Just like being in Austria and Germany being in Hawaii on the islands gives me an entirely different perspective than living in California

In Austria I learned that I felt better eating Austrian Food than American Food generally speaking. Why is this? Because food in the U.S. is ONLY mostly about profit and not about health so much. Whereas in Austria everything is much more about staying healthy so when you eat food there generally you feel better than you do with most food in the U.S. (However, there are exceptions to this) if you ONLY buy organic food in places like Whole Foods) you could have a similar experience to most regular food grown in Austria or Germany.

Here in Hawaii I'm much more aware of how local Hawaiians are suffering who are trying to make a living here. I recently quoted something about how one cannot really live her in Hawaii on even $3000 a month (even if you are a single person) you would be hard pressed to try to do this unless maybe if you live in your car or van or something and this is often frowned upon. But, many locals try to find places where they won't be hassled to do this. However, I'm not sure how safe this would be for many different reasons here on the islands.

So, mostly I have been very aware of how much local more native Hawaiians are suffering economically. Much more than before when I was here. However, it's true I haven't been here in two years and wasn't necessarily thinking about things in this way then either.

So, Austria and Germany seemed more prosperous and Hawaiian locals seem to be doing worse and Worse especially under Trump's economic disaster for average people everywhere.

The problem with living on an island is that if you don't bring whatever you want to this island it isn't here usually. 

You are basically the furthest away from civilization that you might possibly be in the Hawaiian Islands (look on a map and tell me I'm wrong).

But, it's very expensive to live here too even though it is one of the 50 states. It's even more expensive than living in California or a few other states with a whole lot of millionaires and billionaires.

However, many of these rich Americans are here in droves too. However, it is the local poor trying to not be forced onto the mainland to economically survive and really struggling that I notice the most. 

You can see how much they are struggling by the looks on their faces and their body language.
