or ‘Billionaire Haole Builds Underground Apocalypse Bunker On Island Chain Where Locals Find It Increasingly Difficult To Stay’
This is colonialism
There are now more Native Hawaiians living outside of Hawaii than within the island chain. This is not because they’ve been desperate to leave; for many, it’s because they have little choice in the matter.
That sounds like a sweet deal for the security detail. They get to be stationed at Hawaii, and if the apocalypse should ever come, they can just refuse to let the client come inside. They’ve got the guns and presumably all the technical expertise to run the place without him. He’d just be one more mouth to feed at that point.
My wife has a friend who worked for a few years in Hawaii. It got old very quickly for her. You have limited things to do and places to go when you have time off, and anything much more than local beaches or tourist traps will likely require airfare to another island or the mainland. And the cost of living there is quite high since pretty much everything has to be shipped in. Great place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there…
