Respectfully: There are a lot of other ‘very nice places’, all of them without Climate Taxes.

None of the funds will be used for Hawaii.

They will go directly to the DNC

Last time I was in Hawaii was 1987. It was a dump then...

I took my family to the Big Island in 2014. Great trip.
When I was leaving, I complimented the island to the hotel clerk. She told me that if you want to make a lot of money, then Honolulu is the place to be. If you want to raise a family, the big Island is the place to be.

Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat

Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life

Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need more money or it gets severe

Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout ™

I think we should close Hawaii to all commercial non-military air traffic to protect the climate, let tourists, if they insist on going, take a boat. Let’s see how they like that.

I pass through the airport fairly often going to and from SE Asia doubt anyone is going to boycott the place that wanted to go there anyway most will figure it’s just another tax and could care less...

I’m not a lawyer but the interstate commerce act of 1887 or one of it’s amendments might not allow it.

That is kind of what I'm thinking as well.

“I’m not a lawyer but the interstate commerce act of 1887 or one of it’s amendments might not allow it.”

They can go to NY STATE, so maybe this wouldn’t be applicable. Just avoid the CITY.

"The Mathematics in the article do not make sense."

$25 x 9.5 million visitors =
$236,500,000
-100,000,000 Hawaii Democrat slush fund.
- 50,000,000 Local and state judges' bribes.
- 18,500,000 Accounting error
$ 68,000,000 Useless government agencies kickbacks.

Looks about right to me.

No offence taken. West Maui used to be nice. Fire finished Lahaina. Taxing a revenue source (tourists) will be counter productive. The bureaucrats will probably raise the tax before they figure it out if they ever do.
Ten Years After:
(paraphrase) Tax the rich. Feed the poor. ‘till there are no rich no more.
