Insult to injury: The Maui Wildfire

[Easy-X]

No surprise that people are trying to make political capital out of the tragedy. The most overt is drone footage of all the untouched houses of the elites vs. the literally burnt to the ground ashes of the poors. "The rich just want the islands all to themselves!" Kewl story, bro, but where are all the maids, cooks and gardeners gonna live now?

However I did see some footage a guy shot of the aftermath and TBH I wasn't paying attention till the commentary turned to "...and my wife has nothing to do with this. I've given the rest of the footage to a friend who lives far away in an undisclosed location. They also have all my social media passwords in case anything happens to me..." what an odd thing to say! Good way to farm clicks though

I find the vitriol against tourists quite unacceptable. Up till this point tourists are the life blood of the island, but now they are scum for wanting to finish their holidays.

If I spent a few grand I'd want to finish my holiday.

Apparently the Maui government are doing a big land grab of all the damaged, burnt properties. They aren't allowing the land owners to sell to outsiders who will give them a good price, but will leave it until the local government can get the properties for cents on the dollar instead of the premium rates that could be got now. I suspect some shenanigans are afoot.
