why so many local Hawaiians have to leave ... is the goal of the Oligarchs and their CIA henchmen ... think about why is it that native populations here and globally are getting reduced or just wiped out? Go down that huge rabbit hole of truth is extremely sobering ... just for starters.

Basically Hawaii is FUCKED because it's over populated and there is no true source to feed their own mouth. Pretty typical of any large city.

Been there once and will never go back , this just assures me that it will never change only worse
I encourage everyone to go to the Caribbean instead, much better and affordable

Thry need to change this!!! Costco's in Oahu have old and rotten produce. It's unacceptable!!!

This is why I left Hawaii back in 88 after the Tsunami alert. No where to go. If a Tsunami hits, millions will be dead, survivors will starve. Nice place to visit, can't live there.
