,http://www.HelpDaniel.ORG Make the SWITCH for Lahaina! http://www.SwitchForLahaina.com Blind Daniel Lahaina Fire Survivor Next time you think you are having a bad day, just remember this story you about to hear.... Imagine losing everything — first your vision, along with it your livelihood, you don't even have the memory of how it all happened and then your home goes up in flames. This is Daniel’s reality. A survivor of the tragic Lahaina fire that claimed countless homes, including his at the Front Street Apartments. Daniel’s life was also forever changed when he awoke in a hospital to discover that both his eyes had been forcibly removed in what we think was a hostile involuntary organ harvest. Can you even imagine someone taking both of your eyes? It's one thing to be born blind with a lifetime of training to cope with the disability. Losing it suddenly with no blind skills at the age of 40 while traveling 4600 miles from your home is unimaginable. Daniel is blind (he literally does not have any eyeballs) and is battling unimaginable pain, and now faces the terrifying possibility of losing his temporary FEMA housing in February and facing the world homeless. Daniel’s life is a testament to resilience. Before his blindness, he was a skilled artist and craftsman, celebrated for his wood carvings, surfboard shaping, photography, and poetry. He lived life with passion, scaling coconut palms as a sought-after arborist and weaving intricate designs that brought joy to those around him. But now, his world has turned completely dark—physically and emotionally. Despite this unimaginable hardship, Daniel refuses to give up. He’s taught himself how to navigate everyday life without sight, from cooking and cleaning to tending a small herb garden. With unyielding determination, he is working on creating a new path forward by weaving beautiful lampshades, hats, rugs, and even palm roses as a way to rebuild his life and inspire others. However, his challenges are overwhelming. The Lahaina fire left him with nothing but ashes. His temporary FEMA housing offers a fragile sense of stability, but it is set to expire in just a few months. Without financial support, Daniel risks becoming homeless while still adjusting to his new reality of blindness. Daniel is not asking for pity; he is asking for a chance to survive. He dreams of a future where he can not only sustain himself but also support other blind individuals who feel lost in their darkness. He even wants to send handcrafted items to anyone who donates—a small token of gratitude from a man who still finds ways to give, even when he has so little. So please share your best mailing address after giving. Your help can bring light back into Daniel’s life. Your one time or preferred monthy recurring donations will provide him with: Safe housing beyond February Specialized tools and resources for daily living as a blind person Materials to continue his weaving and build a sustainable income The stability to heal emotionally and spiritually Daniel’s faith in God remains unshaken. He believes in the kindness of strangers, and he trusts that his story will inspire compassion. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing his story to help reach others who can. Daniel has been through a storm of loss—first the blindness then the fire, and now the looming threat of homelessness. Together, we can show him that he is not alone. We can be the community that lifts him out of the darkness and helps him rebuild. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for being a beacon of hope in Daniel’s life. Donate today to help Daniel reclaim his future. Looking to Buy or Sell Real Estate on Maui?

,Link to Maui county planning commission meeting on June 25th ALL Day until 11PM Eastern and Hawaii Time until 6pm https://www.mauicounty.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/31999 https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:86e70cf6-b6f5-47ce-826b-80cd81d1baac Support https://mvra.net/ mailto:planning@mauicounty.gov Dear Maui Planning Commission Members, I write to oppose the proposed short-term rental ban and request that you recommend its rejection. The detrimental impact of this bill is clear and unsupported by evidence of meaningful benefit. Please consider the following: 1. **Economic Devastation**: An independent study by Kloninger & Sims estimates a $1.3 billion hit to Maui's economy, with the loss of 7,800 jobs and significant tax revenue reductions. An earlier study by economist Paul Brewbaker also highlighted severe economic consequences, including the loss of 14,126 jobs and $137 million in annual tax revenue. 2. **Legal and Reputational Risks**: The bill would likely lead to prolonged litigation against Maui County, harm Maui's reputation, and discourage tourism, all while negatively impacting residents. 3. **Inappropriate for Affordable Housing**: Short-term rental properties, such as those in condominium communities, are unsuitable for affordable housing due to high association dues, special assessments, and maintenance costs. For example, annual dues at Kapalua Ridge Villas range from $19,148 to $30,264, making them impractical for affordable housing. 4. **No Planning Benefit**: Established resort areas that contribute significantly to local taxes and have not converted local housing to short-term rentals should not be included in this ban. These areas, compliant and professionally managed for nearly 50 years, support many local jobs and businesses. 5. **Local Economic Support**: Our vacation rental owners support hundreds of local workers and businesses, from property management and maintenance to local artists and restaurants. The proposed bill threatens these jobs and the economic welfare of our community. For these reasons, we urge you to recommend rejecting the bill and ensure no short-term rental ban is applied to resort communities which play a critical role in supporting West Maui’s economy. Respectfully, https://mauicounty.webex.com/wbxmjs/joinservice/sites/mauicounty/meeting/download/093f133047af41619be4d917b89abf54?protocolUID=f58ae8e8729f0e7971a9848cc18d61cd Supporting Lahaina fire survivors has never been easier.

,This video is #sponsored by the City of Quincy. To discover more about Quincy, check out the link - https://discoverquincy.com While modern humans have existed for at least a few hundred thousands years, we didn’t really start massively progressing from our earliest ancestors until we began forming large and very complex societies after transitioning away from small hunter-gather groups for various reasons. Critical to all this being able to happen was creating sets of rules which members of each society agreed to live by. As John Wick’s Winston Scott so sagely stated, “Rules. Without them, we live with the animals.” While what specific laws these earliest agricultural societies functioned under has been largely lost to history outside of things we can infer from archaeological evidence, over the ensuing 10,000 years or so, humans have had a lot of ideas on what the best ways for societies to function are, and what sets of fundamental principles and laws to implement to get there. Perhaps not coincidentally, our biggest leaps in recent centuries came on the back of a major shift in such societal rules and government structure in many prominent nations- not only away from a system of hereditary elite who everyone and the system is meant to serve on some level, but also to systems where those who would abuse such power when given it are kept in check as much as possible and, in theory, those placed in power also are meant to serve the system and those very people who put them there, not wholly the other way around. Of course any system is rife for abuse, and, for example, the Soviet Union had just such a system setup which included in their latter two constitutions giving its citizens the rights of freedom of speech, the press, religion, and the right to assemble peacefully. In reality, however, if citizens used these constitutionally guaranteed freedoms in a way the authorities didn’t like, being imprisoned or even executed for it was a thing. Thus, even in clearly defined systems, if safeguards aren’t put in place to ensure these principles are enforced regardless of who is holding the positions of power, then the paper they are written on would perhaps more usefully be used to wipe one’s backside after doing their necessaries. Further, mobs are relatively easily swayed by exploiting facets of human psychology built into all of us. At all levels, while many may strive to be the ideal human and version of ourselves, we are all still human- subject to the same weaknesses, biases, and prejudices as those who came before us for tens of thousands of years. And even the most intelligent of us can be manipulated in various ways relatively easily, whether we like to admit it to ourselves or not. Thus, how an ideal society and government may function in theory, and one that can actually function well in the real world, are two VERY different things. Let alone forming a structure of government and laws that stands the test of time and provides some level of stability across many generations, with, unsurprisingly, the vast majority of constitutions going the way of the dodo within a decade or two of their establishment. Unsurprisingly from all this, forming effective and stable governments is extremely difficult, and I don’t think anyone would argue any government that exists today has yet reached the ultimate ideal for all. As the “Father of the U.S. Constitution”, James Madison, would sum up, “no Government of human device, & human administration can be perfect; [thus] that which is the least imperfect is therefore the best Govt.” But in the last several hundred years we humans have come a long way in this regard, and, perhaps not coincidentally, much like our progress starting 10,000 years ago or so through to relatively modern times made our progress the previous few hundred thousand years seem glacial, in the last few hundred years, humanity has advanced to a level in that timespan that makes our progress the previous 10,000 years seem at a snail’s pace. While countless things went into that, at its core many of these factors derive and were the indirect product of these more modern structures for civilization that allow extra freedoms, education, and relative stability for its populaces’ to prosper on an individual level. This all brings us to the topic of today, the oldest still functioning codified constitution. 0:00 Intro 1:48 Living With the Animals 5:42 The OG Constitution 10:12 Doing a Bad Job in a Good Way 15:29 A Culmination 23:00 We Hold These Truths to Be Self Evident 27:43 Too Good an Opinion of Human Nature 30:14 A Rising, Not a Setting Sun 45:19 Wherever There is an Interest and Power to Do Wrong, Wrong Will Generally Be Done 48:00 The Test of Time
