“Last week, I went off on the Legislature for House Bill 1636, which wanted businesses to pay $500 fines when their shopping carts are stolen and dumped. On Jan. 31, the House Committee on Economic Development and Technology held a hearing on the bill.
No one spoke in favor of it. It was opposed by Hawai‘i Food Industry Association, KTA Super Stores, and Retail Merchants of Hawai‘i.
It passed anyway, with seven ayes from Representatives Ilagan, Hussey, Holt, Tam, Templo, Yamashita and Gedeon.
Rep. Greggor Ilagan (D) seemed to be one of the bill's biggest champions, so on Feb. 2, I emailed his office to ask:
"If no one testified in favor, and the only people who participated in the democratic process spoke against the bill, what was the point of advancing it? Seems to me, and probably seems to my readers, like that should have been the end of it. Genuinely interested in hearing more about how this happened."
I've received no reply.”
What happened next shows the existential threat to Hawaii these totalitarians have become - blows your mind

Worse still, this bill exists because these same lawmakers, who have failed to maintain any kind of law and order, know full well they will never recover from the homeless the cost of clearing out their stolen carts. The homeless don't have money.
But the businesses do.”FASCISTS!
