Safe Place

The Fascists have discovered that there is no way to keep the local economy afloat and maintain the bloated governmental operations without tourism. That is why a concerted effort is being made to completely open the floodgates of tourism by July 1st with as little local publicity as possible.

Curiously, the governor of Hawai’i announced that there would be no need to cut State budgets or impose layoffs and furloughs for employees. Two weeks ago, he said the exact opposite. The natural assumption is that there would be Federal assistance forthcoming, but the latter has been resisted by the political party in power.

So, where is the money going to come from? How is the 37% unemployment rate going to be reduced? What is going to save local businesses? The unequivocal answer is tourism, the only real industry in Hawai’i. That is why the machinations to restore the entire tourist sector surreptitiously is underway.

Once the momentum of tourism increases, the State will able to generate tax revenues and realize a significant decrease in payouts for unemployment benefits. Pension funds would stabilize. Local county and municipalities will also return to the status quo. The downside risk is the possibility of a real “super-duper corona” epidemic.

In previous discussions in Notes, the hypothetical scenarios of tourism with “social distancing” and the face mask mandate were discussed. The conclusion, of course, is that all “super-super corona” directives will become “lip service.” There will be no enforcement because the latter is undesirable and universally impossible. Even if arrivals are at half of the peak, there would be 105,000 visitors here within 7 days.

That’s exactly what’s going to happen after June 30th from what has been pieced together from the cryptic announcements of the Fascists. In all likelihood, “lockdown” will continue for residents and likely be enforced in order to “protect” them. Stay home, stay healthy.

All the while, Waikiki will pretty much be exempted. Even with just 105,000 tourists, the place will be jam-packed. Tourists are known to flout any rules, so compliance is a joke. Public transportation will be impacted with buses full of tourists and wage slaves. There are no HEPA filters on the buses. And, cloth face masks are useless when people are sitting and standing right next to each other.

As stated previously in Notes, the blatant double standard will become more than obvious even to the myriad mental midgets. They will become infuriated either because of the imagined possibility of death posed by tourists or that they were bamboozled all this time. What a “clusterfuck”! Social control will be necessary.

Addendum: Allegedly, there is a massive advertising campaign in the works that will tout Hawai’i as the “safe place,” presumably from “super-duper corona.” The campaign envisions rapid testing facilities installed at airports of origin and thermal scanners installed at Hawai’i airports.

Update: So far, over 50 of the 800+ prisoners who were released early, allegedly because of the fear of a “super-duper corona” surge, have been arrested again. By the end of June, there will be a total of 1,500 ex-convicts released. Yet, another “clusterfuck” situation.
