The only good news in Hawaii is that the warning of a ballistic missile threat had been an error. Although government has a mandate to be transparent, in Hawaii that didn't seem to be the case. What was clear was that the powers that be in Hawaii were ready for a missile attack by a foreign entity. Here is the media coverage of that 37 minutes of hell between the issuance of the warning and the notice that the threat had never existed.

But here's a recent example of one state legislator who took a silencing move--her removal as minority leader in the Hawaii house of representatives--and turned it into a speech that let her have the last word. That's what happened to Hawaii State Rep. Republicans, who hold just a handful of seats in the Hawaii legislature, soon voted her out of her role as their minority leader.

Failure to comply with court order to produce the children in Idaho on January 30th, 2020. Those are just bits and pieces of the saga of Lori Vallow.

Hawaii will be experimenting with UBI. Once morally reprehensible to many Americans, the concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) seems to be making some sense. Who doesn't fear Artificial Intelligence or blockchain will take his or her job? UBI would fill in the financial gaps.    UBI can be configured in almost an infinite number of ways. But the commonality is that the funds given are strings-free.

In Hawaii, the powers that be had to get tough. The homeless cast a spell. And the dynamics of that voodoo can taint the tourist business. Cape Cod is no exception. The presence of the homeless who keep adding to the nest on the sidewalk can also taint a real-estate deal. No family wants to buy a coop in Manhattan or a house in Tucson, Arizona after observing that some homeless have staked out that territory.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary in Hawaii last week and went to the beach every day. To me, swimming in a warm ocean, unlike the cold San Francisco waters, is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We spent the majority of our time swimming, snorkeling, and body surfing. But we also had plenty of time for my other favorite beach activity—people-watching. That’s when I discovered the link between public speaking and playing with your kids.

  So far, Israel, Australia, Denmark and Hawaii have signed up.  Shai Agassi’s plan for electric, zero-emission vehicles makes so much sense and is such a radical departure from the old thinking on the subject of powering cars that I’m afraid it won’t get the hearing that it deserves.    People resist new ideas – truly new ideas – more fiercely than even obviously bad old ideas, and for a long, long time.

For those retiring today in Hawaii, for example, that will support them for about 12 years. Those aging  should be worried that what they put together as a retirement nest egg won't last long  - at least not long enough.    WalletHub's study found that even a $1 million won't do the trick. If they choose a retirement location with a lower cost of living, such as Mississippi, the funds could be enough for about 25  years of not working.
