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. ***

China might get that anyway, the way things are going. Would it surprise anyone to hear that Biden sells Hawaii to China? I just heard about some mystery corporation buying up everything around San Francisco, so it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
He won’t lose a wink of sleep as long as the majority of them were white.
What if elections are not really elections?
While doing a search on the subject, I came across this article from 2021, which discusses a book published that covers the problems with water rights on Maui...so the water rights issue was still a problem even in modern times.
Israel in FL or Arrendondo in Uvalde?
If somebody throws a tin can on his yard, the FBI will send 25 agents to investigate.
How does this asshat have a job? And J6 people do time for marching on the Capitol?
Cell.
This anomaly was common with the Paradise Fire. I don't believe the DEW conspiracy theories, but I've yet to read one reasonable explanation as to how this happens.
I was caught in the Bastrop fire in 2011. I've seen firsthand that yeah. Wildfires burn trees. Duh.
So how? How can one explain this...
doesn’t Japan and China pretty much own all of it anyway?
The Uvalde creep was the one that came to mind.
Total effeminacy.
“Have a word with Manual.”
Probably not just a word, but WORDS—or even SWORDS!
Equity: the equal sharing of MISERY!
He should be charged with over 100 counts of murder.
People, and everything they do is mere cannon fodder for the neo-Marxist mind. The 9th circle of hell awaits.
Someone grab some rope!
evidently Manuel thought it would be "equity" for whitey Howoulies to burn up in the wildfire

Are you referring to the moron who ran the Hawaii Department of Emergency Services of the Hindia-American council person in Seattle.
Oh, my mistake, my grandson just told me her late name is not Dipshit, it is Dikshit.
Anyone familiar with Mazie Hirono (US Sen HI ) would totally understand this insane way of thinking.
