Quick question, how come these so called liberal progressives politicians and political parties do absolutely nothing to help these people? I hear crickets when this question. I'm a minority myself and I'm sorry, im not going to be bamboozled by these people. Yes dole and others racked up a fortune from taking advantage of the people ao how come they aren't held accountable? How come the rich white people get away with murder but the poor ones get the hate? Its propaganda.

[@estebanrodz11]

In my opinion. I don't know if there's much similarity in what I'm going to say But. Puerto Rico is full of corrupt immoral politicians, which were bought by foreign investors who only care about their pockets and that's why we are where we are. Additionally, a doctrine has been created in children, youth and adults so that they do not see the common good and more personally. which creates a social crisis. And culturally our identity is lost. We already know how the case is Sixto George that the media works with the government to instill this creating a change of mind hating the culture and language in which you were born. This is what happens now and it happened in the past.

so true. There's a documentary about a small town that got invaded but old rich white people. They gentrified the whole frickin town. Workers couldn't afford to live in that town (on murican mainland). It was ridiculous. Some businesses had to expand on the property they were lucky enough to own so that the workers could have a place to live that they could afford. This generation has sucked up, consumed, and shat out most of the resources and opportunities their parents and grandparents worked hard for, and will leave next to nothing for future generations. For example, they'll get more than their SS while I only get 70% of what I put in. Their grandchildren will get even less. And the politicians, their generation, wants to give them more. They're worse than a plague of locusts.

Speaking of Native American people who have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population. * Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia. No wonder Mother Russia is so very huge. * By the way, the "land grab" is more of the same in the Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in the Asia-Pacific region. * Russia occupied vast resource rich Siberia to Far East ever since 17th & 18th century, while Anglo British, sailing halfway around the world from jolly old England, took over giant resourceful landmass of Australia & New Zealand in 18th & 19th century; all in Asia-Pacific, while Native people of Asia-Pacific region are left with and quarreling over a few tiny islands in South China Sea while Anglo Australia/New Zealand have already claimed big chunks of nearby Antarctica.

Hyperinflation so that the island becomes white. Same tactic Europeans play across the 3rd world and same tactic Israel applies in Palestine. Even within US, cities and towns where there is a large minority presence, hyperinflation exists, while US cities, states, or towns that are white are the least expensive but minorities cannot live there due to institutional racism and intimidation from population. In Los Angeles, I cannot lease a nice appartment without having a six figure salary as landowners make it more difficult, but I can buy almost a mansion compared to California housing standards in the MidWest and South with my savings and salary. However, the market and people will make it more difficult for me to obtain one because I am not American white. Banks and real state agents will more discriminatory.

Consecuencia: En este caso hay muy poca oferta de psicólogos en USA por lo tanto todos ganan en el proceso. Otro ejemplo: un extranjero llega a USA y con su capacidad logra tener éxito. Aprovecha la buena educación y recursos de becas que no había en sus país. Muchos hacen lo mismo hasta que tienen mayor poder adquisitivo llevando a los que vivieron por generaciones en un país a tener que mudarse a lugares más pobres de USA.

As a conservative American, I'm also a big advocate of pushing for "tribal lands" designation -- lands that will include sponsored residences and land-purchase opportunities -- that would be reserved for native Hawaiians who can trace their lineage back pre-statehood Hawaii. In fact, I would argue that much of the Hawaiian Islands should be tribal and allow the historic residents an ability to benefit from tourist dollars. No Hawaiian should be forced to move off-island because the state politicians have allowed the islands to be hijacked by tourists, rich new residents and filmmakers.

As a Native Hawaiian who got priced out I can say we will never get any land back. There is to much invested from all over into Hawaii. The best we can hope for is reparations or something monetary and even that is an almost impossible uphill battle.

To be honest, this happens everywhere. Many of the crazy home prices in the continental US are caused by giant institutional buyers like Redfin, who drove prices through the roof during the pandemic and are now dumping property in a manner completely unnatural to a normal housing market. There needs to be some extra regulation to stop these investors from ruining the housing market for all the people who actually have to live in them.

correct, this is not a hawaii problem, its all over the state specially with inflation now after the pandemic.. last year some companies baught over 300k houses to sell it for more, they were paying in cash and in many cases wouldnt even look at the house just buy and pay cash.. this hurts the regular folks who want to own a home and now cant get one because the pricess go up so much along with rent.. there is homeless people everywhere

I got married in Hawaii, most beautiful place i've ever been. The truth is, we couldn't even afford to vacation there again it's so expensive, so i'm not sure how people can afford the day to day life. The greatest part about Hawaii in my opinion, was the people. The Hawaiian islands are protected because of the people there, and their customs. It was painful for me as someone who isn't from there to see so much homelessness, because of how expensive things are now. Then I realized the same thing is happening all over the United States as well, anywhere that it is beautiful, and the sun is shining, people will take. The truth is, the beautiful parts of the world are being all bought up so millionaires, and billionaires can have another vacation home, and they don't care about the natives of Hawaii, or anyone else. One thing to note though, not all Americans are doing this too Hawaii, only the elites. Most Americans would gladly fight to preserve the Hawaiian way of life, again Hawaii is Hawaii because of it's people, not the corporations or uber elite. Hopefully you guys kick all the wealthy out, good luck. I hope they get 100% independence, I really do.
