The folks who are working. Do you want to get taxed higher tax rates for someone else to sit around when they are able to work? What few companies are left in hawaii will leave. 

I'm not living in Hawaii (that would be nice) so I'm not sure how this would effect me. I also have no ideal what employment is available there. Is there a lack of jobs there? It is hard for me to decided if this is a good or bad thing due to not knowing that information.  

Being homeless in Hawaii I don't think would be as bad as being homeless in Michigan. It is too cold in Michigan to be homeless in the winter. No ideal why I toss that in. Sometimes I just type random thoughts.

Regardless of the 'opportunities' claimed, true or false, to be able to work,

the entitlement and welfare programs put in use in the USA for the last 75 years have destroyed much of society and many lives, and many families.   They are not set up at all in line with SCRIPTURE,  nor honoring YHWH in any way. (i.e. not His Way).

That is all fine and well but what if there are no paying jobs. Or maybe too many people and not enough jobs? Maybe not as many tourist  are going to Hawaii ? In other words, before I go off on a rant about people being on welfare I want to know more about what is going on in Hawaii. I'm going to go google stuff see what more I can find out on this.

Hawaii is an expensive state to live in. Medium house costs over 500k. Maybe thats why people need some free cash? idk

Yeah. I feel I am not getting the whole story from the article. If they have working people not being able to afford basic needs that is an issue.

Well Hawaii is a liberal state and some say Hawaii is way more liberal than other liberal states. It makes sense that they would do what liberals do ;which is nonsensical. lol

i.e. you will find that almost no state is working in line with the BIBLE.   Not for working people.  Not for unemployed people.  Not for living people.  etc etc etc

Okay after a very  fast google search as I am pressed for time because it is laundry/housework day for me. It seem many of the jobs in Hawaii are becoming  automated. Leaving people unable to be employed. This was just a fast search as I am sure there is more to the story. But many of your reactions to this  makes me wonder why Christians are so quick to judge people on welfare and complain about them taking your money. All I wanted was more info as to the reason why this was going on, and already many here are finding disagreement with me.   I will look into this more when I have more time. For now I remain neutral on the topic.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
