Hawaii official concerned with ‘equity’ delayed releasing water for more than 5 hours as wildfires raged: report

Access to water should be predicated on “conversations about equity,” according to the Hawaii official under fire for delaying access to water during the Maui wildfires.

M. Kaleo Manuel, former deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, waited for more than five hours to release water during the wildfires that devastated Maui, according to reports.

In a livestream debate hosted by the University of Hawaii last year, Manuel described water as a sacred god.

“Let water connect us and not divide us,” said Manuel, referring to water distribution on the island. “We can share it, but it requires true conversations about equity…How do we coexist with the resources we have?” A former Obama Foundation leader — part of a program by the former President’s non-profit to help participants with coaching and “practical skill building for social change” — Manuel said he considered water an important tool for social justice. *** Manuel was transferred to another position within the Department of Land and Natural Resources Wednesday, according to Honolulu Civil Beat, which first reported the story of the delay. ***

Next, they should transfer him to another position on the gallows.

The mere mention of the word “equity” identifies the speaker as struggling to reach a two digit IQ and should result in them being confined for further consultations on whether they are able to live independently.

“Diversity” and “Affirmative Action” kills. We said so 50+ years ago, and here it is killing people.

“Manuel was transferred to another position within the Department of Land and Natural Resources”

I’m sure it came with a promotion and a pay raise.

Right. And 10 minutes after that, Hawaii becomes the latest advance base for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy.

Ever open a history book - or look at a map?

Ever?

Its the key to control of the Pacific. China would have a huge naval base there within 5 years 6 months. Fixed.

“psychopath” or Democrat, there really isn’t much difference.
